Braby helps cut down emissions
Braby has created a brand new stand-alone storage and dosing system which helps companies where material dosing is necessary to meet the Government's new Waste Incineration Directive (WID)
Braby, the UK's leading manufacturer of aluminium and stainless steel silos and storage tanks, has created a brand new stand-alone storage and dosing system which helps companies where material dosing is necessary, meet the Government's new Waste Incineration Directive (WID) The aim of the WID is to cut down the effect that the emissions from the incineration and co-incineration of waste have on the environment and human health, and Braby has been working hard to create a standard system to do just that

Braby Sales and Marketing Director Paul Mayer explains:"We were asked by a customer to help them design and manufacture a system that would cut their emissions.
We designed a package suitable for dosing sodium bicarbonate, which either delivers pre-set quantities of product or works automatically from the gas monitoring equipment within the stack or bag-house; this in turn reduces the amount of waste going into the atmosphere.
Each dosing system consisted of big bag holding vessels and each vessel was skid-mounted with an integral access ladder and platform, blower, rotary valve and control panel.
The whole package, installed in a day, is then ready to start reducing gas emissions".
Braby decided on a skid-mounted arrangement so as much work as possible could be carried out at the Bristol-based factory before delivery to the customer site, making site installation easier and quicker.
The system is adapted for use across a number of materials commonly used in waste gas reduction.
"We have a number of customers who are looking for new systems, unique to them, which allow them to meet the WID.
We look at each individual case, and using the same basic principles of a dosing system, we can come up with a suitable package based on the same standard design.
We have applied sound engineering principles, coupled with our experience of material storage and handling, to create this solution.
The first WID-conforming system we created was certainly a milestone, but it proved to be the perfect solution to this customer's emissions problems, which is why many other companies, who need to make sure they are complying with Government regulations, are now coming to us.".
