In environments with high dust levels, how can dust removal be improved
Thread Content
There is a lot of dust in our workplace. Although there are dust removal devices such as ducts and axial flow fans, their effect is not significant. Even after we carry out a cleaning and maintain the cleanliness for 2-3 days or even less, dust will still accumulate on the equipment, walls, windows, glass, pipes, and other surfaces. I wonder if other companies have better methods for protecting the environment
There are two possible explanations for this situation: 1. The dust collection issue at the dust generation points isn’t completely resolved; it’s possible that dust is still escaping from certain areas. In addition to installing exhaust hoods at those points, it’s important to maintain a negative pressure inside the equipment. 2. In addition to organized dust generation points, there may also be unorganized dust emissions. If it is unorganized, it is difficult to resolve.
Main sources of dust: 1. Proximity to vehicle pump systems and a high volume of vehicles – solution: misting. 2. Proximity to coal transport belt corridors. 3. Generation of large amounts of dust due to work activities at the respective work sites – dust removal pipes, axial flow fans. However, these measures still cannot resolve the environmental issues; they fail to maintain cleanliness
What you’re saying is too general. You haven’t explained how the dust is generated; you only mentioned that it’s close to this or that place. It isn’t clear whether the dust comes from outside or is generated at the work site itself. If it comes from outside, don’t you say there are windows? Just close the windows and doors, and the problem with indoor ventilation will be resolved. Outside air is delivered into the room through fans and ducts; before it enters, an air filtration device can be used. If it is dust generated internally, controlling the source of the dust is sufficient.
It is best to use a suction hood to enclose the dust source and maintain a negative pressure inside the equipment
You’ve put it quite generally, but to solve this problem, it’s necessary to approach it from two aspects: First, controlling it at the source is the fundamental solution. Improving processes and equipment to reduce dust pollution is the fundamental solution. Second: Install more advanced dust removal equipment indoors to improve the working environment.
The equipment and facilities in China are of poor quality, and the standards are not strict either; in China, waste is discharged directly through filters, while abroad, it is required to go through a furnace first. . . . It’s common to see the outsourced workers at plastic processing units, all looking grimy and disheveled. . . . . .
Have you considered a micron-level atomization system? Have you thought about using a sprayer to reduce dust in cases of large amounts of dust? It can be considered appropriately.
