IVEC Energy Control Systems

• Fully Automatic

• Fume/Dust Extraction “On Demand”

• Pay Only For Effective Work Time

•Reduce Size Of The System, Fan & Filter

• Improve the Environment

•Reduced Noise Levels•More Effective Extraction

1. A sensor reacts when A start up occurs (arc, machine, engine)

2. A damper opens / a fan starts

3. A sensor indicates the need for more or less “pressure” (based on a predetermined benchmark from a consultant experienced in multiple particulates )

4. The fan rpm goes up or down accordingly – along with HP needs 

IVEC – How Does it Work?

Project: Client had run out of capacity on their 50  HP collector –RetrofitStandard Alternative: Replace the dust collector at a cost of $80K & 2 weeks downtimeRecommended Solution: iVEC™ Systems 16 gate IPS/Advanced SystemResults:  ● $1000 monthly savings on electricity● More capacity than Boehm can use (Allows for added

machinery ventilation in the future.)● Noise reduction is significant

From the customer:  The utility company contacted me and asked “Did you go out of business?” because my electric consumption dropped so significantly.  iVEC™ saved me $80,000 because I didn’t 

have to purchase a new, larger dust collector that the other guys recommended.”

Duct Design

• Ductwork should be as short and straight as possible• Ductwork must be made of conductive material and have a smooth interior• Duct velocities 3500 – 4500 FPM• There cannot be any unused capped outlets, pockets, or dead‐end spaces• Additional branch ducts cannot be added unless a redesign of the system is performed

• Duct system along with machinery, hoods, and collectors must be bonded and grounded

Ductwork

• Ducts short and straight to maximize free airflow

• No dead‐ends or unused caps in ducts that could trap accumulations of dust

• Ducts grounded and bonded to dissipate static electricity

Particles are suspended

Air velocity at least 4500 ft./min

Build‐up of dust particles

Air velocity less than 3500 ft./min

Entrainment! is what you need!

Hooding & Ductwork

• All operations producing dust should have some type of hooding to collect dust – Refer to Industrial Ventilation Manual

• Backdraft Hood

• Extractor Arm

• Duct directly to operation – mixers/blenders 

• Bonded to equipment to hooding.  Limit static.

• Ductwork to be conductive/bonded – NO PVC.  Flex ductwork should be bonded/conductive

• Velocity is ductwork should be 4000 FPM to minimize particulate fallout

• Systems should be reviewed when new drops are added to system

Air Material Separator

• Bag House, Cartridge Collector, Cyclone, Open Collector

• Must have correctly sized explosion vent (NFPA 68) or suppression NFPA 69

• Filters to be grounded to dissipate static electricity

• Hopper discharge to drum or rotary airlock

• Is collector located inside?  If so, if venting correct to outside or using flameless vent?

• Is collector designed to withstand deflagration?

OSHA Poster

Dusts specifically highlighted:

• Aluminum

• Magnesium

• Sugar

• Phenolic Dust

NFPA Definitions

• Combustion – the chemical process of oxidation that occurs at a rate that is fast enough to produce heat and usually light, in the form of either a glow or flames

• Deflagration – propagation of a combustion zone at a velocity that is less than the speed of sound in the unreacted medium

• Explosion – the bursting or rupture of an enclosure or container due to the development of internal pressures from a deflagration

Maintenance & Housekeeping

• Develop and maintain a housekeeping program (this is something OSHA inspectors are checking for).

• Replace mops, brooms and blow guns with more effective cleaning tools/practices. These products push dust around without removing it and can create dangerous dust clouds.

• Limit/reduce the amount of overhead horizontal surfaces (racks, piping, ductwork, drop ceilings). These areas are hard to clean and trap dust.

• Make sure equipment is grounded to avoid electrical and static sparking.

Common HazLoc Applications

• Industry:  Paper

• Location:  Ceiling rafters and HVAC piping system.

• Application:  Vacuuming dust from overhead piping. Class II, Group G area.

Combustible Dust – Wet Collectors

• Can recirculate if tests conducted determine that the efficiency is great enough

• Dry filters in the collector or down stream are prohibited

• Level (high and low) must interlock with blower

• Sump must be vented at all times (for magnesium, must have a independent blower vent when primary blower is shut down)

• Sludge should be removed daily

• 99% efficient on 10 micron and 95% efficient at 5 micron

• Adds humidity back into room if recirculated 

• Cannot mix grinding & buffing/polishing operations

Applications for Combustible Dust–Wet Collection

• Rubber • Smoldering rubber dust from grinding caused many fires in dry collectors before going to a Filter‐1 wet collector

• Leather• Estwing Manufacturing, where leather handle is sanded and sparks can be generated from steel

• Food Industry • Wet collector to collect dust from batching, blending, weighing, dumping
