Industry Humidity Control
In industrial applications, maintaining proper humidity is crucial to preventing material shrinkage or expansion, preserving product quality, and reducing waste. Our misting systems ensure consistent humidity levels, which significantly improve flexibility and specific weight in materials like paper, yarn, and textiles, thereby minimizing defects and breakage.
By regulating humidity, our systems also help to maintain optimal working conditions and product integrity, particularly in industries that deal with hygroscopic materials, such as paper and textiles.
In addition, misting systems are effective in reducing electrostatic charges, which can degrade product quality and pose safety risks in manufacturing environments.
Odor Control
Misting for deodorization through odor removal, with or without chemicals.
The fog-like scrubber for unpleasant odors. The water mist acts as an effective vehicle for transporting chemicals that can neutralize odors. The mist also creates a barrier against odors through air diffusion.
The nebulization of water-soluble molecules capable of neutralizing odors is a proven solution, especially for organic substances, sulfides, and more.
Thanks to this, we can create effective, environmentally friendly, and natural deodorization systems.
Odor Control and Reduction by Water Misting and Appropriate Chemicals
Our misting systems are widely used for odor control, particularly in industrial sectors where strict regulations on odorous particle emissions must be adhered to.
In Europe, the standard for odor measurement is EN 13725, which was introduced in April 2003: "Determination of odor concentration by dynamic olfactometry."
The emission of unpleasant odors due to harmful substances is mostly regulated near population centers, especially near sources that may disturb residents, such as:
- Waste treatment and disposal plants
- Sewage treatment plants
- Livestock farms
- Chemical industries
- Paper mills
- Iron and steel industries
- Food industries
- Oil refineries
Over the years, we have developed technologies that allow you to monitor and reduce odors automatically, thanks to the electronic management of facilities, intervening only when necessary.
An important innovation is the introduction of the electronic nose, defined in scientific terms as a "tool that includes a set of specific sensors and an appropriate system for identifying smells" (Gardner & Bartlett, 1994).
By combining the use of the electronic nose, automated control systems, and odor control chemicals, our clients have been able to address specific odor emission problems, improving their business while remaining compliant with current standards.
Our technical department is available to analyze the feasibility of tailored chemical products to meet customer needs based on chemical analysis, ensuring particularly effective deodorizing action.
Water Mist: Firefighting with Misting
Innovative. Effective. Affordable.
Water mist systems are increasingly used, based on fine misting through high pressure, ranging from 80 bar to 140 bar, to create compact fog with droplet diameters between 50 and 120 microns (μm).
Water mist systems combine the advantages of liquid extinguishers with those of gas diffusion systems. These systems are non-harmful to people and objects, reducing risks and costs when extinguishing a fire.
The fog fights the fire in three main ways:
- Cooling the flames and smoke, bringing the temperature below combustion levels.
- Reducing local oxygen levels, where water vapor displaces oxygen, suffocating the fire.
- Reducing heat transfer, preventing further combustion and reducing damage from heat propagation during a fire.
Dust and Odor Suppression in Foundries and Industries
Misting Used in Industry: Cooling, Humidification, Water Mist, Dust Suppression, Odor Control
Misting is used in various industrial applications, including cooling (foundries, plastic molding, steel industry, food industry), humidification (cold storage, food industry, textile industry, paper industry), dust suppression (wood, concrete, ceramic industry, quarries), and odor control (water purification systems, chemical industries).
Cooling the work environment is required by health and safety laws to ensure optimal temperature and humidity. Misting also improves product quality by cooling products during processing, reducing scrap.
Maintaining proper humidity helps preserve food freshness and extends shelf life, as it reduces weight loss and maintains the product's economic value.
Dust removal is crucial for workplace safety and environmental protection. Misting is used to control fine dust in various industrial settings.
For odors, the law requires the breakdown of unpleasant smells. Misting is an effective solution to reduce odors in workplaces and surrounding environments.
Dust and Odor Suppression in Foundries: Misting Advantages
In foundries, sprinkler systems are used to remove wet dust and odors. Nebulizers offer advantages over other dust filtration systems, especially in hot, humid conditions. Misting helps to cool and weigh down dust particles, making them easier to capture and preventing heat damage.
However, a downside of this technology is the formation of sludge, which must be disposed of properly.
Volatile Organic Solvent Removal
The nebulization of acid solutions is also effective for removing volatile organic solvents due to chemical reactions that occur. Acid solutions maintain a pH between 2 and 4, typically with sulfuric acid or H3PO4, and can be sprayed directly into the suction duct of the mold-blowing machine.
Foundry Odor Reduction
Misting technology is also used to reduce odors from the casting process in foundries. Unlike dry abatement systems, misting can filter fine dust particles and dissolve pollutants, significantly reducing odors.
Outdoor Pre-Cooling for Air Conditioners
MGF misting systems are increasingly used for pre-cooling outdoor air conditioning units. These systems improve energy efficiency and lower consumption by cooling the incoming air, reducing operating costs, and extending the life of air conditioning systems.
By controlling temperature and humidity through sophisticated electronic systems, our misting systems operate autonomously, ensuring maximum efficiency at minimal cost.
