EmissionWhat are you discharging?
Dust, welding fume, acid mist, solvent vapour, combustion gases, odour?
Industrial air systems

Legislation Changes
New Zealand's Resource Management Act is being replaced. If your operation relies on industrial dust, fume, extraction or air-pollution-control equipment, this is the time to understand what you have, what it was consented under, and what may need attention next.
When consents are reviewed, so is the equipment behind them. A short Vortex review now shows where you stand.
The BE READY Check
Five questions to ask before the Act changes.
Consent or no consent, every industrial discharge sits inside the rules, and new legislation can move the line between permitted and consented activity. These five questions cover the areas worth looking at first.
2
ControlWhat is captured now?
Extraction, scrubbing or filtration at each point of release, and any gaps.
3
ConditionWhich performance factors could be affected?
Discharge levels, capture efficiency, monitoring records, and equipment condition.
4
ComplianceWhat applies to you today?
Consent conditions, permitted activity rules, national air quality standards, and workplace exposure limits.
5
ChangeWhat might apply tomorrow?
New legislation, revised consent conditions, or a change in your own production, materials or capacity.
The same five questions apply when production changes, equipment ages, maintenance gets harder or a consent comes up for review. That is what the BE READY Check is for.
Who you would be talking to
Ten things worth knowing about Vortex.
No claims, just the facts that matter when you are deciding who to call.
Since 1989designing and building industrial air systems
Still here when the new Act takes effect, and for the consent cycle after that.
Design, fabrication, installation, commissioning and servicing, under one group.
The people who look at your system are the people who would build the change, so they know what each answer costs.
Dust collection and extraction
Fume and process air
Scrubbers and gas treatment
Stacks, ducting and discharge
Upgrades and capacity
Design, cutting and fabrication in house.
The drawings, the plate and the finished system come out of the same group, so nothing is lost between them.
One group, two countries.
Vortex, Fowlerex, Taurus and Taylors, operating across New Zealand and Australia.
200+projects delivered
Worldwide, most of them in New Zealand and Australia, on sites that are still operating today.
The industries we already work in.
Chemical and energy, agriculture and food, manufacturing, recycling and material handling, and specialist applications.

Engineers, not resellers.
Our own engineers design every system.
We service what we didn't build.
Existing plant from any supplier is where most reviews start.
The first conversation is free, and ends with something in writing.
On the phone or on site. You get a short written note of what we saw and what, if anything, we would look at next. No project, no proposal, unless you ask for one.
We read the engineering side.
Legal and consent advice stays with your advisors and the council. That is why the rest of this list is believable.

Vortex Engineering provides engineering and technical support. Requirements vary by activity, location and consent, and the replacement legislation is not yet in force. This page is general information, not legal or regulatory advice.
