New Guide on Dust Control Using Spray Technology Now Available

Dust prevention and suppression using wet dust control systems are addressed in a new in-depth guide published by Spraying Systems Co. The 20-page guide provides an overview of operations ideally suited to using spray technology to control dust and detailed information on how to configure a system and optimize performance. The guide addresses critical issues in dust control system specification including type of material generating the dust, particle size of the dust, dust location, availability and quality of water and more.

One section in the guide is devoted to spray nozzle selection. Spray angle, operating pressure, surface wetting and nozzle placement and positioning are discussed. Various nozzle types are reviewed and usage guidelines are provided. Additional sections in the guide cover options for system control, tips for spray system optimization, common performance problems and possible solutions, maintenance guidelines and more.

A Guide to Spray Technology for Dust Control is available upon request from Monitor Engineering. There is no cost for the guide. Click here to request the guide.
