Dust collectors are designed to remove hazardous dust and protect industrial environments. Yet statistics show they are among the equipment most frequently involved in combustible dust explosions.
In existing masonry buildings, structural strengthening and energy retrofitting are typically addressed separately. Our recent experimental study instead proposes an integrated approach based on TRM (Textile Reinforced Mortar) systems combined with diatons and lime-based insulating mortars with recycled aggregates.
Baghouse dust collectors are among the most critical pieces of equipment when it comes to dust explosion risk. Yet, many vent-sizing approaches still treat them as nearly empty enclosures, largely neglecting the effect of internal filters.
Every building starts with sand. Today, sand is the second most consumed natural resource worldwide, after water. Billions of tonnes are extracted each year for concrete production, reshaping rivers, coastlines, ecosystems, and landscapes. Yet sand scarcity is rarely addressed when discussing sustainable construction.
