DUST COLLECTION
Control What’s in the Air
Dust collection is about more than maintaining a clean facility. When dust isn’t properly managed, it can affect workplace air quality, system performance, and employee health and safety. From source capture and conveying to filtration, explosion protection and system controls, Keen takes an integrated approach to dust management — engineering practical solutions around how your facility actually operates.
Reducing Risk at the Source
Combustible dust hazards have the potential to cause catastrophic events that can disrupt business and put lives at risk. That’s why a clear understanding of where dust is generated and how it moves through the facility is essential. Combustible dust deserves particular attention. OSHA explicitly points to dust-tight equipment, effective dust collection/aspiration, ignition-source control, explosion protection and isolation as important engineering considerations.
We help clients analyze existing systems, identify hazards and design solutions to manage dust safely and efficiently. We also provide complete installation of the systems we design, ensuring they are properly balanced to reach the efficiency clients need.
Results Beyond Collection
Installing and maintaining a dust control system is essential to properly operating your facilities. A safer, cleaner workplace will improve employee morale. Combined with the right training, effective dust control can also support greater awareness of and compliance with safety standards. It may also reduce operating costs by improving process efficiency.
