Portable Dust Collector for Water Treatment Plants
Corrosion-resistant, mobile dust collectors engineered specifically for water and wastewater treatment plants – lime silo dust collection, chemical handling, and cleanup.
When water treatment plant operators across India need flexible, corrosion-resistant dust collection solutions for their chemical handling operations, they turn to Shivam Engineering & Fabrication. As a leading portable dust collector manufacturer for water treatment plants, we have supplied hundreds of units to municipal sewage treatment plants (STPs), industrial effluent treatment plants (ETPs), and water treatment plants (WTPs) across the country. Our portable dust collectors are engineered for corrosion resistance, mobility, and efficient dust capture – perfect for lime silo filling, chemical handling areas, and temporary cleanup.
Why Water Treatment Plants Need Portable Dust Collectors
Water treatment plants handle various chemical dusts including lime (calcium hydroxide), alum (aluminum sulfate), activated carbon, and polymer powders. Our portable dust collectors feature:
- Corrosion-Resistant Construction – SS304 for lime, alum, and carbon dust resistance.
- Mobile Design – Heavy-duty castors for moving between silos and chemical storage areas.
- Quick-Connect Ducting – Easy connection to silo vents and dust points.
- Easy Clean Access – For removing hygroscopic lime dust that may cake.
- Explosion Safety Options – For activated carbon dust applications.
- Low Maintenance – Designed for intermittent operation.
Key Applications in Water Treatment Plants
- Lime Silo Dust Collection – Capturing lime dust during silo filling. Lime is used for pH adjustment and softening.
- Alum (Aluminum Sulfate) Handling – Dust control during alum unloading and transfer.
- Activated Carbon Dust Collection – Capturing powdered activated carbon (PAC) dust used for taste, odor, and contaminant removal.
- Polymer Powder Dust Control – Dust collection from polymer unloading and mixing for sludge dewatering.
- Chemical Storage Area Cleanup – Portable unit for cleaning spills and dust accumulation.
- Soda Ash Handling – Dust control for soda ash used in pH adjustment.
- Ferric Chloride / Ferric Sulfate Area – Dust control (note: these are typically liquid, but powder forms exist).

Material Options for Corrosive Environments
Depending on the chemical being handled, Shivam Engineering & Fabrication offers different construction materials:
- Stainless Steel SS304 – Standard for most water treatment applications. Excellent corrosion resistance for lime, alum, carbon, and polymer dust.
- Stainless Steel SS316 – For highly corrosive chemical environments (concentrated chemicals, coastal plants).
- Epoxy-Coated Mild Steel (MS) – For less corrosive applications or budget constraints.
- Castors – SS304 castors with locking brakes, non-marking wheels for chemical areas.
Lime Silo Dust Collection – Special Considerations
Lime dust (calcium hydroxide) is hygroscopic and can absorb moisture, leading to caking. Our portable dust collectors for lime silos feature:
- Quick-Clean Access Doors – For easy cleaning if caking occurs.
- Smooth Interior Finish – Polished interior surfaces to minimize dust adhesion.
- PTFE Membrane Filters – Release lime dust easily, prevent blinding.
- Quick-Release Dust Bin – Easy emptying of collected lime dust.
- SS304 Construction – Resists corrosion from lime dust.
Activated Carbon Dust Safety Features
Activated carbon dust can be combustible. For carbon handling applications, we offer:
- Explosion Venting Panels – Pressure relief for combustible dust.
- Antistatic Filter Cartridges – Prevents static buildup on filter media.
- Grounding System – Continuous grounding strap for static dissipation.
- Flameproof Motor (Exd) – Optional for hazardous areas.
- Conductive Hoses – Grounded flexible hoses.

Frequently Asked Questions – Portable Dust Collector for Water Treatment Plants
1. What size portable dust collector do I need for a lime silo?
A 500-1,000 CFM portable dust collector is typically sufficient for a small to medium lime silo (10-50 tons). Larger silos (50-100 tons) may require 1,500-2,000 CFM. The unit can be wheeled to the silo fill point as needed.
2. Can portable dust collectors be used for multiple silos?
Yes. The mobile design allows you to move the unit between different silos (lime, alum, carbon, polymer) as needed. Quick-connect ducting makes it easy to attach to different silo vents.
3. How do you handle lime dust caking on filters?
We recommend PTFE membrane filters for lime dust, which resist caking and release dust easily during pulse cleaning. Quick-clean access doors also allow manual cleaning if needed.
4. Are portable dust collectors safe for activated carbon dust?
Yes. For activated carbon dust (which can be combustible), we offer explosion venting panels, antistatic filters, grounding systems, and optional flameproof motors for safe operation.
