Petrochemical Manufacturing Ducting

Petrochemical manufacturing produces plastics, rubbers, adhesives, resins, dyes, and synthetic fibers. During grinding, reforming, and other processes, emissions enter the airstream. Emissions can also escape from pumps, valves, flanges, storage tanks, and loading/unloading operations—some contaminants are known carcinogens or toxins.

Emissions volume depends on climate, material handling, and processing. Solid waste and sludge can be hazardous due to toxic organics and heavy metals. To keep emissions below acceptable limits, source capture equipment like fume extractors and ductwork is essential.

Ducting acts like the hose and wand that draws emissions away to the collector, where dust is filtered and clean air is returned to the plant or exhausted safely outside.

Because petrochemical plants are large and complex, they require durable, accessible, and maintainable duct systems. Nordfab^® Quick-Fit^® Ducting features rolled edges and simple clamps—no rivets, screws, or special tools needed.

Nordfab^® QF Ducting offers one of the lowest life-cycle costs of any ducting product because it’s easy to uninstall, relocate, and integrate with existing systems to improve effectiveness and prevent leaks.
