WET DUST COLLECTORS ON ASPHALT PLANTS

A DISCUSSION IS PRESENTED OF THE USE OF WET DUST COLLECTORS AS THEY ARE APPLIED ON ASPHALT PLANTS. WET COLLECTION IS USUALLY DONE FOR AIR POLLUTION REQUIREMENTS. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY DRY COLLECTORS ARE NORMALLY USED FOR THE RECOVERY OF FINE MATERIALS. SECONDARY DRY COLLECTION, OTHER THAN BAG TYPE COLLECTORS, USUALLY WILL NOT SOLVE AIR POLLUTION PROBLEMS. TO DATE, THE WET COLLECTOR HAS PRESENTED THE MOST ECONOMICAL SOLUTION FOR ASPHALT PLANT PRODUCERS FOR THE RESOLUTION OF THE AIR POLLUTION PROBLEM.
