Blue Smoke Control Introduces X-VOCS™ to Eradicate Odor-Causing Emissions

Blue Smoke Control, a division of Butler-Justice Inc., Anaheim, California, has introduced the X-VOCS™ system for eradicating odor-causing emissions that can be produced as a byproduct during hot-mix asphalt (HMA) production. The X-VOCS system features proprietary carbon absorption technology designed to filter and remove up to 99% of odors and VOCs, such as Hydrogen Sulfide (H₂S), from tanks. X-VOCS incorporates a five-stage filtration system. In the first three stages, a series of filters remove more than 95% of targeted particulates down to 0.3 microns. In the final two stages, carbon filtration beds remove remaining odors and volatiles. While designed for new plants, the X-VOCS system can also be retrofittable into existing operations, with minimal modifications to the plant.

When the X-VOCS technology is coupled with the company’s Blue Smoke Control system, emissions from HMA plants can be reduced to nearly zero, providing owners with the means to achieve the highest level of environmental stewardship. Implementation of this technology has been proven to virtually end calls from nearby neighbors regarding odor and visual emissions. Similar to X-VOCS, the Blue Smoke Control system is retrofittable with few plant modifications.
