Manufacturing an Economic Dust Filtration System

Solenoid Valve Enclosure with Timer, Series SVT

Many customers have come to the Dwyer team asking: “What can Dwyer do to help with lean manufacturing?In this article, we will discuss the Dwyer® Series SVT solenoid valve and timer enclosure and its cost savings advantages in a dust filtration system.

The Series SVT combines two integral components in a dust filtration system into one package: solenoid valves and a timer controller. In a dust filtration system, solenoid valves are used to send air through a pulse valve, such as our Series RDCS.  Pulse valves release a quick spurt of air into a dirty dust cartridge filter, which, in turn, releases the dust from the filter. The timer portion of the dust filtration system is the brains of the operation controlling when the solenoids fire, the amount of time the solenoids are open, and when the next solenoid in the sequence fires.

Sump Level Make-Up Water Controls in Wet Chemical Scrubbers

Maintaining efficiency in wet chemical scrubbers has become one of the most important missions of current APC facilities due to urban growth and plant expansion/modernization projects as good stewards of the community. Systems often run above the 90% efficiency mark with the help of accurate make-up water control instruments. Continue reading “Sump Level Make-Up Water Controls in Wet Chemical Scrubbers”
