Baghouse.com Announces the Launch of its New Website

Announcing the launch of the new Baghouse.com, the online home for the most trusted name in dust collection.

To further cement its place as the leading online source of information regarding the dust collection industry, Baghouse.com has launched a completely redesigned version of its website http://www.baghouse.com. With many new and improved features, Baghouse.com is looking to increase its already substantial online presence.

With a completely redesigned look, the new site presents clean and efficient visual experience for new and returning visitors. New sections such as Products, and Services give users an opportunity to browse Baghouse.com’s extensive catalog of products with thorough descriptions of each item. You can also view information on the wide ranges of Baghouse services that they offer as well. The feature that is gaining the most attention however, is the entirely new, first of its kind, Dust Collection Blog.

With the new Blog the creative team at Baghouse.com is looking to establish itself as the leading source of industrial dust collection information. This new section contains articles relating to dust collector selection, design, maintenance, performance, efficiency as well as industry news and trends, environmental technologies, emissions regulation & compliance, safety, and more.

When asked why Baghouse.com decided to expand their operations in this way, Dominick DalSanto, Baghouse.com’s online operations & marketing executive commented: “We feel that we are filling a void in our industry by launching this new feature of our website. We are part of a global industry that is integral to almost every single industry process currently employed. It would make sense that in such a large, and critically important industry as ours, that you would be able to find a wealth of information online or in print regarding these systems. The truth however is that already after only 1 month of producing content, our site already has more dust collection related news, articles, product reviews, and case studies, than most of our competitors websites combined. In time we expect that our online resources will grow to be an invaluable assist for not only our customers, but also plant managers, maintenance workers, sales associates, and other industry professionals.”

While attention is being given to its news, articles, and other media, Baghouse.com maintains that its main focus is still offering the very best in dust collection equipment, and service work.

EPA Prevented The Release Of 11.8 Billion Pounds Of Hazarous Waste In 2010

WASHINGTON D.C.  - In a recent year end report detailing annual enforcement and compliance results, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) through enforcement of regulation, and compliance actions forced polluters to pay more than $110 million in civil penalties and commit to spend an estimated $12 billion on pollution controls, cleanup, and environmental projects that benefit communities. The total accumulated effect of all enforcement, and subsequent reductions in emissions due to infrastructure improvements is expected to prevent the release of nearly 1.4 Billion pounds.

California Diesel Regs Cut Black Carbon Soot in Half, Shows the World How to Reap Big Benefits for Health and Climate

Washington, D.C., December 15, 2010 – Cleaner air and significant climate benefits are the result of California laws implemented two decades ago to reduce soot pollution from diesel trucks, according to a new paper published yesterday in Atmospheric Environment. Dirty diesel-burning vehicles are normally guilty of polluting the air with black carbon soot, dark-colored particles that kill and cripple, and cause climate change.

“A leading cause of respiratory diseases, soot is responsible for some 1.9 million deaths a year,” notes paper co-author, Professor V. Ramanathan, in a recent opinion piece published in the New York Times. California’s regulations have cut black carbon emissions from the state in half, providing a direct positive effect on local and regional air quality.

Black carbon is a formidable climate warming agent, estimated to be the second or third greatest contributor to global warming.  While in the atmosphere, the dark particles absorb heat and contribute to global temperature rise.  After a few days to a few weeks, the dark particles fall out of the atmosphere and can settle on snow and ice where they darken the surface and absorb more heat, leading to accelerated melting.

“As this study shows, the technology already exists to solve the black carbon problem,” said Durwood Zaelke, President of the Institute for Governance & Sustainable Development. “Because black carbon is short-lived in the atmosphere, reducing it provides fast benefits for public health and climate change.”

In addition to improving diesel vehicles, cleaner burning cook stoves can reduce black carbon in countries such as India, China, and much of Africa. Prof. Ramanathan, along with his daughter, Nithya Ramanathan, both at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California, San Diego, launched Project Surya several years ago to bring improved cookstoves to Indian villages. The Project Surya team works with local women to collect data on black carbon by providing them with cell phones to take photos of black carbon filters.

“We know how to cut black carbon; we have the solutions,” added Zaelke. “Getting rid of black carbon can avoid millions of deaths and incapacitating injuries a year.  Whether you view the issue from a public health or climate change perspective – we need to take fast action now to cut black carbon.”

10 Ways The EPA Has Changed America For The Better

New Rules On Safe Carbon Capture & Storage Technology Issued By EPA

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has finalized a new set of regulations aimed at maintaining the environmentally safe operation of Carbon Dioxide capture and storage technologies. CCS technologies allow for the large stationary emitters of CO2 such as coal burning power plants, to collect large amounts of Carbon emissions created during the course of burning fossil fuels, and sequester them underground in large geologic formations.

These two new rules deal with the potential effects of CCS operations on drinking water reserves, and for methods of tracking the amount of Carbon these facilities are sequestering underground. Ground water resources are now protected by a new class of injection well termed Class VI under the EPA’s Underground Injection Control (UIC) Program. It ensures that potential sequestion sites are located properly, constructed, tested, monitored, and closed. The second new regulation deals with the way that EPA tracks Carbon sequestering with regard to its greenhouse emissions tracking program.

The new rules are part of a larger effort by the Obama administration to overcoming the barriers to the widespread, cost-effective deployment of CCS technologies within the next 10 years. EPA chief Linda Jackson is quoted as saying: “Today the Obama Administration reaffirmed its commitment to leading the way in the clean energy future.  We’re taking a major step towards path breaking innovations that will reduce greenhouse gases and put America in the forefront of the clean energy economy,”
