Chemical Plants- Air Cleaning Blowers (Pressurize Dangerous Locations)

CHEMICAL PLANTS

In petrochemical plants, pumping stations, gas trains, and refineries, purging and pressurization are frequent needs, particularly in hazardous areas. Control rooms, analyzer sheds, and other facilities require clean air to be continuously blown in to displace and prevent hazardous gases from entering.

Pressurizing and/or ventilating with clean air electrical enclosures, motor control centers, transformers, and switchgear to keep out dust
Pressurizing offices with clean air to keep out dust
Pressurize Dangerous Locations
Ventilating data centers to reduce use of air conditioning
Ventilating and pressurizing operators’ cabins on equipment and elsewhere
Removing dust in the air for employees to breathe easier
Supplying air compressors with clean air
Controlling dust at loading and unloading points for trucks, rail cars and ships
Purging and pressurization of enclosures and buildings in hazardous locations

The Air Cleaning Blower^TM (ACB) was designed to effectively remove dust, pollen, and other particles from the air in dusty and corrosive environments. Unlike traditional systems with clogging filters, the ACB eliminates the need for constant maintenance. After removing airborne particles caused by operations, the ACB blows out clean air to your application without the use of filter elements or media.

Other filters and air purifiers often suffer from quick and costly clogging, decreasing fan effectiveness, increasing energy consumption, and requiring frequent maintenance. However, the ACB stands apart by lacking filter media, ensuring consistent airflow, air pressure, and energy consumption. This makes it ideal for various applications such as ventilation, pressurization, or supplying air compressors.
Moreover, ACBs can effectively remove rain, mist, and snow from the air, keeping it dry and reducing the strain on air conditioning, refrigeration, or dehumidifying equipment. Their absence of filter media prevents wet or frozen components from obstructing airflow, making them particularly useful in pressurizing dangerous locations.

An internationally recognized filter-testing laboratory conducted independent tests on ACBs to establish their effectiveness. Results indicate that they remove over 98% of airborne dust and particles, including virtually all particles larger than 10 microns and about 40% of those down to 3 microns. This level of effectiveness surpasses many air-conditioning systems, preventing the accumulation of dust that could lead to motor or electric box overheating over time.
Originally developed for harsh environments such as steel, mining, and fertilizer plants, the Air Cleaning Blower™ (ACB) is versatile and suitable for pumping stations or plants in any location. Their effectiveness is exemplified by their use by the US Military in the Middle East to maintain cooling during sandstorms. As a result, they are an excellent complement to air conditioning systems, with manufacturers and retrofitters integrating them into their setups.
ACBs can also be adapted for use in hazardous environments, meeting NEC code requirements for various classifications, including Class I Groups B, C, and D Division/Zone 1 or 2, Class II Groups E, F, and G Division/Zone 1 or 2, and Class III Divisions 1 or 2.
