What
is Dust Suppression?
 Many
processes create clouds of fine particle airborne dust while
transferring or transporting bulk materials. This airborne
dust is not only annoying but can be toxic and debilitating
to humans and damaging to surrounding facilities and equipment.
To minimize or eliminate this dust condition, systems consisting
of pumping stations, piping, spray assemblies and controls
are designed to effectively encapsulate the dust cloud in
a fine vapor mist. The dust particles agglomerate with the
fine water droplets, becoming heavier than the air, resulting
in a "settling out" of the airborne dust.
What
makes an Air Process Systems Dust Suppression System Superior?
Air Process Systems Nozzles along with a proper system design
make an Air Process Systems system superior to most other
systems.
Air Process Systems nozzles utilize both compressed air and
liquid (in most cases water) to create an ultra fine droplet
spray pattern. The very fine droplet size (as small as 1 micron)
is the key element and is created by disintegration of the
water spray in high energy shock waves. The shock waves are
produced by the compressed air impacting on a resonator at
the tip of the nozzle. The waves are reflected back into the
emerging liquid shattering the liquid into micro fine droplets.
For a given volume of liquid that means the droplet density
(droplets per volume of air) is greatly increased. This, in
turn, greatly increases the impaction rate of dust particles
to water droplets, producing a higher rate of agglomeration
and dust capture.

What
are the Benefits of an Air Process Systems Dust Suppression
System?
- Greater
efficiency in settling out airborne particles than
liquid only or non-resonator type nozzle systems.
- Less
water consumption.
-
"Dry" product due to ultra-fine droplet
size.
- Applicable
to most types of dust producing products.
- Complete
system design responsibility.
