Dust Containment – a necessity to make the fog work

It is often thought that installation of fog nozzles alone can achieve effective dust control. Not so. Enclosures and arrangements are required to contain both the dust and the fog to enable effective agglomeration which are inherently expected to be in place which would adequately contain the air move movement caused within the material handling system / process to avoid handling and processing losses. This aspect hugely affects the effectiveness of dust control as it provides the retention time requiered for the dust and fog to agglomerate without which dust control cannot not be effective.

But, based on practical experience and observation it is often seen that the prime reason for dust nuisance is the inadequacy of proper containment arrangements either inherently or in the process of repairs and maintenance. This results in the compromise of effective dust control and a direct loss of material wastage.

These could be avoided or set right  as per the visuals.
