Dust collection solutions for biomass handling

A steady increase in energy production worldwide is generated by biomass conversion, which comes with its own set of occupational health and safety issues, including hazardous dust emissions.

We understand the risks

Dust is generated at various stages of biomass handling, posing serious health risks to workers.

Prolonged exposure to fine biomass dust, a human carcinogen, can significantly impact health, while biomass ash residue also presents risks.

Wood biomass dust often contains toxins that trigger severe allergic reactions, respiratory issues, and even lung cancer. Other biomass types may contain fungal spores, adding to the respiratory hazards.

Wood dust is highly combustible, making dust control essential to reduce explosion risks. Additionally, biomass dust emissions can travel miles, potentially affecting nearby communities and leading to litigation, fines, or facility closure.

“The Bat Booth is actually unreal. We have got night shift workers, and it’s a lot faster and more efficient to use. Instead of relying on a simple handgun, this equipment really gets the job done quickly and effectively.”

“It is very good. The maintenance guys use it the most because they get covered in dust and dirt during their work. It makes a huge difference in keeping them clean and comfortable. They really appreciate how effective it is for that purpose.”
