OUR PROCESS

Getting Started with Epcon

You can contact us via phone, email, chat or by filling out a detailed quote online to begin the process. From there we will assign a sales and applications engineer to review your request and work with you to evaluate your process and operating demands, to develop the optimal custom technology solution.

Estimated Project Timelines

Everything we design and manufacture is custom, so delivery times will vary based on the scale and complexity of the systems required. During the initial evaluation, our sales & applications engineers will be able to estimate the project timeline from initial concept to start-up.

Installation & After Sales Support

Our Commissioning team will be onsite to not only oversee the installation and startup process, but also train your operators. We offer a range of after sales services, from preventative maintenance and spare parts programs, to global 24/7 in field service technical support to make sure your systems never experience costly downtime.

OUR COMMITMENT

After 48+ Years in business, and 4000+ systems operating across industries worldwide, Epcon's reputation is built on our commitment to quality work and dedication to our customers. Our success is grounded in repeat business. When you choose Epcon, you choose a supplier you can trust.

Afterburner with Quench & Scrubber for Petrochemical Operations

Image
The Challenge A leader in Latin America’s Chemical and  Petrochemical Industry  needed equipment to oxidize Hydrogen Sulphide and removal of SO 2 /SO 3 . The chemical plant generated large quantities of exhaust enriched with H 2 S, water vapor and air, which were costing the facility exorbitant amounts to properly dispose of . The company went out seeking the technical solutions and went to several  manufacturers  to locate the best possible technology. The Solution  Epcon has built several systems for Chemical companies for similar applications for removal of H 2 S and acid gases and used their prior experience to asses the appropriate technology. Epcon evaluated several technologies and decided on an Afterburner with Quench and Scrubber as the best solution for this application. Other types of oxidizers can be used, but based on their small flow and high heat release from VOC’s we chose an Afterburner. Epcon also designed and installed Quench ...

Coil Coating Line with Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer and Multistage Heat Recovery

Image
The Challenge A Coil Coating operation utilized an old direct-fired afterburner and a portion of the exhausts gas to heat a 100’ long curing oven, operating at line speeds up to 700ft/min The Solution Evaluating the appropriate oxidation system for a specific process stream is more challenging and requires in depth analysis of the specific process gas and operating parameters, as there are many configurations to choose from. A Direct Fired Afterburner, sometimes called an incinerator, is the most elementary system, as it contains no heat recovery system. Ideal for high VOC levels and fluctuating operating conditions. Thermal oxidizers are more sophisticated systems with a variety of heat recovery systems and configurations, typically used for larger process air flows.  Regenerative system, which uses media to absorb and transfer heat, was selected for this application.  In addition they are not steady-state, Instead they rely on a cycling gas, which flows ...
