The afterburner was needed to filter the smoke to keep it from escaping into the environment. With Ionsmoke, the afterburner for the smoke systems no longer has to run, since Ionsmoke filters the smoke. After three months of using Ionsmoke, we received the bill and the new, significantly lower natural gas consumption. 4 plants are in operation.
Calculation example based on measurements from Alaska Seafood:
Ø Natural gas consumption per month: 12’000 m3
Ø Natural gas consumption per year: 144’000 m3 (5085 MCF)
CO2 reduction per year*, 4 systems: 279.00 t
CO2 reduction per year*, 1 system: 69.75 t
With the use of Ionsmoke, 69.75 tons of CO2 are saved per system. This corresponds to the forest area marked above with 420 trees**.
*acc. EPA calculation
** Assumption: 6 grown trees store 1 t of CO2
