Optimization of dedusting

Goals:

• Cost-effective inventory and assessment of existing plants with regard to dust emissions and the efficiency of dedusting
• Proposal and assessment of possible geometrical and procedural changes to increase dedusting performance or reduce operating costs
• Improvement of working conditions
• Compliance with legally prescribed limit values ​​with regard to emissions and occupational safety, in particular also new fine dust limit values ​​(PM2.5, PM10)

Our portfolio:

Design / optimization of dedusting systems by:

• Operational observations, measurements, tests (details on the measurement techniques used by us can be found under “Services”)
• Numerical Simulation (Computational Fluid Dynamics)
• Experimental investigations on physical models for the assurance of simulation results
