Hot asphalt emits low density hydrocarbons which create a visible plume when they come into contact with cooler air. The resulting blue smoke, which contains submicron and larger liquid mist particles, can pose a health hazard, affect equipment and cause unpleasant odors if not cleaned with a suitable mist eliminator. MECS® has engineered a Brink® asphalt vent mist eliminator package that has proven successful in controlling particulate emissions for asphalt tank vent applications since 1972.
