Dust in a work environment can be a critical concern for employee safety, working conditions and even in maintaining optimal environments for equipment use. Any type of industrial or production setting where dust particles are produced is a good candidate for dust control systems.
Dust Control Systems Basic Operation
In the most basic form, dust control systems, also known as dust suppression systems, are used to capture the dust particles and remove them from the air. This is typically done with a fine mist of water sprayed towards the source of the dust.
As the dust is produced, the water, which is in the form of 10 micron droplets, traps the dust particles. These very tiny droplets, which resemble an extremely light fog, and pull the dust down to the ground, preventing it from moving beyond a very limited area.
This mist is produced under high pressure, creating a uniform size of droplet to trap even the finest in dust particles. These systems can be highly effective in trapping dust particles and other materials in the air as small as 0.1 microns to a large as 1000 microns.
This process keeps the dust away from air ventilation and circulation systems. These dust control systems, since they are using only water, do not cause any possible contamination or risk to anyone in the area. In fact, the use of these systems in conjunction with correct facility ventilation can create a healthier environment and reduce the risk of respiratory problems including allergies and asthma for employees.
Designing a System
As a building owner or manager, working with a company to design dust control systems specific to your needs is a benefit. There are some companies offering this design feature, which ensures you will have the coverage and appropriate system in the given the area of dust production and for the type of materials you wish to remove from the air.
It is also essential in most environments to control for humidity in the air. This is why a custom designed system specific for your space and dust control needs is so critical. With professional installation of the dust control systems you can be assured the system will be effective, efficient and set up for optimum efficiency.
Top companies will provide customized solutions for all your dust control needs. These dust control systems are an investment in air quality and working conditions in any environment.
