Englo Wet Dust Extraction systems are installed at hundreds of locations including potash, phosphate, limestone, gypsum, coal mining, coal power and tunneling operations. Wet Dust Extraction Technology offers an alternative to dry fabric filter or cartridge collectors where difficult operating conditions such as combustible dust, moisture, or high-temperature conditions create problems for dry dust collection systems

The largest application of Englo Dust Extraction Technology has been for handling combustible coal dust at power plants, coal mining and coal preparation operations. These installations provide safer dust control for areas including conveyor transfers, tripper rooms, crusher buildings and reclaim tunnels.

Englo engineers work with you to evaluate your fugitive dust control problem. Dust sources are studied to determine where exhaust hoods can be used to contain and capture emissions. Equipment locations are determined. Effective ductwork routing is sketched out. Detailed 3D design models are developed in SolidWorks. Fabrication and construction drawings are completed. Turnkey installation management and system startup assistance is done to help you achieve a successful project operation.

A unique project for a river diversion tunnel project was the emergency supply of a 60,000 CFM Englo Type 46 wet dust extractor that solved a major dust problem and got this critically delayed project back in operation. Dual systems were eventually installed at each end of the two diversion tunnels as shown below.

Probe America Rotary Atomizer misting fans feature injection of low-pressure water into a unique high RPM mesh basket screen mounted in the discharge of the powerful Probe fan. The atomizer produces an extremely fine mist for dust control, odor destruction, cooling and humidification. Probe America also offers AiroPure dust and odor control solutions.

AiroPure dust control surfactant properties reduce water droplet surface tension to improve dust capture by up to 400%. AiroPure is also an Odor Destructive Reagent that combines with odor molecules and destroys an entire spectrum of malodor compounds. AiroPure eliminates offensive odors from hydrogen sulphide, ammonia, organic sulphur, nitrogen compounds, methyl mercaptan and trimethylamine. AiroPure inhibits growth of gram positive and gram negative bacteria such as legionella, E Cali, MRCS, CDIFF, Listeria and more.
