Braby
04 August 2008 - Braby Help Clean up Industry’s Act
Braby, one of the UK’s largest manufacturers of stainless steel and aluminium silos, are working towards a cleaner environment by constructing chemical dosing test rigs for industrial waste. The test rigs which are skid mounted modular units are designed to remove pollutants and reduce landfill; preventing harmful chemical waste from being released into the surroundings.

To support their partners in industry, Bristol-based Braby have developed several test rigs, currently at cement and incineration sites across the country, in which trials of many commonly used chemical compounds can take place before customers place long term investments.

Alternative fuels, such as tyres, waste and industrial by-products are often now used in the generation of energy and manufacture of products. However, these cheaper alternative sources of energy produce harmful waste gas streams, which if left untreated can lead to serious pollution problems.
To meet stringent European wide legislation, these pollutants must be cleaned before their release into the atmosphere. By dosing various re-agents into gas streams and conducting reactions at temperature which change chemical composition, harmful pollutants can be neutralised and removed from the waste stream.

“Assisting customers who introduce new materials to their environmental process is a key part of Braby’s offering,” discusses Paul Mayer, Sales and Marketing Director of Braby: “Working in partnership with an organisation with the relevant experience gives customers reassurance that process changes they are using fully comply with EU regulations.”

The test rigs, available for short term hire, can handle a wide range of materials at various rates. The rigs can be run in manual mode, where rates per minute or hour are set, or alternatively the PLC control can adjust the feed rate as required, relative to gas monitor emissions feed back.
