Abstract

This work study looked at coming up with a dust minimization system for the coal wagon tippler section in the coal handling plant. The proposed design sought to reduce the spread of dust at the offloading point by at least 60% of the initially observed level. There had been high incidence of operators affected by black lung disease caused by the inhalation of airborne coal dust. The study developed an optimum design system which included a hood, duct, fan and a cyclone separator to separate solid dust particles from the air stream.
