The Patio Guys

Jun-23-2013 By Barbara Zak

Summertime is filled with lazy days at the beach, lounging around the pool and endless tanning in your backyard. Maybe your favorite part about summer is the water balloon fights. Maybe you love the cook outs.

Regardless of what your favorite summer activity is, the right yard furniture can bring your summer from “okay” to “unbelievable.” Many families have lawn furniture for their backyard or patio. This could be something as simple as a table and chairs or an elaborate set of lounge chairs for tanning and laying out.

Unfortunately, most families do store their furniture during the cold winter months. Sometimes patio furniture can become damaged during storage. Something like a fabric tear or even the start of rust can be disheartening. Homeowners may wonder if they have to buy a new patio set, but this can be very expensive and time consuming. Instead of becoming upset over damaged patio furniture, consider contacting a commercial furniture sales and repair person.

There are a number of companies who work to repair lawn and patio furniture. This not only saves you money, but it saves you from the difficulty of having to pick out and haul home new furniture. Your lawn furniture can quickly be repaired with little cost. You won’t believe how fantastic your furniture looks after it’s been taken care of by the Patio Guys.

Facts on RTO’s

Jun-14-2013 By Barbara Zak

Industrial use of a regenerative thermal oxidizer (RTO) is both economical and versatile. Units can be programmed for various situations, modified as conditions change, and are useable where catalytic oxidizer systems, bioscrubbers, and biofilters are not.

The system works in a three-stage process. First, the hot exhaust passes through a ceramic layer. It takes the heat and uses it to preheat the next chamber. Here, the exhaust is burned up. Then, the now clean gas passes through a cooling ceramic layer that soaks up the heat, and the clean gas is released into the air.

The final stage is a repetition of stages two and three, ensuring that whatever contaminated exhaust still exists is eliminated. The cycle repeats, and the ceramic layers are constantly increased or tweaked, as needed. This secures upwards of 97% heat retrieval. RTOs can run to 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit or higher, which means they can eliminate volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that bioscrubbers and biofilters cannot.

They also remove carbon monoxide, dangerous air pollutants, organic unprocessed substances, and nitrogen oxide. The ceramic media used are thinner, so heat transfer can be done quicker, more often, and with huge exhaust streams. In fact, RTO’s can accommodate both minimal solvent concentrations and exhaust flows at 550,000 SCFM levels. And when exhaust levels can’t be lowered, heat recovery can still remain above 80%. Keeping costs down is simplified by using RTO’s because the system runs on the very heat it generates, while maintaining an excellent scrub rate.
