Chemical Industry

The chemical industry generates dust through processes like material handling, screening, blending, and mixing. Contaminants can range from heavy to fine particulates, mists, and fumes. These contaminants can be hazardous to both workers and materials.

Cross-contamination with other materials is a concern because of the potentially harmful impact on product quality and safety. It is recommended to capture and control the contaminant at the source. Source capturing utilizes various types of hoods to remove the contaminant at or near the generation point to prevent the fume or dust from migrating into the facility.
