Is dust becoming a problem for your mill or plant? With too much dust there are several risks you face:
- Air quality for employees is reduced.
- Dust can gather on equipment making for more maintenance.
- The risk of fire is greatly increased.
If you are looking for a cost effective solution to your dust problem, look no further than BEP. We supply and install high quality Agglomerative Dust Suppression systems that are made to work for your unique situation.
The way that our system works is through the use of four elements:
- Containment – The dust source must be contained or sealed to isolate the dust and fog from outside influences.
- Application of Fog – A fog based system collects dust by the agglomeration (coming together) of airborne water droplets of like size.
- Retention Time – Time is a large factor because dust particles must collide with water droplets several times to grow large enough to settle or attach to a surface; collisions and agglomeration are a matter of probability through time.
- Collection Surface – This describes any surface within the containment onto which wetted dust attaches itself upon impact.
The benefits of the ADS Dust System:
- BEST AVAILABLE CONTROL TECHNOLOGY (BACT)
ADS is considered by Environmental Regulatory Agencies of most states to be a BACT and has passed state and federal compliance tests as such in several applications.
- BROAD RANGE OF APPLICATIONS
ADS can be applied to truck/railcar dumps, transfers, feeders, stockpiles, and many other types of applications such that may not be suited to ventilation systems.
- SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE
ADS systems perform a superior job of dust control, compared to other technologies, on most types of applications including transfer paints, crushers, and screens.
- NO WETTING OF PRODUCT
ADS systems add less than 1% moisture to the flow of product and can be safely used on most all materials including sensitive materials such as petroleum coke, grain, cement, and lime.
- NO FREEZE PROBLEMS
ADS systems are designed to prevent equipment freezing problems and cold weather does not effect performance because the fog generated by our FP nozzles will not freeze at temperatures as low as -35 deg F
- NO DRY OR WET COLLECTOR DISCHARGE TO HANDLE
The ADS system is an in-situ agglomerative collector that returns the dust collected to the product flow and binds it to larger particles to reduce downstream dusting. There is no secondary problem of dry or wet dust handling.
- LOWER COST
The ADS system costs less than ventilation systems – – to buy, install, and operate
