Integrated Suction Control

Integrated Suction Control
DEC.ISC™

In industrial settings, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) pose a significant environmental and health hazard: to effectively control and eliminate these harmful substances, centralized VOC emission control systems are often employed. However, ensuring consistent and efficient suction of gaseous streams to these units from multiple sources can be challenging. This is where the DEC.ISC™, an integrated suction control system, steps in to increase global performances of the VOC emission control systems.

When multiple sources of gaseous streams are diverted to a centralized VOC emission control systems, the varying pressure drops across the connecting lines can lead to uneven suction pressures. This can result in inefficient VOC removal, potential process disruptions, increased level of fugitives, and even safety hazards. Traditional suction control methods often involve complex balancing valves and manual adjustments, which can be time-consuming, error-prone, and prone to human error.

The DEC.ISC™ system provides a centralized, automated solution for managing suction balancing across machines connected from various locations, where consistent pressure drop differences can pose challenges. By employing advanced control algorithms, pressure transmitters (PT), and pneumatic regulating dampers (PCV), the system continuously adjusts suction pressures in real-time. For distant lines experiencing significant pressure variations, a dedicated booster (DEC.SBS™) can be installed to maintain uniformity. This ensures all gaseous streams deliver a consistent and optimal flow to the centralized VOC abatement unit, minimizing pressure perturbations in the SLA flow, while enhancing process stability, operator safety, and VOC caputuring efficiency, all with reduced operating costs.
