Cleaner Production in Evaluating Dust Generation and Reduction

Some cleaner production practices which can be applied are; 1. Good housekeeping- taking appropriate managerial and operational actions to prevent dust/ material spills and enforcing existing operational instructions. 2. Better process control- modifying operational procedures and machine instruction and process record keeping in order to run the processes at a higher efficiency 3. Equipment modification- modifying existing equipment and utilities in order to lower dust emission generation rates and run the processes at a higher efficiency. 4. Technology change- replacing the technology or processing sequence in order to minimize dust during production. 5. On site recovery and reuse, 6. Efficient use of energy resources
