Overview
The chemical industry is vast and diverse, encompassing the production of fertilizers, pharmaceuticals, paints, adhesives, plastics, and perfumes, among other products. Many processes involved in chemical manufacturing—such as grinding, mixing, drying, and reacting raw materials—can generate various forms of dust, fumes, and particulate matter. Dust can arise from handling powders, dry chemicals, and substances like silica, carbon black, or pigments.
Challenges & Considerations
Health Hazards: Exposure to chemical dust can lead to respiratory problems, skin irritation, and other health concerns for workers. Toxic or reactive dust may pose additional risks.
Cross-Contamination: Dust from different chemical processes can mix, compromising product purity and quality.
Explosibility: Certain chemical dusts are highly combustible, increasing the risk of fires or explosions if not controlled properly
Environmental Regulations: The chemical industry is subject to strict emissions standards, requiring effective dust control to stay compliant
HEPA After-Filters & Broken Bag Detectors
Implement secondary safeguards to ensure harmful chemical dusts are properly filtered. We can supply and install HEPA housing units on the return ducting line to capture even the smallest leftover particles. Also available is the particulate detection system, which monitors return airflow to ensure the filtration is working as designed.
Chemical Explosion Suppression
For applications where explosion venting is not preferred (or an option), we can install chemical explosion suppression systems within the dust collector housing and ducting. Utilizing pressure detectors, the system will monitor for any combustion and when detecting imminent deflagration will release suppressing agents to stop the pressure rise. Especially useful in situations where there is not adequate venting space, or the system is within a sensitive area of a facility.
Filter Media Features
In applications with mild moisture elements, we may recommend oleophobic treated filters. Oleophobic filters are highly beneficial in chemical applications due to their ability to repel oils and other low-surface-tension liquids.
For applications with very fine particles, we may recommend nano-fibre cartridges. They are rated MERV 15, meaning it captures 94% of dust particles sized from 0.3 to 1 micron.
