Bay Area air treatment organizations are exploring ways to reduce air pollution. Health and environmental specialists have concerns about residents health protection. Especially those who live near local oil refineries. The main goal is to significantly reduce the amount of air pollution.

According to experts, dirty air is the air that contains particulate matter. Many people are aware of the air quality issues caused by wildfires, as well as pollution from vehicles and industries. Tiny particulate matter is the most serious health risk associated with air pollution. The objective is to reduce particulate matter content in the air which leads to lowering the rates of mortality and increasing the average life span.

Plant emission contain PM 2.5. It is a fine particulate matter with diameters that are generally 2.5 micrometers or smaller. PM 2.5 is inhalable and worsens conditions for people who have preexisting heart and lung diseases, including children with asthma. The studies also show a link between particulate matter and cardiovascular disease, among other health problems.

The local oil refineries have the most significant environmental impact on the air quality. In fact, they contain refinery components called fluidized catalytic cracking units. These units apply a chemical catalyst helping to break crude oil into lighter components. During this process, the catalyst is covered with a carbon material, which is then burned off. According to the statistics, this procedure emits more particulate matter than other refining processes and represents a significant part of each plants total emission.

Environmentalists suggested installing scrubber systems that limit the amount of particulate matter in the cracking units emission. These measures could greatly cut annual particulate matter emission. When this statement is approved, the rule will go into effect in five years. The plants should establish a system called a wet air scrubber.

The wet scrubbers can capture and remove particulate pollutants by sending exhaust gas through sprays of scrubbing liquid. Wet air scrubbers have the advantage of removing 99% of contaminants from the process stream. The scrubbers allow the government to considerably limit the amount of particulate matter emitted into the atmosphere.

Today, wet scrubbers are regarded as the most modern and cost-effective air pollution treatment technology.

If you are looking for the best air treatment device to improve air quality, Redwood Technology offers a cutting-edge type of wet scrubber – a Multi-Vortex wet air scrubber.

Redwood technology is a fast-growing vendor of wet air scrubbers. The multi-vortex scrubber can remove gas emissions, dust, vapors, and other pollutants from a gas stream. It is an innovative technology created to save water that makes it more cost-efficient and differs from other types of scrubbers.
