Fertilizer Dust Warehouse Problem

Posted in: , on 2. Dec. 2009 - 23:14

I wonder which the alternatives are to control the fertilizer dust generated in a big warehouse (with 9 boxes of 6000 tn each one). The dust is generated for example when we are unloading fertilizer from a ship and when the warehouse is empty the free fall generate such a dense dust that the place becames invisible.

Thanks,

Lucas

Dear Lucas, You can control the dust by installing special design dust collector mounted on the roof or side wall of the shed.We have recently supplied 32 dust collectors for coverd warehouse for cement.These supplies were made to a single client for their unloading stations in Sudan, UAE and in Yemen.

Assuming that you are describing bunkers/silos for storage:

You should also look at telescoping loading chutes as they control the dust completely by creating a cone and restraining the flow to the top of the cone to reduce the free airborne dust while the bins are being filled. every loading and unloading station, bin, or silo is different the problem is that you are familiar with your problem and we do not have the ability to see it unless you can provide a picture or two.

Lucas,

To give you a short response, from my 30+ years in the business of dust management, it is likely your most efficient and most economical solution will be through foam dust suppression.

Foam is 95% effective while increasing product moisture no more than 1/10th of 1 percent and applying approximately 9 Parts Per Million chemical surfactant.

Be additionally aware that not all dust suppression or foam dust suppression is created equally, a major factor in the effectiveness, economics and minimal affect on the dusty product is Application Technology. Application Technology comes from experience.

Hope this helps in your efforts.

hi anil

for bin of 2m by 2m area, depth around 2.5m, for clinker dust how big is interm or air volume we need to remove/minimise the fugitive dust or any dust generates from loading activity at this bin? - just give rough estimation, if dont mind share the sketch of the suction point/s better.
