Tech Talk – VOC Abatement Equipment Considerations & Incentives for the Flexographic Industry

Flexographic Printing applications use excessive amounts of solvents and chemicals in the manufacturing process, which in turn generates a substantial number of solvent & hydrocarbon-based emissions. Air quality agencies require that the release of VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) emissions during the labeling process needs to be captured and treated.

Ship & Shore Environmental: Advanced Emission Control Technology

Ship & Shore Environmental provides industry-leading emission control solutions with its Clean-Tech Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer (RTO). This high-performance system is capable of destroying up to 99% of pollutants, including VOCs using high-temperature oxidation (1500 FO). It not only ensures compliance with local and federal air quality regulations but also offers significant cost reductions in fuel consumption.

Solutions are custom designed to meet each client’s process demands, compliance requirements and budget. New equipment, upgrades or retrofits of existing equipment can also qualify for rebates as well as reduce operating and capital costs significantly and a team of expert engineers offer exceptional expertise and service in designing the most cost-efficient systems.

Here are questions to consider in purchasing, updating and or qualifying for rebates and incentives that could reduce capital costs significantly:

• Are you expanding or purchasing new laminators or presses?
• Are there existing laminators or presses in operation? Are they being replaced?
• Are there existing oxidizers or is there air pollution abatement equipment in use?
• Is there a change or increase in solvent usage or the way it is processed?
• How will new equipment change or improve efficiency?

HOW SHIP & SHORE ASSISTS IN THE REBATE & INCENTIVE PROCESS

• Research if incentives are available for equipment and plant location.
• Assign a project engineer to gather data, equipment specs and consumption.
• Gather current utility consumption data and prepare calculations showing savings of new, more efficient equipment.
• Assist in filling out the application and working with the client and utility company during the entire process to ensure maximum benefit.
