About Company

Dust collectors are utilized in processes to recover valuable granular solid, powder from process streams or remove granular solid pollutants from exhaust gases prior to venting to the atmosphere. Dust collection is a process that collects process-generated dust from the source point on a continuous basis. Dust collectors may be of single unit construction, or a collection of devices used to separate particulate matter from the process air. They are often used as an air pollution control device to maintain air quality. Dust collectors can be configured into one of five common types, ambient units, collection booths, downdraft tables, source collector or portable units, and stationary units. Ambient units are free-hanging systems for use when applications limit the use of source-capture arms or ductwork. Collector booths require no ductwork, and allow the worker greater freedom of movement. They are often portable. A downdraft table is a self-contained portable filtration system that removes harmful particulates and returns filtered air back into the facility with no external ventilation required. Portable units are for collecting dust, mist, fumes, or smoke at the source. An example of a stationary collector is a baghouse. Important parameters in specifying dust collectors include airflow, velocity of the air stream created by the vacuum producer, system power, the power of the system motor, usually specified in horsepower; storage capacity for dust and particles, and minimum particle size filtered by the unit. Systems for fines removal may only contain a single filtration system (such as a filter bag or cartridge). However, some dust collection systems utilize a primary and secondary separation / filtration system. Furthermore, some units may have third and fourth stage filtration. All separation and filtration systems used within the unit should be specified. A baghouse is an air pollution abatement device used to trap particulate by filtering air streams through large fabric bags. They are typically made of glass fibers or fabric. A cyclone separator or slant screen separator is an apparatus for the separation of fine particles suspended in air. A dust collection system can incorporate a series of disposable or cleanable pre-filters, a disposable vee-bag or cartridge filter. HEPA or carbon final filter modules can also be added. Various models are available, including free-hanging or ducted installations, vertical or horizontal mounting, and fixed or portable configurations. Filter cartridges are made out of a variety of synthetic fibers and are capable of collecting sub-micronic particles without creating an excessive pressure drop in the system. Filter cartridges require periodic cleaning. A wet scrubber, or Venturi scrubber, is similar to a cyclone but it has an orifice unit that sprays water into the vortex in the cyclone section, collecting all of the dust in a slurry system. The water media can be recirculated and reused to continue to filter the air. Eventually the solids must be removed from the water stream and disposed of.
