Dust Control for Coal & Power Generation
For power plants and facilities handling massive amounts of coal a year, managing dust emissions is a huge priority. Coal dust is a safety hazard, an environmental nuisance and can increase maintenance costs of equipment. Managing coal dust is vital to worker health and imperative to meeting safety regulations. Agencies such as OSHA and MSHA have been ramping up enforcement of dust emission standards in light of emerging research that suggests long-term, life threatening impacts of fugitive dust particles. Implementing an effective dust management strategy helps companies meet compliance regulations and maintain position relations with surrounding communities.
Fugitive dust can be generated during stackout, transportation or storage of coal. Disruption of the material from onsite activities or environmental factors (such as wind) causes particles to become airborne and hazardous. There are a wide range of techniques available to control and prevent dust from becoming problematic. Misting cannons have become the predominant method for dust management based on their ease of use, cost-effectiveness and proven success. Systems such as the DustBoss® utilize atomized mist technology to trap dust and drive it to the ground. As one of the most versatile dust control solutions, DustBoss offers multiple cannon sizes that can be mounted on trailers for mobility around the site or raised on towers to elevate your angle of attack.
