Coal powder dust removal equipment: a guarantee scheme for efficient purification and safe operation

Jul 04,2025

In thermal power generation, steel smelting, cement production and other industries, pulverized coal is widely used as an important energy and raw material. However, during the preparation, transportation, and combustion of coal powder, a large amount of dust is generated, which not only pollutes the environment and endangers workers' health, but also poses a serious risk of explosion.
Coal powder dust removal equipment: a guarantee scheme for efficient purification and safe operation

In thermal power generation, steel smelting, cement production and other industries, pulverized coal is widely used as an important energy and raw material. However, during the preparation, transportation, and combustion of coal powder, a large amount of dust is generated, which not only pollutes the environment and endangers workers' health, but also poses a serious risk of explosion. Therefore, choosing appropriate coal dust removal equipment has become the key for enterprises to achieve green production and ensure safe production.

Characteristics and dust removal challenges of coal powder dust

Coal powder dust has unique physical and chemical properties, which pose many challenges to dust removal work. Its particles are small, with most particles ranging in size from 0.5 to 50 microns, making them easily suspended and diffused in the air; And it has strong adsorption and stacking properties, making it easy to adhere to the surface of equipment, the inner wall of pipelines, and filter materials, resulting in difficulty in cleaning dust. In addition, coal powder is a combustible substance, and its dust can reach a certain concentration in the air (with an explosion lower limit of about 35-50g/m ³). When it encounters a fire source or electrostatic discharge, it may cause a violent explosion, resulting in serious casualties and property damage. Meanwhile, long-term inhalation of coal dust can cause occupational diseases such as pneumoconiosis, posing a threat to workers' physical health.  

Selection of Coal Dust Removal Equipment and Key Points of System Design

1. Analysis of dust characteristics: Before selecting dust removal equipment, it is necessary to analyze in detail the particle size distribution, humidity, volatile matter content, explosion characteristics, etc. of coal powder, and choose the appropriate equipment type and configuration according to the actual situation. For example, for high volatile, flammable and explosive coal powder, priority should be given to selecting dust removal equipment with explosion-proof functions.
2. Calculation of air volume processing: Based on the dust production of coal powder preparation or combustion equipment, accurately calculate the required processing air volume to ensure that the dust removal equipment can collect and process dust in a timely and effective manner. Insufficient air flow can lead to dust spillage and affect the workshop environment; Excessive air volume will increase equipment investment and operating costs.
3. Explosion proof and safety design: Considering the explosion risk of coal powder dust, dust removal equipment must have a complete explosion-proof design. In addition to using anti-static filter materials and installing explosion-proof electrical equipment, it is also necessary to install explosion-proof devices (such as explosion-proof plates, explosion-proof doors) and set up anti-static grounding to prevent static electricity accumulation and dust explosion accidents. At the same time, the sealing performance of the equipment should be good to avoid explosive environments caused by coal powder leakage.
4. Intelligent monitoring and maintenance: Introduce an intelligent monitoring system to monitor the operating parameters of dust removal equipment in real time, such as inlet and outlet pressure difference, air volume, temperature, dust cleaning status, etc. When the equipment malfunctions, the system can promptly sound an alarm and prompt maintenance measures, making it easier for enterprises to handle faults in a timely manner and ensure the stable operation of dust removal equipment. Regularly maintain the equipment, including cleaning dust, checking the condition of filter materials, lubricating components, etc., to extend the service life of the equipment.

The reasonable selection and application of coal dust removal equipment is an important link in ensuring the safety production of enterprises and achieving environmental emission standards. By understanding the characteristics of coal powder dust, selecting suitable dust removal equipment, and focusing on selection and system design points, enterprises can effectively solve dust pollution problems, reduce explosion risks, achieve green, safe, and efficient production, and occupy an advantageous position in the global industrial market competition.
