Case Study
Fast Response and Continuous Gas Analysis Reduce Emissions and Enhance Raw Materials Recovery
An unreliable gas analysis system led to costly shutdowns. Continuous gas analysis allowed the plant to track the recovery rate of the adsorber accurately and reliably, reduce emissions substantially, and save a significant amount of money. CHEMICAL Fast Response and Continuous Gas Analysis Reduce Emissions and Enhance Raw Materials Recovery RESULTS • Reduction in the consumption of costly raw materials • Elimination of regulatory fines by reducing acetone emissions from 1000ppm to 300ppm • Savings of $5M per year through carryover gas consumption • Elimination of plant shutdowns that had previously cost $10M APPLICATION Chemical manufacturing CUSTOMER Major chemical manufacturer in Latin America CHALLENGE A major manufacturer of cellulose acetate in Latin America was faced with
