The Engart Dust Extractor
For Power Utility, Mining
And Heavy Process Industries
ENGART dust extraction systems are trouble free compact, reliable dust management units designed to remove 98.5% of total dust from plant or mining operations. The systems are continually improved at Engart's ISO 9001 facilities and custom manufactured specifically to improve the environmental operating conditions of customers.
Customer Applications
- NO EXPLOSION RISK AS IS POSSIBLE WITH DRY COLLECTION SYSTEMS
Pacificorp purchased the Engart System for their Tripper Room to replace their current Dry Collection System. One of the primary reasons was to eliminate the threat of a coal dust explosion. Many Power Utility operators have had explosions and/or coal related fires, which have instilled the need for explosion doors and some type of fire suppression system to prevent progression to their dry collectors. - NO BAGS TO CHANGE
The Engart System uses a self-flushing extraction panel that will last for many years, AEP was impressed with the ability of the Engart System to eliminate the problems they currently face with dry collectors. - NO NEED FOR COMPRESSED AIR
- EXHAUST INSIDE
Pacificorp received approval from the Wyoming DEQ to eliminate their Tripper Room dust collectors as an emission source by installing the Engart System and venting the exhaust inside the room. Wyoming DEQ has approved the Engart System as BACT (Best Available Control Technology), and made a personal visit to the plant to inspect the system and were pleased with its performance. AEP has used a combination of exhaust situations at Gavin, Muskingum River Plant, Oklaunion, and Mountaineer. - LOW MAINTENANCE
The Scherer Plant in Macon, GA wanted a system that provided low maintenance and high collection efficiencies, the Engart System has cleaned up their fugitive dust at the Crusher House. Fresnillo Silver Mine in Mexico needed to move high volumes of air at a low cost and extremely low maintenance. BHP Mines in South Africa-Ingwe Coal, and Samancor (BHP subsidiary) selected Engart for its high dust collection efficiencies and low maintenance. - ELIMINATES DUST RETURN SCREW CONVEYORS
- HIGH COLLECTION EFFICIENCY
- CONSISTENT AIR VOLUME
Many dry collection systems "pack up" with dust and experience a dramatic increase in the internal system pressure which in turn lowers the carrying velocity and hence the total volume of air (vacuum) at the collection points. We have found this to be true when installing our system as a retrofit- we typically clean out the old ducts within a few minutes. Mingo Logan Coal Co. and ARCH COAL selected the Engart System to handle the dust collection at its Preparation Plant; because of the problems they experienced using Dry Collection Systems with their partially wetted dust. Wetted dust and dry systems do not get along! - PROVEN SIMPLE OPERATION
The Engart System has been proven to be simple and effective worldwide for over twenty years to handle all sorts of coal and rock dust applications. - FLEXIBLE ENGINEERING APPROACH
The Engart System is flexible, and is used in Underground Coal Mines, Silver Mines, Tunneling projects, Power Plant Tripper Rooms, Power Plant Crusher Houses, Coal Preparation Plants, and Coal Transfer Stations.
