Description:
The report gives results of a study evaluating the Polyad fluidized-bed (FB) process for controlling styrene emissions at a representative fiberglass shower stall and bath tub manufacturing plan*t. he process was evaluated using a transport able unit supplied by Weatherly, Inc., of Atlanta, GA, responsible for domestic marketing and sale of the process. he evaluation was carried out November 3-5, 1992, at the Eljer Plumbingware facility in Wilson, NC. he Polyad FB process uses beds of macroporous polymer particles as a regenerable adsorbent to capture styrene emissions. he source tested was a gel coat spray booth exhaust. ide stream from the source was routed to the pilot unit, and inlet and outlet styrene concentrations were measured using Total Hydrocarbon Analyzers (THCS) and carbon adsorption tubes (EPA Method 18). he process demonstrated the capabilities of removing from 94 to 99% of the styrene emissions.
