Enhancing Air Quality

Collecting dust and other impurities in the air or from gas is something many industries continue to improve yearly.  

It's a necessary requirement in many industries and the composite industry, which includes materials such a fiberglass and natural fibers, is no exception.  Air borne dust is not only a housekeeping  expense but will also reduce worker productivity and contaminate one's products.

At Environsytems Group, we manufacture dust collectors aimed at containing the large amounts of contaminates and impurities that can fill workspace.  One important reason manufactures need a dust collection system is to avoid the health risk.  Inhaling contaminated dust can develop into respiratory illnesses as well as aggravate existing respiratory conditions. There are various types of composite dust that can also cause irritation to uncovered skin surface.  Many people do not know but dust can stay suspended for hours. Exposing employees to this type of environment will certainly result in a bunch of compensation claims or even possibly a law suit. Providing a dust collection system at machinery as well as self-contained ceiling suspended dust collection systems will keep the shop air virtually dust free.

Our state-of the-art dust collection systems range from self contained units, such as our PACS 10K; to stand alone work stations like the Airwall Contamination Control Booth.  These products improve air quality by removing 99.9% of airborne sub-micron particulates which exceeds current OSHA and EPA permissible exposure levels for most materials.

Uses for the Airwall with CCB include: material handling and manufacturing procedures, dry chemical processing, powder coating, grinding, welding, sanding and fiberglass repair.

The benefits offered by Envirosystems Group Airwall CCB systems include:

• Extremely low operating cost - minimize energy cost
• Isolate the problem - removes 99.9% of airborne sub-micron particulate
• Simple and inexpensive installation cost
• Automatic filter  cleaning
• Improve productivity and workers safety - no dust migration outside the booth

DOW Chemical flexibility in crossflow finishing booths design

Envirosystems Group, LLC (ESG) can now add another name to its client list.  Michigan-based Dow Chemical Group recently chose the company to assist in their internal manufacturing plant air control initiatives.  Envirosystems provided two laminar crossflow finishing booths to be implemented alongside DOW’s in house dust collection processes.

Because Envirosystems Group and DOW worked together in defining the need and coordinating the best solution. ESG was able to provide customized laminar booths. One of the unique features of the two structures is the full sliding front entry doors with glass windows for viewing in and out.

"This is another case where we really excel, we are quick to adapt to our customers needs and our flexibility in the way we design and build our equipment gives us multiple advantages over our competitors,” said Shane Fausel CEO of Envirosystems Group.  “If a customer needs a specialized solution for their dust collection, blast equipment, or finishing booth requirements, chances are we can provide it. We are proud to have customers like Dow Chemical who rely on our quality and commitment.”

New Green House Gas Rules for Aircraft Engine Manufacturers

Now that the New Year resolution buzz has cleared the air, Aircraft Engine Manufacturers now have a new compliance obligation to submit various required reports; regulations covering the industry and Green House Gas.

The latest (EPA Guidence Letters - 01/07/2011 ); Submission of Required Compliance Reports points to Aircraft Engine Manufacturers; This letter notifies manufacturers to submit required reports to EPA to meet compliance under the Green House Gas Reporting Rule.

"EPA will be actively monitoring the compliance status for all reports you are required to file," said Karl Simon, Director Compliance and Innovative Strategies Division, Office of
Transportation and Air Quality, in his latest guidence letter.

Businesses now get money once reserved for government.

Consultant, Susan Ward (20 years’ experience in business and technology development;  access to key policy makers, decision makers and funds keepers at state and federal level) says there is a shifting paradigm; "U.S. government funding for new composites technology projects is still out there, if a company has the right project, presented with the right strategy, to the right government agency."

Envirosystems Group, LLC has experienced the frustrations of clients who have a need for finding the best financial resources for funding composites projects.  To the point that we now offer 100% Financing for our dust collection equipment (Airwall), blasting systems / paint and surface remove equipment  (Stripmaster), including our paint / finishing booths.

Read Susan's full article: Renewable energy: The carrot and the stick at Composite World (.com) and perhaps you company will be like Fisker Automotive who recently received a $528.7 million (USD) loan from the U.S. Department of Energy (DoE) for the development and production of two lines of composites-intensive, plug-in, hybrid-electric vehicles.

If your business has struggled or is currently struggling with funding projects, please let us hear your situation, because funding composite projects this is one issue we will continue to follow.
