    摘要: Process and apparatus capable to remove particles from a fluid stream (such as air or water) and directly convert the removed particles into a solid compact format commonly known as briquettes in a standalone combined single unit operation. The outlined process and equipment operates without the need for rotary valve technology and uses air versus hydraulics offering a cost competitive equipment solution for the end user. Active processes within the apparatus actively control the dust thereby allowing a variety of particles to be processes irrespective of moisture content and surface adhesive characteristics. Having the low-cost capability to convert explosive air/dust mixtures into briquettes significantly enhances safety and also reduces the associated manhandling effort required with disposing of collected dust with many briquettes typically having 100-500× the density of the incoming particles. In many regions the produced briquettes have a second hand value thereby creating a value stream from a zero value dust stream.
