The particles released by welding, gouging, or grinding may contain harmful metals and alloys. If these particles are released into the plant environment they may be hazardous to people working in the area. They can cause illness by being inhaled or contaminating food and drinking water. They will eventually settle out and contaminate stormwater or soil.
The Benefits of Industrial Dust Collection Systems
Industrial dust collection systems can reduce the quantity of toxic material released by 99%. The collected particles can be easily removed from the collector for recycling or disposal. Although most industrial dust collection systems are too large to be trucked once assembled, the company has portable dust collection systems that can be unloaded and set up in less than an hour.
Like all good industrial dust collection Solutions, their filters can be cleaned without interrupting system airflow. The filters seldom require replacement during a turnaround. These systems are fully compatible with company fans and ducts.
Do Air Conditioning Filters Make Good Industrial Dust Collection Systems?
In theory, air conditioning filters or wet scrubbers can capture these particles. The drawback is that the filters fill up quickly and must be replaced often. The system must be taken offline, and the people handling the filters must wear protective gear while they work.
When dust collection systems are not used, the volume of toxic waste is greater, and this increases costs.
Wet Scrubbing Systems
Wet scrubbing systems discharge polluted water, and are less efficient at removing toxic particles than dust collection systems. Claims of high particle removal efficiency for wet scrubbing systems should be viewed with skepticism. Safe disposal of polluted water from wet scrubbers is a challenge.
Importance of Industrial Dust Collection Systems
There are several benefits to utilizing Industrial Dust Collection Systems, including:
- Protection for workers from the effects of air pollution in the forms of dust, fumes, and mists.
- Facilities that are maintained to meet government regulations on safety, health, and pollution.
- Protection of the local environment from pollutants generated by manufacturing processes.
- Preventing explosions by using explosion-resistant equipment when working with combustible dust.
- Attenuation of excessive noise is either achieved through personnel hearing protection or by adhering to sound levels at the property line.
They are also prone to plugging with collected material. we do not offer wet scrubbing systems.
