Chimneys

1. Description: A structure designed and built to release into the atmosphere gases resulting from combustion, chemical reaction or extraction and cleaning of gases from the air. Over these ducts, sampling ports are installed to monitor the emissions that are released into the atmosphere. In Mexico this is based on the NMX-AA-009-1993-SCFI regulation.

2. Ranges of design: the dimensions of a chimney are based on the following variables:

     a. Flow

     b. Speed of fluid within the duct

     c. Diameter of the duct (Ø)

As the diameter is mandatory, the maximum height of the chimney and the location of sampling ports must be determined according to the diameter of the chimney and based on the NMX-AA-009-1993-SCFI regulation.

Main building materials are thermoplastics such as PP, PE, PVC, FRP, among others, which guarantees excellent resistance in chemically aggressive environments.

Lapsolite manufactures chimneys from 200 mm up to 2400 mm in diameter using different types of materials and taking into account the temperature and characteristics of gas components to be discharged.

3. Applications: Industrial factories (metallurgical, chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, etc.) shopping centers, hospitals.

4. Benefits:

     a. To ensure that the dilution of gases that will be sent into the atmosphere is carried out at a height where the surrounding society will not be affected.
