Description

Fine dusts from organic or metallic components are combustible.
Herding® Filter Units can be equipped with preventive and constructive fire protection measures.

Preventive measures are for example:

• Design Filter Unit free of own ignition sources
• Use of a spark arrestor Herding® SPARKSTOP for spark-generating processes
• Regular dust discharge to minimize the dust amount inside the Filter Unit
• Passivation of the combustible dust by systematic addition of inert material to create a non-combustible mixture of dust and inert material

Effective systems for detection, alarming and fighting of fires inside the filter unit are available if constructive fire protection measure become necessary.
