Air/Dust Separation
RTS Inertial Spin Filters provide an effective maintenance free solution to dust problems in MCC Rooms, Transformer Rooms, Control Rooms, etc. The filtration principle is based on highly efficient cyclone technology and dust arrestance is 98% of 15µm and larger particles. At 5μm the modules will remove 80% of dust by particle count. (Note: 10μm is 1/6 of the average diameter of a human hair.) Even under heavy dust loads this represents overall removal efficiency of >98% of dust loading by mass. For applications requiring even finer dust arrestance (Compressor intakes for instance) secondary filtration is required. (99% of 2μm). In this situation simple secondary pocket filters are cost effective and, due to the fact that they are only capturing very fine particles, they require very little attention, even in high dust load applications.
When using RTS Inertial Spin Filters to clean air for MCC rooms, variable speed drives, control rooms, etc. no secondary filtration is required. This eliminates the need for expensive, complex, high maintenance bag houses. RTS Inertial Spin Filters can be purpose designed for specific applications. There is no theoretical limit to the volume of air/dust that Spin Filter installations can be designed for. Due to the constant pressure drop and absence of secondary process air or other energy absorbing equipment the Spin Filter installation is also energy efficient.
The Spin Modules are made from high density polypropylene and are highly resistant to wear. Modules supplied by RTS have been in service for over 20 years. Because the system is self-purging there is no filter element that can become blocked from dust overload.
Sizing of units is based on the principle that the room/space should be pressurised. (About 50 - 100Pa is normal). This ensures that all air flow is outwards – thus preventing dust entering through gaps in cladding, under doors etc. Sizing of the units is based on an analysis of the equipment in the room space. For well-sealed rooms with little heat generation – as few as 10 air changes/hr can be sufficient. However, if there is heat generating equipment installed in the space, then a higher number of air changes is recommended.

Hydrogen Monitoring and Leak Detection
H2scan provides hydrogen specific monitoring solutions that are uniquely able to detect and measure hydrogen against virtually any background gasses, without false readings. Products include, handheld portable leak-detection units, fixed area leak-detection monitors and in-line real time monitors for various process gas streams.
Boiler Tube Leak Detection
Procon – Lintvalve leak detection systems are designed to detect a steam leak the moment it begins. The early detection of a tube leak will give financial savings which will easily exceed the initial capital cost of the system. The benefits of early leak detection include increased operating profit by reducing financial penalties, avoiding unscheduled outages, reducing secondary damage and increased personnel safety.
Gas and Trace Gas Analysis
Neo Monitors offer state-of-the-art LaserGas analysers suitable for a wide range of applications. These instruments offer non-intrusive stable analysis for all gas streams with particular reference to flue gasses and open path measurements.
Gas Purification
Anco Catalysts provides catalytic gas purification systems and media. Features offered include gas purities to one part per billion, no moving parts, five to ten years catalyst life.
