CfPA - The Center for Professional Advancement, 90 Minute Accredited Online Training
April 13, 2010 at 11:00 a.m.–12:30 p.m. (ET)
Who Should Attend
This course will benefit anyone involved with the design, specification, configuration, purchase or operation of nuisance dust collection systems and those specifically incorporating pulse-jet style dust collectors, regardless of industry segment.
The course content will cover topics of importance to engineers, purchasing agents, operators and maintenance personnel as related to nuisance dust collection systems and pulse-jet collectors. Description
Nuisance dust collection systems play an important role in any plant operations as part of the production or manufacturing processes as well as to provide a safe working environment for workers and equipment.
This 90-minute accredited training will cover the essential aspects of designing, specifying and operating a nuisance dust collection system and equipment in order to maximize the system performance and minimize the energy use associated with the system. Although the course will concentrate on pulse-jet style collectors, certainly other cleaning technologies can be used, and appropriate general comments will be provided regarding media options that can decrease the required cleaning energy.
This course will also cover the potential impact of deviations and changes to the system or its operation, and suggestions for minimizing the impact when changes are necessary.
Module 1: Basic ductwork considerations and dust collection media configuration
• Duct system design considerations and potential issues
• “Filter box” configuration and potential issues
• Media upgrades to reduce cleaning activity
Module 2: Media cleaning function
• Cleaning system components and configuration
• Cleaning methodology and settings
• Cleaning system issues
Module 3: Fans and systems
• Basic fan selection considerations
• Fan control considerations and potential issues
• Impact of system changes
