DUST-FUME-ODOR-AEROSOL-GREASE-PAINT ARRESTERS

FOR INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS

 

The Air Pollution Control (APC) shall not become a financial and emotional burden. Air Pollution Control Systems shall not waste time and money on expensive operation and abundance of maintenance.

 

The existing conventional APC systems are complicated, expensive in the initial costs, troublesome in operation and laborious in maintenance.

 

The exceptional arresters type London Falls,

designed, developed and patented by APCCo to provide:

-          Highly efficient system for air and liquid pollution control with a wide range of operating conditions, exceptional reliability and long-term performance, simplicity, low initial and operating costs at minimal maintenance and significant space saving.

-          The system, which avoids the tendency to become clogged.

-          The system, which is simple in operation and requires a minimum of skill and training.  

-     The internal fire prevention and flame suppression. 

                         London FallsTM is

Simple, NO Maintenance, Reliable, Intelligent. 

Simple. - The deceptively simple engineering makes use of the aerodynamic force of the exhaust fan to circulate a liquidfall contaminant capture system in the Air Turbo-Impactor, and accumulate it in the open Sludge Collector - the two welded sheet metal boxes. Sludge removal - without draining the entire system.

 

NO Maintenance - What is left for laborious cleaning, replacing, costly repairing, and shutdowns? It's hard to believe... cleaning, repair, and shutdowns are eliminated.

 

Reliable  Nothing can fail in these two boxes, which have NO motors or other electrical devices, pumps or nozzles, air or liquid filters, mist eliminators or baffles, moving or removable parts. Reliability is proven over decades of international installations and unmatched by any other technologies.

 

Intelligent - the Highest Air Purification Efficiency, Safe Contaminant Containment, Liquid Recirculation, Water Pollution Prevention and Water Conservation, Heat and Resource Recovery, Energy and Space Savings.

 

Fire and Explosion Prevention, Fire Suppression, Emergency Smoke Removal -  are provided without any special devices such as Fire Dampers, Sprinklers, Thermostats, etc.

 

Applications -  It traps light and heavy dusts, aerosol, odor, acid vapors, paint overspray with VOCs, sulfur dioxide, residues, grease-laden cooking vapors, soot, flyash, etc.

 

Resource Recovery - London Falls™ enables a paint reclamation, sugar powder turns to syrup, detergent powder to liquid soap, etc. It saves resource, money, and prevents air and water pollution.

 And all of those ARE in one simple unit - London  fallsTM

 

London Falls TM
Serves all types of Industrial and Commercial Air Pollution Control Systems: painting, plating, welding, sanding, polishing, buffing, kitchen ovens and hoods, food industry, petroleum, foundry, chemical, furniture, waste water treatment, power plants, laboratory hoods, etc.

FEATURE OF THE London Falls
The engineering concept of the system is based exclusively on the Aero-Hydro-Dynamic Principles, without any energy using devices or motors, moving or removable parts, pumps, nozzles, baffles, air or water filters.
The main unique features of LF are:
- high efficiency Air Turbo-Impactor.
- open and continuously accessible Sludge Collector.
 
OPERATION OF THE London Falls

The exhaust air, flowing through the Air Turbo-Impactor, conveys the liquid along the smoothly shaped guides. The guides are to create a strong, dynamic, and continuous zigzag liquid stream. The liquid stream, tangentially moving from guide to guide, intersects the air passage.

 

Thus, the exhaust air, passing through the Air Turbo-Impactor, creates for itself the dynamic and high density continuous liquid stream, which performs its purification. The contaminated air, penetrating the strong and dynamic liquid stream, is dispersed on small particles. The smaller air particles the more efficient contact with liquid, the higher purifying efficiency. The centrifugal force, exerted by rapid changes in direction of flow, causes contaminants to penetrate the liquid stream and to become permanently trapped. Then the clean air leaves the Air Turbo-Impactor.

 

The air cleaning is the combined action of impaction, venturi and centrifugal force, thorough intermixing, and abrupt expansion.

After the air cleaning procedure the contaminant-laden liquid flows strictly into the open-to-the-atmosphere Sludge Collector. Thus, the trapped matter are removed from confined space of the Air Turbo-Impactor into the safe and always accessible containment – the open-to-the-atmosphere Sludge Collector.

This concept uniquely facilitates a non-hazardous waste disposal, and does not require the entire drainage of the system, preventing the water pollution.

A quiet , laminar liquid flow in the Sludge Collector separates the contaminants.

Then the clarified liquid flows to the Air Turbo-Impactor for next air cleaning cycle.

This repeatedly continuous liquid recirculation is constituted by the air movement.

No need for a circulating pump.

Because the liquid is continually reused, its consumption is negligible.

While the Conventional Arresters are deprived of the uniform air suction the uniform airflow is the fundamental nature of the London FallsTM.

 
As the result of that, the air is pulled down evenly through the entire suction slot of the London Falls TM. The uniform air movement creates effective air patterns for healthy environment.
