Development and justification of the treatment system layout scheme for dust emissions from mobile and portable asphaltconcrete plants

Abstract

Nowadays, reducing the amount of dust in urban atmosphere is an urgent task for the majority of industrially advanced countries in the world. Road construction works are one of the factors influencing the increase in the dust particles concentration in the atmospheric air. The authors present the treatment schemes for dust emissions from mobile and portable asphalt concrete plants applying dust collectors with countercurrent swirling flows. They conducted an analytical investigation of the operation of the designed layout schemes applying dust collectors with countercurrent swirling flows (CSF), dust concentrators and bag filters. The justification of the optimum layout scheme was presented
