LITERATURE ANNOUNCEMENT
Title: Reducing Fuel costs in Process
Ovens and Dryers Which Use Solvents
Summary: The cost of
natural gas used for heating process ovens & dryers can
be substantial. This new application note describes how
the use of solvent vapor analyzers can lower oven
heating costs.
The
installation of solvent vapor analyzers allows the
implementation of several money-saving steps:
● A reduction of
ventilation air without affecting existing production
rates or violating NFPA directives
● An increase in production
speed without increasing existing air or fuel cost
● Compound savings by
reusing, rather than expelling, some of a hot exhaust
stream back into an oven zone
● Reduction of oven exhaust
rates to lower the demand on VOC destruction oxidizers
Benefits can range from a simple reduction of heated
ventilation air to a combination of both reduced
heating and increased production. This can result in
dramatic fuel savings!
