Eliminating fumes from a casting plant
casting plant fume elimination Synergetics was asked to provide engineering recommendations to achieve 99% capture efficiency for fume emissions from an iron scrap melting, alloying and casting facility. On-site measurements and observations were carefully recorded and the data analysed to characterize the emissions from the melting furnaces, transfer and charging operations. These data were used as the basis for creation of the virtual environment for computational fluid dynamics modeling of these processes and assessment of hooding options. Following modelling, preferred options were selected in consultation with the client to meet management and production objectives. These options were implemented and achieved the objective of 99% fume capture efficiency.
