Baghouse dust collection systems and TRC ADS™ Dry Fog Dust Suppression Systems are typically used as separate dust control technologies. In most applications, they should not be applied at the same dust source because extraction systems pull air and dust into the baghouse, and adding dry fog at that intake point could introduce moisture into the filters and affect bag performance.
However, these two technologies can work effectively together at the baghouse fines discharge point. Baghouses are highly effective at collecting dust from specific sources, but the collected fines must eventually be discharged back into the material handling process. This discharge can create a high-concentration dust source, especially when fines are released onto a conveyor, chute, bin, or transfer point.
By applying TRC ADS™ Dry Fog at the baghouse discharge, TRC can help control airborne fines by agglomerating the dust particles and allowing them to settle back onto the material stream. This approach helps reduce fugitive dust emissions, improve housekeeping, and support safer material handling operations.
TRC can integrate ADS™ Dry Fog into an existing baghouse discharge system or provide a complete solution that includes both a new baghouse system, through our parent company PIMASA, and a TRC ADS™ Dry Fog system for fines discharge dust control.
