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 ...

As we move through the final quarter of the year, the overall health of the U.S. economy remains strong, demonstrating resilience in the face of global uncertainties. Notably, inflation is nearing the Federal Reserve’s target of 2%, which is a significant achievement for the Federal Reserve, reflecting the efficacy of its monetary policies in stabilizing the economy. Economic Landscape In August, the U.S. unemployment rate came in lower than anticipated, which created uncertainty among economists and businesses alike. This unexpected data prompted concerns that a recession might be imminent, as low unemployment can sometimes signal overheating in the economy. In reaction, the stock market experienced volatility, reflecting the collective anxiety about the possibility of an economic downturn. In response to these dynamics, the Federal Reserve acted decisively by cutting interest rates by 50 basis points, exceeding the consensus expectation of a 25 basis point cut. This larger-than-expec...

Epcon Industrial Systems custom-designed and manufactured two batch ovens specifically for aging aluminum structural components for a Tier 1 automotive supplier. Each oven includes a multi-tiered rack system and has sufficient capability to heat 6,500 pounds of aluminum and 2,500 pounds of steel from 70°F to 400°F in under two hours while meeting the stringent temperature uniformity requirement of +/5°F. The ovens were also designed to meet CQI -9 requirements. Visit us https://epconlp.com for more information.

A new system comprising a curing oven, regenerative thermal oxidizer (RTO) , and secondary and tertiary heat exchangers can help reduce operating costs while ensuring the safe removal of volatile organic compounds during composite bonding processes. Among all chemical curing techniques, convection and radiant thermal curing represent the most widely used applications for adhesives and sealants . During the curing process, adhesives and sealants usually pass through two physical transformations—evaporation and condensation—while being applied to other materials. In addition to physical changes, the specific temperatures cause chemical changes in adhesives and sealants at a molecular level, where polymer chains’ crosslinking occurs. Crosslinking represents the final step of polymerization, which optimizes the tensile strength of the material and solidifies the adhesive bonds in the curing process. Achieving this critical threshold requires not only predetermined temperature ranges but...

Business View Magazine interviews Tasha Jamaluddin, Managing Director of Epcon Industrial Systems, for our focus on the U.S. Manufacturing Sector Few companies that are not environmental protection agencies are as hard at work protecting the environment as Epcon Industrial Systems .
