We have seen an increase in customer requests for analyses of Clean Air Environmental industrial ventilation over the past few years. Many of these requests have been prompted by the need to comply with the silica standard; however, more and more customers are also realizing the advantages that an engineering study can provide to their business and their bottom line.
Why Conduct an Industrial Ventilation Analysis
During an industrial ventilation analysis, we take air readings of the ventilation system, evaluate the dust collector, fans, and all system components, and conduct an air quality survey. From there, we create a baseline rating for the entire system, which can be used to figure out what your dust collection system should or shouldn’t do. The primary reasons to request an analysis are listed below if you are unsure whether an engineering study is right for you.
Expanding the ventilation system may be necessary when adding equipment. The most effective way forward is to begin by assessing the ongoing framework and its ability. You’ll then know if your current system can handle more volume and how it might affect the volume of data collected by other equipment.
Additionally, adding equipment does not necessarily necessitate adding to your ventilation system. A ventilation analysis might reveal that you already have more space than you need. We might also be able to rethink the system so that you don’t have to buy new dust collectors or reroute ductwork.
Changing a manufacturing procedure A modification to a manufacturing procedure may result in a greater volume of particulate matter being directed to an area that is not equipped to handle it. Particulate can build up in the ductwork if nothing is done to prevent it, adding weight that could cause the duct to fail. What’s more, on the off chance that the conduit isn’t worked to convey additional weight, office harm and representative wounds might happen.
Increasing energy efficiency A lot of businesses want to use less energy to be better for the environment. Even though an older dust collection system is still effective, it may be more expensive to operate. Older fans, for instance, might be to blame. A designing study would show whether you could set aside energy and cash with fresher, more proficient hardware, contingent on your framework plan and format.
Compliance with the silica standard The silica standard imposes a high standard. There are a few things you should do if your manufacturing process includes silica and you are having trouble meeting the standard. Hire an industrial hygienist to check your building for silica risk first. For instance, during each shift, the hygienist will collect samples from each worker in every area of your plant. We can then carry out an engineering study to examine your entire system and figure out the most effective way to capture the silica once you have that information.
