Vortex Ventures™ Bulk Silos are used to transfer and store bulk barite and bulk cement when transferred from a marine supply vessel.
During the conveying process of material transfer, the vented dust is routed through a connecting pipe to a Dust Recovery Tank which is fitted with an Air Cyclone that uses special features developed by Vortex Ventures to separate the air and suspended solid particles.
The exhausted air is discharged from the Air Cyclone with a particle size of less than 12 microns. To further reduce solid particle release to the atmosphere filter sock may be used on the vent line from the Air Cyclone. Solid particles with a size greater than 12 microns are directed downward out of the Air Cyclone into the Dust Recovery Tank, ensuring minimal product loss.
