ACS SYSTEMS Advanced Cyclone Systems (ACS) is dedicated to the development of high efficiency cyclone systems. ACS has several projects for biomass combustion emission control currently working successfully in Canada. ACS Systems’ wide range of cyclones can work to cut down emissions to 150, 100, 70 and even 30 milligrams per cubic metre (mg/Rm3), complying with even the strictest regulations. On applications like wood rotary dryers, hurricane cyclones are an alternative for wet electrostatic precipitators (WESPs). www.advancedcyclonesystems.com CV TECHNOLOGY system that violently shocks the bags, and thus decreases the filter life. By eliminating the flow restrictive venturi, Scientific Dust Collectors lowers the system pressure drop, thus the system uses less energy for the system fan. www.scientificdustcollectors.com FIREFLY The Interceptor-HRD explosion suppression system is designed to provide an active method to protect process equipment from a dust explosion hazard. The principle of operation for the Interceptor-HRD system is timely detection of the pressure rise during the initial stage of an explosion, followed by fast injection of an extinguishing agent. Each Interceptor-HRD bottle includes a low-pressure monitoring switch, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) lockout, and a telescopic nozzle as standard features. www.cvtechnology.com SCIENTIFIC DUST COLLECTORS In biomass plants, fires and explosions occur due to sparks originating from the process. Installing a Firefly Spark Detection & Extinguishing System safeguards against hazards before a fire or dust explosion occurs. Firefly uses dual eye detectors with a 180-degree angle view. The detectors have TrueIR detection detecting a hot particle or black body at temperatures as low as 250 C. Firefly’s Power Impact Extinguishing uses a minimum of three nozzles with full cone water spray. Each nozzle has its own solenoid valve with quick release for easy testing outside the process. www.firefly.se VETS SHEET METAL Since 1981, Scientific Dust Collectors has offered a complete line of baghouse and cartridge collectors with special design features – most notably, a patented high-velocity nozzle cleaning system. This system induces a greater amount of cleaning air that gently cleans the bags versus a flow restrictive venturi-based VETS Sheet Metal was founded in 1921 by a First Word War veteran and has nearly 100 years of HVAC experience. The company completes projects in industrial, light industrial and institutional HVAC capacities with a specialization in dust collection and pneumatic conveying. Every application requires a unique approach to the development and implementation of a dust system. Whether the best tool for the job is a traditional cyclone or baghouse or something more unique like a Multi-Cone or Cyclofilter, VETS can engineer, design, fabricate and install a system that meets or exceeds your plant’s safety and environmental requirements. www.vetsgroup.com WHEN IT ALL RESTS ON YOUR SHOULDERS, WE’VE GOT YOUR BACK.
