Client Requirements & Challenges
High-temperature, moisture-laden dust emissions from an ore crushing and screening plant caused severe clogging in traditional dry filter bags. Wet scrubbing was required to eliminate fire risks and meet environmental EPA emissions caps.
Engineering Solution Delivered
ADFC designed a high-efficiency Venturi Wet Scrubber built from 316L stainless steel. The system handles wet, sticky mineral dust with 99.5% efficiency down to 1 micron, incorporating a recirculating slurry settlement tank and automatic water treatment monitoring.
Australian Dust & Fume Control was contracted to design, engineer, and install a custom system for this project located in Mount Isa, QLD.
