Specialists from SKIF TG successfully completed the reconstruction of the dust collection systems at the TRANSPED s.r.o. elevator. The client reached out to us with a challenge: their existing dust collection systems were failing to meet the desired efficiency standards.
Our engineers took a comprehensive approach to the issue. Two solution options were proposed to the client.
For the calculation of the SAREX, we developed two versions of the project documentation, which allowed us to estimate the cost with an accuracy of up to 5%.
- The first option involved installing local filters at the transfer points.
- The second option involved repairing the existing dust collection systems with the replacement of the dust extraction equipment.
Based on the prepared solutions, the client decided that Option 2 was more effective in terms of SAREX and operational reliability.
Reconstruction is always more complex than new construction. Therefore, integrating larger filters into tight spaces proved to be nearly an impossible task in practice. The main challenges were the inability to use standard lifting equipment due to space limitations and the physical wear of the supporting metal structures. To enable installation, we disassembled all filter housings into assembly units and parts. The supporting structures of the filters and service platforms were also disassembled into separate components. All installation was done in stages. First, all supporting frames with cones were installed, and then the housing for each filter was assembled piece by piece.
As a result of the meticulous work of our engineers and the customer’s installation department, over the course of three months, the entire equipment and ducting system components were replaced.
The results of the filter efficiency measurements were a shock to the client. The emissions into the environment did not exceed 10 mg/m3.
Thanks to our accumulated knowledge and experience, the SKIF TG team is always ready for new challenges. For us, there are no unsolvable tasks!
