Two concerns are critical when handling pharmaceutical dusts: Personnel exposure to potent, toxic or allergenic dusts, and the explosion properties of the dusts. Camfil dust collection experts understand the toxicological properties of dusts and potent compounds. We also know how to review the Occupational Exposure Limit (OEL), and can perform a risk-based exposure evaluation to determine the proper method of dust control. In most cases, we recommend a secondary HEPA system so that your facility can recirculate the filtered air back into the HVAC system. This can significantly reduce energy costs while providing the necessary level of filtration that the EPA requires for discharged air.<\/p>\n

To safeguard against deflagration from combustible dust, your facility may require control measures such as explosion venting<\/a>, chemical suppression, and isolation systems. Camfil APC will recommend these accessories if the Kst, Pmax, MIE and the dust collector location require them. We will make certain that the all explosion protection equipment satisfies the requirements and standards of NFPA, ATEX, local fire marshals and insurance carriers.<\/p>\n
