TaskProduction of electrical pressboard leaves residues of epoxy adhesive, which are washed off with an acetone-based solution. During polymerization the adhesive heats up to 220–250 °C, causing sudden releases of acetone and styrene into the work area and a risk of self-ignition of the gas-air mixture.
What we did- delivered a turnkey EPC project: design, procurement, installation and commissioning;- developed a system for controlled polymerization of adhesive residues;- implemented automation with equipment run-time logging, alarm tracking and dispatching at field and supervisory levels.
ResultPolymerization is now controlled, and up to 75% of the acetone is captured and reused.
