Astec Industries has enhanced its Fiberbed Mist Collector with charcoal filters. The integration of charcoal filters into this industry-leading technology significantly improves its ability to capture and eliminate odor-causing compounds, providing unparalleled air quality and community satisfaction for asphalt facilities.
The Fiberbed Mist Collector is already the best available technology for capturing and cleaning volatile organic compounds (VOCs) like blue smoke generated during silo or loadout operations. The addition of charcoal filters now offers an even more comprehensive approach to odor control. By trapping and neutralizing odor-causing compounds, the charcoal filters dramatically reduce detectable odors emanating from the facility, fostering a more pleasant work environment and strengthening community relations.
“We are dedicated to providing our customers with innovative solutions that address their environmental challenges,” said Catherine Sutton-Choate, Director of Environmental Compliance at Astec Industries. “The integration of charcoal filters into our Fiberbed Mist Collector is a prime example of our commitment to innovation and our customers’ success.”
Blue smoke, caused by the condensation of asphalt fumes, has long been a source of concern for asphalt facilities. Astec’s Blue Smoke System, which includes the Fiberbed Mist Collector, effectively controls emission opacity by limiting the escape of vaporized asphalt fumes into the atmosphere. The addition of charcoal filters takes odor control to the next level, providing a powerful tool for facilities seeking to minimize environmental impact and enhance their reputation.
This enhancement underscores Astec Industries’ ongoing commitment to providing environmentally responsible solutions for the asphalt industry. By offering a comprehensive approach to odor control, the Fiberbed Mist Collector with charcoal filters helps facilities meet regulatory requirements and create a more positive impact on their communities.
