Abstract

Finding suitable method for selecting the most suitable dust collector for manufacturers is a very important practise which help to reduce environmental pollution and develop a stable society. Based on available research results, the article studies the efficiency of dust removal technique for medium and small scale workshops on three equipments: wet scrubber, wet packed scrubber and centriscrub to suggest suitable dust treatment process in factories as well as the present need. The research result on three equipments suggest that the wet packed scrubber has a minimum particle removal efficiency of 92,67% while the wet scrubber achieving removal efficiency of 81,85% and the Centriscrub achieving removal efficiency up to 99,50%. The results show that the wet cleaning methods is the most suitable method for safe and efficient collection of dusts from various metal working applications such as deburring, polishing and grinding workshop in which the centriscrub achieves the highest efficiency.
