Preliminary Survey Report: Control Technology for Filling of Containers at Corn Products Company, Summit, Illinois

摘要

A survey of technology for controlling exposure to dust during loading of bulk dry materials was conducted at Corn Products Company (SIC-2046), Summit, Illinois in December, 1985. The control technology consisted of a dust control loading (DCL) system. The company was planning to replace the DCL system with a new loading station. The author concludes that the DCL system as presently used is ineffective in reducing dust emissions. He concludes that when the new loading station goes into operation, an in depth study could be of value in determining the spout's effectiveness in controlling dust.
