particulate generator Applications

Sampling dust and particulate matter is important as dust and particulate matter can affect the health of human populations, as well as the natural environment. Dust and particulate matter can cause respiratory problems when breathed in by humans. Dust and particulates above 10 micrometer (PM10) are filtered and generally do not enter the lungs.

The correct functioning of HEPA filters is normally tested at the time of installation, as well as part of the routine maintenance programme. It is normally recommended that HEPA filters are checked at 14 month intervals or less, or immediately after filter changing. Where high efficiency filters are fitted, it is vital that the filter housing/sealing device does not allow particulate material to pass and thereby compromise the clean room environment that is being served. Testing is necessary since HEPA filters can become partially or totally blocked, rendering the filter of little value.

One-time, on-site final destruction of particulates. This is the key benefit gained from an Anguil solution to the emissions generated by the rubber curing process. Other advantages of an Anguil solution include the elimination of visible blue haze, guaranteed destruction efficiency compliance, and the elimination of costly mechanical filtration media and the lingering liability issue associated with filter disposal.

Hydrometallurgical extraction of metals such as Nickel and Cobalt generate emissions of lethal gases such as Hydrogen Sulphide or Hydrogen Chloride. Macrotek has designed and supplied many systems to capture and treat these gases. In most cases the by-product is returned back to the process for reuse. Pyrometallurgical extraction of metals from sulphur containing ores generate large amounts of SO2 and particulate emissions. Macrotek has designed integrated systems to capture particulate and neutralizes SO2.

Dead trees and wood from forest management can be chipped and dried for gasification. The electricity generated can offset electrical costs while the consumption of waste wood offsets disposal costs. Disposal by gasification also has far lower particulate emissions than controlled burns and a lower carbon footprint than decomposition, since methane emissions from anaerobic decomposition are avoided. Decomposing wood reverts all of its carbon content to CO2, but gasification sequesters a portion of it as charcoal waste, usable as biochar.

Flue gas particulate and acid gases from biomass and bagasse boilers. Removal of ethanol, CO2 scrubbers and yeast cells from fermenters.  Removal of ash particulate, tars, acid gases and ammonia from steam reformers, gasifiers, pyrolosis units and cooling of syngas streams to acceptable limits to enable use as a fuel source for power generation or as a feedstock for chemical products. For tar removal, combination technologies can be used including oil based scrubbing solutions to reduce waste water generation. Ethanol and yeast cell removal from fermenter off-gases. Methanol from processing operations. Hydrogen sulfide removal on landfill, digester and producer gases with regenerable chemistries. Odor control for biomass storage facilities including carbon monoxide removal in wood chip storage areas.

Grinding & Deburring dusts are Unbreathable. Many industrial processes generate contaminants in the air in the form of dust and particles. Airborne dust and fine particulate can be hazardous to human health, and should be extracted before it reaches the worker`s breathing zone.? Typical sources of these pollutants arise from cutting, grinding using an angle grinder or die grinder, automated grinding machines, deburring work and many other abrasive processes. Robotic grinding machines generally create a large volume of particulate which can require more filtration media to handle increased dust loads. Whereas other applications such as deburring can create very fine submicron particles that require the use of a high efficiency HEPA filter to capture the fines.? Metal, composite, fiberglass and rubber dust can be extremely dangerous to inhale and can be associated with many different lung conditions and health problems. Diversitech offers a diverse range of dust collectors, extraction arms, filter cleaning machines and downdraft tables for your grinding dust filtration requirements.???

Welding fumes & gases are Unbreathable. Nonetheless, welding is perhaps the most common industrial process and necessary anytime the joining of metals is required. Regardless of the welding equipment type or technology, the simple process of melting metal and filler materials creates poisonous fumes and gases. ? Different types of welding processes present unique challenges to adequately handle airborne fumes. Robotic welding equipment and other automated welding systems produce a high volume of welding fumes and sparks and need to captured by a heavy duty robotic welding hood. Moreover, manual stick welding typically produces a high volume of smoke and often requires a self-cleaning fume extractor to avoid overwhelming the filters.? Lighter duty applications like MIG welding generally produce less particulate and light-duty TIG welding generates the least amount of smoke. It is important to not only consider the type of welding process but also the work piece material in order to select the correct filtration media for your application. HEPA filters are recommended for stainless steel welding, Nanofiber filters for Aluminum and parts containing higher levels of Manganese. Polyester filters are appropriate where rust inhibitor, lubricants and coatings create an oily smoke as these filters can be washed in water. Diversitech offers a complete line of fume collection machines from compact welding fume extractors to central welding fume filtration systems. We specialize in engineered solutions and our engineering team is experienced in selecting the best equipment and filter media for your particular application. We can present you with detailed technical drawings demonstrating several potential layouts and solutions including costing, installation and start-up expenses. ??
