Source extraction in the energy and biomass industry

When generating energy around biomass processing plants, particulate matter, gases and vapours spread rapidly. Particulate matter, but certainly also fly ash, are dangerous substances that can cause various respiratory diseases. These dust particles are so small that they nestle deep into the lungs when inhaled, with all the nasty consequences this can cause. With directed extraction and ventilation, the concentration of these respirable contaminants can be reduced. Some of these substances are potentially explosive and therefore fall under the ATEX guidelines. Air Solutions Holland has the expertise to engineer, build and maintain a complete and safe ATEX certified extraction installation.

Air Solutions Holland has the following different source extraction solutions for the energy and biomass industry:

  • Extraction arms with various different nozzles
  • Extraction cranes for more range
  • Ring extraction around manholes or filler openings
  • Slit extraction very directional over the full width or length of a machine or process line
  • Edge extraction for a larger area around a machine or process line

The purpose of these extraction solutions is always the same: protect your employees by directly extracting harmful gases, vapours, fine dust and/or aerosols. The source extraction solution is therefore mounted as close as possible between the place where the dust is released and the place where your staff breathes air. Airflows are easily disturbed by rapid movements of equipment or heat and cold sources. Also, many gases and vapours are heavier than air, so they will sag downwards. All these specific requirements and preconditions are taken into account in our advice: how can we best protect your product and your employees, what is the best choice of source extraction, what speed of extraction is desirable and what is the ideal position of the extraction system. Air Solutions Holland therefore offers a customer specific solution that is most suitable for your situation, our employees are always ready to advise you without any obligation.
