Engart Solutions For Difficult Dust Control Problems

Dust generated in process operations at power plants, mining companies, steel mills and other heavy industrial facilities is often a problem requiring attention. Baghouse collectors used to remove dust captured with exhaust hoods and ductwork can experience difficulties such as:

 •  Fire and explosion risk
 •  Blinding or plugging of bags
 •  Difficulty in handling high temperature operation
 •  High maintenance cost
 •  Filter bag leaks and bag replacement costs
 •  Maintenance of airlocks and conveyors
 •  Confined entry permit required for servicing
 •  Discharged dust causing downline issues

Turnkey Design Expertise

Engart engineers work with you to evaluate and solve your unique fugitive dust control problem. Dust sources are studied to determine where exhaust hoods can be used to contain and capture dust emissions. Equipment locations are determined along with effective ductwork routing. Detail 3D CAD design models are prepared for review followed by fabrication drawings.

Efficient Solutions from Engart

High Dust Control Efficiency

Engart Dust Extractors operate with water to capture and remove dust to a sump discharge for downstream disposal or recycling. In independent testing on PRB coal dust, Engart wet dust extractors were rated at 99.7% dust removal efficiency. That is why Engart Dust Extraction Technology™ received BACT approval as “Best Available Control Technology” for air pollution control systems in difficult conditions.

High Moisture or Temperature Conditions

Engart Dust Extractors use water to remove captured dust from the incoming air. Conditions of high moisture or heat are easily handled.

Fire and Explosion Risk

Explosive dust conditions are inherent with many dusts such as coal dust. Dry dust collectors such as baghouses are subject to both fire and explosion risk as shown in the photo (above) of a test explosion at the US Bureau of Mines. Since water is used to scrub the incoming air, Engart dust extractors eliminate this explosion hazard as soon as the coal dust is wetted.
