Industrial Air Quality
Mist and vapor collection for process air.
Machining and process emissions need capture close to the source, with the right filtration and drainage strategy for the contaminant and equipment.
Start with the process
Visible haze is often a system-performance warning.
Poor enclosure capture, saturated media, blocked drains, fan problems, duct leakage, and changed production loads can reduce mist-collector performance.
- Haze around machines
- Residue on nearby surfaces
- Odor or worker complaints
- Rapid filter saturation
- Drainage or carryover problems
How we look at it
We look at the whole system before recommending work
We review the emitting process, enclosure or hood, ductwork, collector stage, drainage, fan, and maintenance history.
- Source-capture assessment
- Collector and filter review
- Drainage observations
- Fan and control troubleshooting
- Maintenance and improvement planning
Plan the right service
Identify the contaminant before choosing collection equipment
Coolant droplets, oil mist, smoke and vapor are not interchangeable collection problems. Share the process, fluid information, machine enclosure and available equipment drawings. A particulate mist filter is not automatically suitable for a gaseous contaminant; the collection method must match the application.
For an existing collector, record changes in visible escape, drainage, pressure readings and maintenance intervals. Compare conditions at similar production loads. The assessment should consider capture, duct connections, filter selection, drainage and fan operation together rather than assuming every symptom means the filter needs replacing.
Before the visit
Information that helps define the work
- Machine and collector models; fluid and material information
- Operating hours, pressure trends and recent filter changes
- Shutdown access and site safety requirements

Let’s walk the system with you
From the capture point to the discharge, we’ll look at what’s working and what isn’t, then explain it plainly.
