Area Dust Control involves using water droplets to agglomerate with dust particles, causing them to become too heavy to remain suspended in the air. The size of the water droplets is crucial, as they should be 1 to 5 times the size of the dust particles for optimal dust removal. Droplets that are too small will not effectively agglomerate with the dust, while droplets that are too large create an air barrier that prevents direct contact with the dust. XIN HOU can provide guidance on droplet size distributions to help select the appropriate nozzle and operating parameters.
Conveyor And Transfer Point Dust Control is necessary when moving materials like crushed stone, coal, or sand, as it creates a dust cloud. This can be mitigated by spraying water as a fine mist or fog. The water adheres to the minerals or aggregates, preventing dust generation or suppressing dust clouds. This is important for preventing dust explosions and ensuring safety in processing plants and power generation facilities. Complete coverage and distribution of the sprayed water is crucial for effective dust control, although over-spray should be minimized to avoid wasting resources and buildup on equipment. Surfactants or foaming chemicals may be added to help the water cover and penetrate the material on the conveyor.
