In industrial operations, particulate emissions affect compliance, equipment reliability, and worker safety. Effective control requires more than extraction — it demands coordinated engineering between particle generation, airflow, capture, and filtration.
At Ship & Shore Environmental, dust collection systems are designed as integrated solutions matched to each process. Systems capture dust at the source, maintain high filtration efficiency, and deliver stable long-term performance.
Engineering Approach
Source Capture
Custom hoods and enclosures capture dust at its origin using velocities of 0.5–2.5 m/s, preventing dispersion and reducing the air volume requiring treatment.
High-Efficiency Filtration
Media selection is based on particle size and loading conditions. Pleated filters increase surface area up to five times, enabling compact systems with >99% efficiency and emissions ≤5–10 mg/m³.
Intelligent Controls
Pulse-jet cleaning operates on differential pressure demand, extending filter life up to 50% while reducing compressed air consumption. PLC controls provide monitoring, diagnostics, and predictive maintenance.
Performance Parameters
Validated using CFD airflow analysis:
- Airflow: 1,000–100,000+ CFM
- Energy reduction: 15–25%
- Noise: ≤80 dB(A)
- Filter life: 12–36 months
Combustible Dust Safety
For metals, wood, plastics, and powders, systems integrate:
- Explosion venting and isolation valves
- Spark detection and arrestors
- Grounding and anti-static design
- Optional fire suppression
These features align with OSHA and EPA safety expectations.
Modular & Energy-Efficient Design
Modular construction enables expansion and flexible installation. VFD-controlled fans adjust airflow demand, typically achieving:
- 20–40% lower energy consumption
- ~30% reduced maintenance
- Reduced downtime
Applications & Compliance
Used across metalworking, woodworking, coatings, food processing, chemicals, and plastics manufacturing. Ship & Shore provides full lifecycle support — from design to commissioning and service.
As PM2.5 regulations tighten, engineered dust collection transforms compliance from a reactive requirement into predictable operational performance.
