System Integration
Material Handling
We take a comprehensive view of issues pertaining to material transport that extend beyond individual unit operations. Our expertise designing material handling, raw material through product packaging, ensures best functionality, maximizes throughput, minimizes scrap and maintains consistent product quality. Harper offers a variety of feeding and material handling solutions, including creel stations, winders, drive stands, and material conditioning such as combs, moistener, spreader bars, bypass rollers, and centering roll systems, designing the ideal solution for your unique processing needs.
Pre and Post Treatment and Material Conditioning
Harper engineers bring a wealth of experience in pre- and post-treatment and material conditioning using a variety of solutions. Whether traditional or emerging methods – chemical, electrochemical, plasma, or gaseous treatments – we work with your process to ensure thoughtful management of chemical preparation and minimization and treatment of the effluent solutions from the conditioning. Harper aims to design technologies that integrate seamlessly into the line and deliver on desired technical and business objectives.
Gas Treatment and Handling
Harper approaches gas treatment and handling with several objectives. Not only do our off-gas treatment systems focus on managing emissions in an environmentally conscious manner, but we also carefully consider opportunities for energy recovery for use within the process.
Harper’s expertise in optimizing interconnect of thermal units to a number of gas treatment technologies includes:
- Direct fired thermal oxidizers
- Regenerative thermal oxidizers
- Flares
- Wet and dry scrubbers
- Hot gas and dust filtration
- Heat exchangers
- Condensers
- Hydrogen recycling
Fully Integrated Controls
From first point of engagement, Harper carefully designs a production plant with rigorous detail and thoughtful consideration of how the facility will be operated. Our controls group develops a sequence of operations (SOP’s) that drive simultaneously toward efficiency, and enhanced product quality. Our fully integrated systems connect all process equipment to one centralized control system, ensuring operation is that of a cooperative plant all functioning on the same control platform.
