CRUSHING PLANTS
Crushing plants play an important role in the industrial sector, as they are used to crush raw materials into smaller components that are easier to process. To ensure a safe and efficient operation, it is important to install an efficient fume extraction system.
Crushing plants are used in a variety of different industries, such as mining, construction, manufacturing, and more. In the mining industry, these plants are used to process minerals, such as gold, silver, and copper, into smaller components. In the construction industry, crushing plants are used to reduce the size of construction materials, such as stone and concrete, for easier transportation and handling. While this process large amount of dry dust is generated. In the manufacturing industry, crushing plants are used to crush raw materials into smaller components for use in production.
Various types of crushing plants such as stone crushing, coal crushing, iron ore crushing, metal crushing generate lots of dusts during its crushing/screening or during the its transfer from one point to another either by belt conveyor or screw conveyor bucket elevator depends on the design of the plant.
The dust collection system for crushing plants involves dust collection from various points such as
- Belt to bin transfer
- Hopper discharge
- Belt to crusher transfer
- During screening Etc.
A fume extraction system is a special type of air cleaning system that is designed to reduce airborne concentrations of hazardous substances. It works by collecting fumes, dust, and other pollutants from the air in crushing zone, and then filters them out using a special filter bag. This filter bags are made from layers of non-woven fabric, which traps the pollutants in the form of airborne particles. The collected pollutants are then removed by a mechanical process. For details on fume extraction system, you can refer the concepts of Bag house and related equipment’s on this website.
Types of Crushing Plants
There are two main types of crushing plants: stationary and mobile. Stationary crushing plants are usually used in large-scale industrial applications and are usually installed on a fixed foundation. These plants are typically used to process large quantities of raw materials, such as ore, metals, and minerals. On the other hand, mobile crushing plants are smaller and can be moved around to various locations. They are usually used in smaller scale operations, such as construction sites, mines, and quarries.
Material Handling Systems
To ensure efficient operation, crushing plants also require a robust material handling system. This system is responsible for transferring the raw materials from the crushers to the processing area. The material handling system typically consists of conveyor belts, hoppers, and other equipment. Conveyor belts are used to move the material from the crusher to the processing area, while hoppers are used to collect the material and store it until it is ready to be
The types of stacks used in steel plants include wet and dry stacks. Wet stacks are used for dispersing water vapor and other liquid emissions. They are often equipped with cooling systems and mist eliminators to minimize the emission of pollutants. Dry stacks, on the other hand, are used for expelling air, smoke, and dust. They may also be equipped with scrubber systems or bag house systems to filter the smoke out.
Overall, industrial stacks are an essential part of steel plants and other industrial facilities. In addition to expelling emissions, they also help reduce the noise produced while expelling air by the industrial blowers and make it more comfortable for workers to work in plants.
FERTILIZER PLANTS
Industrial fertilizer plants are facilities that produce chemical fertilizers for agricultural use. These plants take various raw materials, such as phosphate ore, ammonia, and sulfur, and combine them to create a wide range of fertilizer products. While these products are essential to modern agriculture, the production process can cause significant environmental pollution.
The most common source of pollution from fertilizer plants is ammonia, which can be released into the air as a result of evaporation. Ammonia is a hazardous air pollutant that can lead to health problems, such as respiratory issues and eye irritation. Additionally, the runoff from fertilizer plants can lead to water pollution, as the chemicals in the fertilizers can contaminate nearby streams and rivers. The nutrients present in the fertilizer can also cause algal blooms, which can lead to decreased oxygen levels in the water and the death of aquatic life.

BOILER PLANTS
Industrial boilers systems are used to produce steam or hot water for power generation, manufacturing processes, heating, and other industrial and commercial applications. Boilers can be powered by a variety of fuels, including natural gas, oil, coal, biomass, and other sources. In addition, boilers are typically designed to run at very high temperatures, creating a number of pollutants, including carbon dioxide, CO2, nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, and particulate matter.
The main sources of contaminants in a boiler system are the fuels and their combustion products, as well as the materials used in the construction and operation of the boiler. These pollutants can be released directly into the atmosphere, or trapped within the boiler system. The extent to which pollutants are trapped or emitted depends on the type of boiler and the type of fuel used.
Fume extraction systems are designed to capture pollutants from industrial boiler systems and prevent them from entering the atmosphere. These systems typically include the use of scrubbers, which are designed to capture, filter, and store pollutants before they are released into the environment. Scrubbers may include a variety of technologies, such as chemical absorption, filtration, and electrostatic precipitation. Additionally, some systems may also include the use of activated carbon filters to capture hazardous particulate matter.

COAL HANDLING SYSTEMS
The coal handling system is a series of processes that are used to move, store, and manage coal from the moment it is mined until it is burned for energy. The system is composed of equipment that collects, transports, stores, and processes coal to meet the requirements of the power plant. Pollution sources in the coal handling system come from the burning of coal, as well as from handling and storage of coal. Pollutants released from the burning of coal include mercury, sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter. Pollutants released from the handling and storage of coal include dust, ash, and other contaminants. Additionally, coal ash, a by-product of coal combustion, contains contaminants like mercury, cadmium and arsenic, which can pollute waterways, ground water, drinking water, and the air if not managed properly.

PICKLING AND WATER TREATMENT PLANTS
Pickling is the process of treating metals or other materials with an acidic solution such as an acid bath or chemical solution, often with the purpose of increasing their corrosion resistance. This process is widely used in the production of various metal objects such as car bodies, pipes, and tanks.
The water treatment plant is a facility that uses various processes to remove contaminants from water. This includes physical, chemical, and biological processes, such as aeration, sedimentation, filtration, chlorine treatment, and reverse osmosis. It is used to improve the quality of drinking water, wastewater, and other water sources for industrial and household uses.
The pollution sources for water treatment plants vary depending on the type of treatment being carried out. Common sources include industrial waste, agricultural runoff, and sewage. The types of contaminants present in the water that require removal depend on the source, but can include heavy metals, organic chemicals, and bacteria.
GALVANIZING PLANTS
Galvanizing plants are a type of industrial facility where metal is treated with a protective coating of zinc to prevent it from corroding. The process of galvanizing requires the use of zinc, which is a pollutant source and can generate airborne contaminants such as particulates, sulphur oxides, and volatile organic compounds. These particulates and other contaminants are emitted during the galvanizing process and need to be controlled. To reduce the number of emissions, galvanizing plants should employ effective control technologies such as scrubbers, baghouses, and fabric filters. Additionally, businesses should also use best practices such as preventing spillage, reducing emissions from quenching activities, and controlling emissions from the air exhaust of the furnace.
