Industrial dust control for a better environment
Slowing wind is the key objective in any dust control strategy as it is wind that causes and distributes dust. Fugitive dust tends to come from two distinct sources. We call it eroded dust and airborne dust. A good windfence will reduce wind speeds to under 40% and fugitive dust to under 16%.
Case Study 1
Situation:
A major port in Europe has expanded further and further into the settlement area. The authorities were very conscious of the risk of dust blowing on the city. The only solution can be a dust control system. In addition to controlling the dust and dealing with winter ice storms, their challenges included creating full access for an intensive rail system and their ship-loading systems.
Our Solution:
Our team together with the port authorities worked on a suitable solution, which also was made for the weather situations and the port area. The fence panels provide effective control of fine dust movement. The system is flex in the wind and allowing the fence to maintain peak performance.
Case Study 2
Situation:
A large steel pelletising operation has multiple piles spread over a peninsula of land that is upwind of a popular tourist and residential beachfront area. The right solution was dust system combined to control the wind.
Our Solution:
As a first stage, one smaller pile was chosen for an in depth evaluation. With the aerodynamic design complete, the fence was erected and the now sheltered pile carefully studied using the same instrumentation. The end result was that the measured fence effectiveness of 77% matched the predicted effectiveness within 5%. Some small refinements were made to the model, then the CFD study was extended to cover most of the site. From that study several more kilometers of WeatherSolve wind fences ranging up to 28m high were designed and installed.
Case Study 3
Situation:
Vale S.A. is the world’s largest producer of iron ore pellets. Their main plant is at Vitoria, a coastal city in Brazil. The Vitoria plant covers approximately 5 square kilometers and is 5 km upwind across an open bay from a major housing area.
Our Solution:
To control the dust from the plant, in 2008 Vale initiated a comprehensive wind fence program. With the dust base level established, a wind fence was then built. After the fence was installed, the monitoring program was run for another 45 days. The results showed an effectiveness of 77.4% in the control of TSP (Total suspended particulate) leaving the yard.
