2. AIR POLLUTION STRATEGIES TO
TREAT VARIOUS APPLICATIONS OF
STORAGE TANK FUGITIVE EMISSIONS
Storage tanks are used across most industrial
operations, from material transport, to onsite
facilities for chemical use and storage. The vapors
venting from these tanks can be a significant
source of fugitive emissions, during the loading
and unloading of tanks, interior cleaning, as well
as during storage and transportation of the liquid
contents. Efforts to mitigate fugitive emissions
from tank venting can include the use of control
valves, sealing systems, as well as continuous
monitoring and detection technologies, emissions
capture and reuse technologies, and emission
control technology. Before diving into the
specifics of how to capture and treat these tank
emissions, it is important to first give an overview
of assessing emissions.

3. METHODS TO INCREASE PAINT AND
COATING APPLICATION PROCESS
EFFICIENCIES
The industrial painting and coating of
surfaces typically involves stages of heat
treatment along with significant VOC
emissions, which make the process well
suited for an integrated “oven/oxidizer
combination” design with multi-stage heat
recovery. By utilizing heat exchangers to
transfer heat, it is possible to recover and
recycle most of the thermal energy that
would otherwise be wasted in the process,
and potentially save millions in annual
operating costs.

4. THE IMPACT OF ESG ON
PROCUREMENT
Research has shown that two-thirds of the
average company’s ESG footprint lies with
suppliers. Environmental, social, and
governance is the measurable evolution of
Corporate, Social, Responsibility (CSR).
Environmental covers issues around climate
change, such as pollution, carbon emissions
and footprint, deforestation, and more; the
Social covers everything from health and
safety, human rights, diversity, equality, and
community impact; while Governance deals
with business ethics in general, encompassing
compensation, bribery and corruption, as well
as legal and regulatory compliance.

5. SOPHISTICATED CONTROL
SYSTEMS FOR OPTIMAL PROCESS
OPERATIONS
Whether installing new equipment or
retrofitting an existing facility, make sure
the industrial systems use the latest in
controls technology and with the capacity
to meet a range of variable operational
demands while limiting operator oversight.

6. ACHIEVING NET-POSITIVE
OPERATIONS IN ADHESIVE TAPE
MANUFACTURING
As manufacturers in the adhesives sector
increasingly champion their roles as
environmental stewards, their focus
extends beyond the monetary benefits of
immediate operations such as a reduced
downtime, fuel cost, and waste disposal
fees. Instead, the currency of
environmental, social, and governance
(ESG) factors comes to the forefront, and
the lasting environmental impacts that
manufacturers’ decisions will have for
generations become of equal or even
greater importance.

– TRUSTED ENVIRONMENTAL
SOLUTIONS
Few companies that are not environmental
protection agencies are as hard at work
protecting the environment as Epcon
Industrial Systems. Based in The
Woodlands, Texas, the company is in a
unique niche that builds air pollution
control solutions for a wide range of
industries. In its 44th year, the company
has become a significant supplier for

8. OPTIMIZING PROCESS
OPERATIONS
From metal preparation, coating
application, and curing, to emissions
compliance and safety measures, a
custom-engineered controls system is an
essential feature for any metal coil coating
line.

9. CUSTOM COIL COATING SYSTEM MEETS
PRODUCTION AND VOC REMOVAL
DEMANDS FOR AUTOMOTIVE
MANUFACTURER
Every manufacturing operation that produces
finished painted metal products needs to assess
the benefits of using pre-coated metal coils or
applying paint directly on the finished product.
Epcon Industrial Systems pursued a feasibility
study for a large automotive manufacturer
regarding its transition from the painting of metal
parts on-site to the coating of coils used for
various automobile parts. Both the coil coating
process and the post-painting of automotive
metal parts are notorious for high thermal
requirements in coater rooms, in-house spray
booths, curing ovens and volatile organic
compound (VOC) removal.

10. IMPROVING EFFICIENCY AND
SUSTAINABILITY IN COMPOSITES
BONDING
A new system comprising a curing oven,
regenerative thermal oxidizer (RTO), and
secondary and tertiary heat exchangers
can help reduce operating costs while
ensuring the safe removal of volatile
organic compounds during composite
bonding processes.
