PC ROM Bin Fogging System detail

The success of the T&T Primary Crusher Run of Mine Ore Bin Fogging System is due to much more than it being just a wet fog suppression system.

The suppression process starts by establishing control over the rogue air currents and eddies as occur with large open dump hoppers. When ore is delivered to the hopper strategically located LP air blowers establish a dominant air pattern over the full open area of the bin and within the bin. A moment before ore is dumped into the bin turbulent fog is introduced into this dominant air pattern. As the ROM ore free falls into the bin it opens and envelops the active fog in the bin. This is followed by the falling ore impacting on the bin surrounds or crusher below resulting in a violent expulsion of the entrained air & fog. A consequence of this high velocity expulsion of air is that it also entrains and transports the finer dust fractions that simultaneously interact with the more coarse fog aerosols as have accumulated in the lower regions of the hopper. This interaction between the airborne aerosols and solid particulates culminates in their agglomeration and precipitation.

As the system creates a dominant air (and fog) pattern over the hopper momentary air displacements as occur are immediately swamped with the airborne aerosols and solid particulates rapidly agglomerating 'on the fly' with the majority precipitating within the confines of the hopper and on the fog wetted surfaces.

The T&T In-Process^© fog system does not use compressed air nor high-pressure water nor additional pumps so is eminently suited to all locations. All that is required is a water supply with a small positive head – gravity feed from an overhead tank is sufficient. There are no small orifices to clog in the water supply and the system is quite suitable for installation where freezing of the water supply pipelines is a problem.
