In November 2000 FKI secured an order for the product recovery and air pollution control equipment on two stationary fluid bed PVC powder drying systems. The equipment purchased was supplied for expansions at facilities in both Louisiana and Texas. XQ series cyclones capture the bulk of the solids while MS venturi scrubbers meet the stringent emission requirements. The corrosive process required that all product contact surfaces be fabricated of 317L stainless steel.

The dual arrangement cyclones were highly polished and dimple jacketed in an effort to prevent condensation, buildup and plugging. A unique manufacturing process was employed to ensure a very competitive yet profitable project. Flat plate was sent to the Paul Mueller Company (PMC) where thin sheet was resistance welded in strategic locations to backing plate. This double layer plate was cut, formed, fit-up, and welded into cyclones. The cyclones were then sent back to PMC so that the thin sheet could be pressured and inflated to form the dimples.

Our compact scrubbers each included a horizontal venturi section, integral recirculation tank, flow straightener, top mounted exhaust stack and access steel.

Design Conditions (Per System): 74,660 ACFM @ 134 ˚F 12,828 lb/hr dust loading Warranty < 0.5 lb/hr emissions @< 24” H2O ΔP375 GPM water rate
