In this air pollution control installation example, we designed and delivered a heavy-duty fan for an OEM who designs and manufactures thermal oxidizers. This backward-curved induced draft fan is an arrangement 8 direct-coupled drive with a flexible coupling.


Air pollution control requires heavy-duty construction with materials like special alloys, coatings, and accessories for processing particulates in the polluted air stream. This installation included extended lubrication lines for ease of maintenance.
