they are asking for a P.O. number,” the customer said. “If there is a problem, they want to rectify it and move for- ward. You do not have to wait weeks for somebody to come in. ERS becomes your partner.” ERS worked with a major integrated and their consult- ing firm specializing in fire protection engineering to en- sure that the filter met all OSHA and NFPA requirements
“We set it all up in a weekend and started it up on Mon- day morning,” the satisfied customer said. Safety Is Paramount ERS designed the CCM® OCT filter so that it can be kept safely indoors in a dry environment anywhere in the plant. Since it is not boxed in, the conditions for explosion are not present. Explosion vents, high-speed abort gates and expensive fire protection systems are not needed, and if the filter were to catch fire, the sprinkler system would extinguish the fire and the damage would be minimal. Be- cause of its wide-open design, the only thing that would burn is the filter media itself. The media would simply be replaced, and production would continue. The CCM® OCT filter can also be safely inspected from the ground without ladders or cranes. Unlike traditional fil- ters, you can see inside the unit and monitor it while it is running much like a see-through filter on a vacuum clean- er. “All you have to do is walk by and you can tell if it’s working,” the customer said. “If there is a problem, you can see it right away. Whereas with a baghouse you have got no idea what is going on inside of it.” Listening to customer feedback played a significant role in improvements that were made to the filter as it was being developed. “ERS will come right in and take care of it. It is not like
for non-explosives. Several standard designs resulted from this and the filter was fine-tuned to be compliant with all industry standards and local codes moving forward. ERS further refined the system so that companies can change out the filter media in-house and have it back in service within minutes resulting in minimal disruption. No
