Treatment of dust generated during the production of synthetic graphite
The case study presented in this paper concerns a Swiss multinational company specializing in the production of synthetic graphite. Within the plant, there was a significant problem of graphite accumulation, both in the air and on machinery, due to handling and crushing processes.
HF's proposed intervention consisted of two phases. The first phase consisted of the renovation of the filter unit, which was already carried out in 2015. The second phase involved the construction of a new pipeline inside the building, as the existing one was no longer functional.
Problems
- Extremely dusty area
- Need for filter revamping
- Need for a new piping line
- Intervention on two different levels of the building
Technical features HJL CART
- HJL-CART- 18-990-18
- Flow rate: 48,000 m3/h
- No. of suction points: 13
- No. of cartridges: 180
- Filter surface area: 990 m2
- No. of motorfans: 1 x 75 kW
HF proposed a customized solution to improve the safety and efficiency of this company's production environment. We renovated the HJL Cart filter system installed in 2015, replacing the cartridges and modifying the filter legs, which were inadequate.
- Healthier environment for workers
- Drastic decrease in the amount of dust in the area
- Renewal and inspection of the old filter system
- New piping line
