Solving Your Ventilation System Problems

Even the best-designed Air Pollution Control systems can experience performance issues over time. At IVT Engineering, we specialize in diagnosing and solving these problems, ensuring your systems operate efficiently and reliably. We offer complete inspection and troubleshooting services to identify the root cause of your system's issues, whether they are related to maintenance or original design.

Common Maintenance Problems

Many system issues arise from changes in your operational environment.

• Increased Production: Modifications to manufacturing processes often lead to increased air volume requirements, overloading a system that was not designed for the new demand.
• System Modifications: Adding new ventilation points or making other changes without proper planning can create an imbalance, straining the entire system.
• Neglected Dust Control: When production changes are made without considering the impact on dust control, airborne dust levels can become noticeable or intolerable.

Common Design Problems

Some issues are inherent in the system's original design.

• Poor Ductwork: Incorrectly designed branch entries, elbows, or size variations can restrict airflow and cause accelerated wear.
• Improper Hoods: Poorly designed hoods can increase dust loading beyond the collector's original capacity.
• Ineffective Dust Collector Inlets: Standard Dust Collector designs with inlet duct collars in the hopper can cause material to be re-entrained into the filter area.
• Undersized or Oversized Equipment: An incorrectly sized Dust Collector and/or Fan will not perform efficiently.

Our Solutions: Evaluation, Retrofitting, and Upgrading

Our comprehensive services are designed to bring your existing systems back to a state-of-the-art condition.

• Detailed Inspection & Reporting: We provide a thorough engineering report that outlines the problem, explains the cause, and recommends solutions. Our reports include estimated budget costs, helping you plan for remedial action, budgets, and work schedules.
• Refurbishing & Upgrading: We can retrofit and overhaul your existing system to increase its efficiency, reduce maintenance, and lower operating costs.  You may not be getting the full value out of the equipment you already have, and we can help you unlock its potential.

Let us help you restore your system's performance and ensure a cleaner, safer, and more efficient working environment.
