Industrial Ventilation

Industrial Ventilation Systems

US Duct specializes in designing and fabricating industrial ventilation systems. Our specialists work with a wide range of clients, with unique applications and requirements for ventilation solutions. This experience translates into cost-effective systems that can be easily modified and adapted as the process grows or changes.

US Duct produces ducting and related industrial ventilation products built to collect and clean the workplace environment of dust, mist, and fumes. Our ductwork design specialists will work with your facilities manager to identify specific needs, requirements, and layouts/measurements. Based on these specifications, US Duct can identify the most effective solution and provide a quote. Our industrial ventilation systems are designed and fabricated in-house to ensure that the air is cleaned effectively.

When Is A Ventilation System Needed?

A properly designed ventilation system involves the integration of multiple disciplines – some academic, others requiring management direction and personnel/process changes. Typically, the need for addressing the ventilation system in a plant arises when dusts, fumes, or chemical concentrations in the air become a safety hazard. These concentrations can reach a level that introduces the possibility of explosion, flame, or reduces the oxygen level below acceptable limits.

In these situations, the ventilation system must accomplish the following:

Provide fresh conditioned air
Process changes involving personnel, materials, and equipment
Substitute clean air for dirty
Substitute process materials used (chemicals for example)
Isolate contaminated air
Remove dust or fumes

Designing An Industrial Ventilation System

Design of an effective ventilation system requires knowledge of:

The material

Velocities required to move the material in the duct

Explosiveness (Kst value) of the dust

Hood design

Impact of dynamic changes in the process or the collection process (surge of material, density of the air, etc.)

The type of collector needed and the media that will work best with the material

For example: Wood dust collection typically requires a velocity of 4500 fpm (feet per minute) to keep the material from "falling out" in the duct, while welding fume will effectively move at 2000 fpm or less. Each requires a different media and cleaning process. One is explosive and the other is not; one will surge and the other will not.

Accurately accessing and accounting for these factors is a job best left to an experienced ductwork professional. US Duct is highly skilled at designing ventilation solutions that effectively address removal of dust, fume and mist, all within a cost-effective and adaptable system.
