Dust suppression
A major application of high pressure misting
In the industrial and building and public works sectors, dust suppression responds to technical and budgetary production constraints as well as to the prevention and reduction of professional and health risks.
Demolition, public works and quarries
The purpose of using a mobile atomizer of the cannon type or of a fixed high-pressure misting system will be to prevent the dust from flying away or to bring down to the ground the dust already suspended in the air.
The dust suppression technique recognized and often recommended in various fields
Industry:
- Recycling and waste treatment
- Extraction of materials and minerals, sieving lines
- Glass, wood, plastic, heavy materials, chemicals…
- Automotive, aeronautics, rail
- Capital goods and production
- Food
BTP:
- Asbestos
- Demolition works
- Pavement repair
- Climate and energy engineering
This list is not exhaustive because this application can answer many problems in multiple sectors.
Why control dust?
- Ensure continued compliance with existing health regulations.
- Prevent and / or reduce the risk of dust explosion or fire.
- Increase visibility and reduce the likelihood of accidents.
- Reduce cleaning and maintenance costs.
- Reduce wear on equipment, in particular for components such as bearings and pulleys on which fine dust can cause wear by "grinding" (effect of increasing the abrasion rate).
- Increase workplace comfort and productivity.
BTP: Asbestos removal, demolition, repair of roads, site rehabilitation…
QUARRIES: Sand pits, cement works, sieving lines, extraction of materials and minerals
Goals:
- Optimizing the rate of productivity and profitability
- Decrease the reject rate
- Save energy
- Meet QHSE regulatory constraints
- Improve working conditions
