In most industrial facilities, a poorly designed ventilation system costs you money and comfort. In a food or beverage facility, it can cost you a product recall, a failed regulatory inspection, or a public health incident. The air inside a food processing plant is not just an environmental concern for workers. It is an active …

Recently, safety inspectors identified a potential hydrogen sulfide emission problem on board an offshore drilling vessel. When they threatened to halt operations, our customer faced an urgent regulatory and safety crisis. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is acutely hazardous at relatively low concentrations and unacceptable emissions from tank vents left the vessel at risk of shutdown — …

Industrial fans are used in industries such as manufacturing plants, warehouses, HVAC systems, data centers, and processing facilities. They move air for cooling, ventilation, dust extraction, heat removal, and countless industrial processes. Because they are so common, fans are often treated as simple components—select one that seems powerful enough, install it, and move on. In …
