shoe assembly line, the bonding process involves the use of adhesives that emit volatile organic compounds, known as VOCs.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To reduce the environmental impact of these emissions and improve the operating parameters of the existing facility, Sanu Vent designed and implemented an additional stage of exhaust air filtration.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The technical solution was integrated into the existing exhaust system and sized to ensure the effective capture of volatile organic compounds generated during the production process.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Main Components of the System<\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1\ufe0f\u20e3 Activated carbon filter<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main component of the solution is an industrial activated carbon filter, designed to capture and retain volatile organic compounds from the exhaust air stream.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Filtration using activated carbon is based on the process of adsorption, whereby pollutant molecules are trapped on the surface of the filter material before the air is discharged outside.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2\ufe0f\u20e3 System with 30 filter cartridges<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The filtration unit is equipped with 30 cartridges, each containing 30 kg of activated carbon.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The total amount of adsorbent material used in the plant is 900 kg, ensuring a high retention capacity for volatile organic compounds and efficient operation under the specific conditions of the technological process.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3\ufe0f\u20e3 11-kW centrifugal fan<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The installation of the activated carbon filter has caused an increase in pressure drop in the exhaust system.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To compensate for these and maintain the required airflow, the existing fan was replaced with an 11-kW centrifugal fan.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new fan was sized to ensure optimal operation of the entire system, even after the addition of the extra filtration stage.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4\ufe0f\u20e3 Integration into the existing exhaust system<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The solution was adapted to the existing technical configuration without disrupting the normal production flow.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By integrating the filter with the new ventilation unit, the system can maintain the required air intake and exhaust parameters while ensuring a reduction in VOC concentration.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Purpose and Benefits of the Facility<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By installing the activated carbon filter, emissions of volatile organic compounds resulting from the soldering process were significantly reduced.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The installation contributes to:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>reducing emissions of volatile organic compounds;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>improving the quality of the exhaust air;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>maintaining the performance of the exhaust system;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>adapting the system to the requirements of the manufacturing process;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>protecting the environment;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>improving overall operating conditions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Outcome of the project<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through this project, Sanu Vent developed a comprehensive solution for filtering exhaust air from a shoe assembly line.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The installation of a filter containing 900 kg of activated carbon and the replacement of the existing fan with an 11-kW centrifugal fan made it possible to reduce emissions of volatile organic compounds without compromising the performance of the exhaust system.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The result is a reliable and efficient system, tailored to the requirements of industrial processes and designed to minimize environmental impact.<\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator
