EXAMPLES OF INDUSTRIAL AIR PURIFICATION SYSTEMS CASE STUDIES
BMB technologies can be applied successfully in different industrial contexts for different examples of industrial air purification plants: from those where it’s necessary to manage and hinder odours, to those in which it’s fundamental to reduce pollutants. Here you can find some BMB’S industrial air purification plants case studies, that describe in detail some interventions performed in the food industry, oil&gas and wastewater treatment contexts.
that others don’t know how to treat.
AMONG OUR CLIENTS
Problems others don’t solve
and how we tackled them
Some industrial emissions can’t be treated with standard solutions. Many of our installations, are carried out on existing, operating plants, without halting production.
Not every emission can be solved with an off-the-shelf solution. When concentrations are high, discharge limits are stringent and the plant can’t be shut down, you have to start with on-site analysis, size with precision and, at times, combine multiple technologies.
How do you remove MTBE from a refinery’s groundwater?
At an ENI refinery, MTBE in the groundwater was at 414 mg/L, but the required discharge limit was 8 mg/L, with a flow rate of 48 m³/h. A reduction of more than 50 times, on a plant that couldn’t be stopped.
A high-efficiency stripping plant, with water pre-treatment, a column sized to the actual concentrations, an optimised air/water system and compliant treatment of the exhaust air.
Over 99.7% di removal. Outgoing MTBE below 1 mg/L and stable operation even at full load.
How do you abate odours and H₂S in a wastewater treatment plant?
Nuisance odours and hydrogen sulphide (H₂S) from the wastewater treatment tanks. Little space available, other plants already in operation and the need to work 24 hours a day.
Two scrubbing towers (scrubbers) to abate the acidic compounds, followed by a biofiltration unit for the residual odours. Fully automated, with remote monitoring.
98% and 99% abatement of odours and H₂S, with a compact, low-consumption plant.
Why do you need an olfactometric survey before installing a plant?
At a food company, the odours could be detected outside, but no one knew where they really came from. Installing a plant without understanding this first would have meant spending money in the wrong places.
An olfactometric survey using dynamic olfactometry, a sensory analyser, an anemometric monitoring station and a dispersion model to measure the real impact of each source.
Sources identified and ranked by priority, so action could be taken first where it matters most.
Why BMB solves problems others don’t tackle
Many suppliers start from the abatement plant, as their first and only answer. We don’t: first we understand the problem, then we choose the solution.
More than seven out of ten of our installations are carried out on plants already in operation, where getting the point of intervention wrong is not an option.
EXAMPLES OF INDUSTRIAL AIR PURIFICATION SYSTEMS CASE STUDIES
BMB is one of the best air treatment industrial plants manufacturers and its technologies can be applied to different industrial contexts, from the raw material processing to the chemical, pharmaceutical, food and service sector. Case studies illustrate examples of BMB working method: client’s need analysis, research of the proper solution, custom-made design and installation.
Within the context of food industries, abatement of NH3 and odours with scrubber washing tower and closed biofiltering modules.
Abatement of oudours generated by wastwater treatment tanks. Plant with biofilter and washing tower.
Non-impacting chemical washing plant on site of organic waste stocking to reduce air pollutants.

Abetement of odour sources caused by sulfurized compunds in sedimentation tanks, with Carbon Footprint filters
Plant adapted to manage odour and pollutant emissions generated by the production porcesses vents.
All cases in wich gas streams and vents into the oil & gas industry must be treated to reduce pollutants and odours, like vents coming from liquid hydocarbon movement.
Abatement of emissions generated bu vents installed in storage tanks of highly odorous substances, such as chemical, leachetes and slurries.

OPTIMISED INDUSTRIAL AIR PLANTS
BMB examples of industrial air purification plants are made by combining the technologies at our disposal with custom-made parameters. In order to obtain the maximum efficiency to optimise the maintenance/performance ratio. Each plant is given with dedicated software monitoring its function constantly, hence guaranteeing a smart remote surveillance. Our software automatically provide for ordinary maintenance, alert in advance about the required interventions of extraordinary maintenance and intervene in case of warnings and critical issues.
TURNKEY PLANT
Each industrial air filtration system plant realized by BMB is custom designed after thorough field study. The initial study of condition, context and potential problems allows or technicians to propose targeted and tailored solutions, appointed plants and specific technologies for any kind of problem.

MANUFACTORING AND INSTALLATION
Each plant produced by BMB is designed, built and tested in-house. The installation is planned and carried out by our specialized technicians.

MAINTENANCE ASSISTANCE
BMB offers complete and custom service for plant assistence and maintenance: oordinary maintenance, extraordinary availability and remote monitoring.

PLANT DESIGN
Our plants are designed in compliance with the most updated law and engineering standars, are applied to needs of client so as optimize the investment.
