C&D Dust Control System

A Delaware Construction, Demolition (C&D) transfer station was experiencing extreme dust issues while dumping, moving, and reloading the C&D waste. Not only was it leaving the building to surrounding areas it was also a hazardous work environment for the employees working in the building.
The catch is that the dust has to be knocked down without soaking the floor.
We designed a system that would do just that.
By using nozzles set on specific centers and a regulated pressure we were able to obtain just the right droplet size.
The system also has the capacity to be expanded as the C&D waste intake becomes greater.
The current unit has the ability to operate 3 zones. One at a time, or all three together.
A side advantage is that during the sweltering summer months the building temperature actually drops about 10 degrees which is an added bonus for the workers.
Bottom line is; Happier employees due to better work conditions, higher productivity, and happy neighbors.

Inlet Water Filters

This particular building is 400' long x 100' deep x 50' high

The inlet water for the dust control system passes through 2- 10 micron filters before it reached the pump. This extends pump life and protects the nozzles.

The control panel is wired into a low water cut off valve so if there is a water loss for any reason the dust control pump shuts down.
