Control Dust and Odor

process dust suppression vegetable packingDust Suppression

With dust, especially silica dust gaining more focus from regulatory bodies, pressure is on process operators to keep dust down. Clearly the best solution is to avoid creating it or try to trap it at source.

Nevertheless, some processes do generate dust that cannot be trapped. It becomes airborne and must be suppressed.

Helping Your Business Conserve Water with Misting Systems

Even as states like California implement strict water consumption restrictions due to drought, misting systems get a pass. Currently, there are no restrictions in place against residential or commercial misting systems, and for good reason. Not only do these cooling systems provide relief to stadium attendees, livestock businesses, outdoor shopping venues, and even patio diners at your local restaurant or bar, but they do so while conserving water.

DSC_5235 resizedWhile it seems counterintuitive that a system designed to spray water is a water-efficient source of cooling, misting systems or fans differ from gardening hoses due to the amount of pressure required to function.  The high water pressure moves droplets of water through the nozzles, rather than allowing a stream of water to escape. The typical misting line kit uses much less water to cool an entire outdoor event than the typical homeowner uses to water their lawn.

Some of the cooling solutions from Advanced Misting Systems even recycle water, allowing business and homeowners to keep their guests cool while conserving water. It is estimated that a cloud of mist or a portable evaporative cooler can actually reduce the temperature by 10 to 30 degrees, depending on the cooling system type and size, and is a great defense against heat stress.

The Heated Side of Advanced Misting Systems

The recent storm systems moving through the nation during this last push of summer should serve as a reminder of just how different these conditions could be if the weather was cooler. If you remember, the winter of late 2013 and early 2014 was devastating for most of the East Coast and proved to be quite severe for other parts of the nation as well. Home heating systems were compromised and overworked. Many do not realize that Advanced Misting Systems, the company that provides an excellent range of cooling solutions, also provides a large variety of portable and stationary heating products.
