Methods of preventing excessive air pollution from factories

 

 

Introduction

            Excessive air pollution from factories is caused by the emissions the factories emit when goods are being processed. The emissions cause air pollution and can be harmful to plants, buildings, human and animal health hence the need of prevention. Some of the main pollutants are liquid, solid, and gaseous.

             The methods of preventing excessive air pollution from factories differ because different factories produce different pollutions depending on whatever item the factory is producing and whatever chemical is being used during the processing.

            Some factories produce smoke when processing and this could be prevented by the use of environmental friendly materials so that even when it is released in the air it is not harmful. Air non thermal plasmas are also used for air pollution prevention. The non-thermal plasma is used in factories to clean dust and air hence preventing the excess air pollution.

            Managing and checking the process being used for production in a factory too can help reduce and control the emissions and keeping the pollutants at a minimal level thus preventing the excessive air pollution.

            Computer applications such as Geographical information systems are also used in managing and controlling the air quality. This application helps in identifying and monitoring of air pollutions and emissions from different sources and also in handling large amounts of data.

           A technique known as Conventional gas chromatography is used to separate and analyze the harmful compounds that are used in factories due to its high resolving power. The gas chromatography has a purifier and a drier which is able to clear vapor and pollutants from samples which makes the method effective for the prevention of excessive air pollution.

Leakages in factories which are as a result of friction, pressure, corrosion and heat could be prevented by proper installation and maintenance of the appropriate equipment, for example rapture discs and the different types of valves.

Oil water effluent systems are used to collect and separate wastes and remove the pollutants before being discharged. The systems control the emissions by properly maintaining, isolating and treating the wastes at their source. Practical Guide to Industrial Safety. (2000). N.P. :Cheremisinoff.

Conclusion

The methods of preventing excessive air pollution from factories would become more effective if the correct equipment is installed and used in the proper way and maintenance done at the right time.
