Dust Extraction for a Dump Hopper

Posted in: , on 21. Dec. 2010 - 07:45

Hi,

I am designing a dust extraction system for a crushing plant.

In the dump hopper area, dust suppression cannot be employed due to the scarcity of water in the plant location.

Can anyone please advise me how to extract dust from the dump hopper in such a case?

Thank & Regards

There are a number of options. Some of which are listed in the article commencing p 2 of this document.

Thank you Mr.Lyle.

The article was quite informative.

Is there any empirical equation or method to calculate the fugitive dust emitted from a dump truck?

Thanks Mr.Lyle

The links are really interesting and informative.

I was able to size the filter refering the previous projects.

It was similar to the design found in the article which you shared in your first reply.

The concluded design was to build an enclosure around the hopper and to provide a bag filter of 30000m3/hr.

The bag filter is sized based on the dimesnions of the enclosure.

Hi Anand,

It is possible to design these items without the need for any bag houses or dust extraction system by designing the system in a way that makes the air flow predictable and then stilling the air flow with static devices. We have done this successfully, it is much cheaper, it creates less dust and there is no collected material to manage. If you want to know more email me.
