VOC Mitigation Device for CIPP Exhaust
Publication: Pipelines 2020
ABSTRACT
The research presented in this paper seeks to provide the CIPP industry with an option to eliminate the need for a safety perimeter and most personal protective equipment by destroying the VOC emissions at the liner termination point. Such a device would put the user on the leading edge of continually improving air quality and safety efforts in this valuable worldwide industry. This paper investigates VOC emissions in other industries and explores existing mitigation techniques created to meet the unique needs of those industries. Beyond a review of existing technologies, this paper outlines ongoing research at the Louisiana Tech University Trenchless Technology Center in Ruston, Louisiana, to provide the CIPP industry with a basis of design for a VOC mitigation device that will eliminate over 90% of the volatile organic compounds in the CIPP exhaust on the installation site at the termination manhole.
