Aluminerie Alouette
Location: Sept-Îles, Québec
Category: Industrial Ventilation
Application: Productivity improvement through dust removal | Regulatory compliance
Problem: Industrial ventilation | Dust collection
The de-lining is the removal of carbon bricks and waste refractory constituting the inner surface of the tanks. This is usually done by an excavator; it is causing significant emissions of dust and smoke, particularly when the temperature of the tanks is high. The operations shall be interrupted if dust control (ambient) is not adequate.
