AST Engineering offers Ventilation Engineering services to ensure the efficient & safe operation of your industrial ventilation, plus dust, fume & mist collection systems.

Engineering Services for Dust Collector & Ventilation Systems

Gears Meshing - Systems Engineering Concept | AST Engineering

Airborne contaminant reduction is an important aspect of industrial and commercial operations today. It is imperative that these systems run efficiently to reduce operational costs and safely to meet standards set out by various regulatory bodies — to ensure the safety of workers and preserve the viability of the property. In addition to these onsite concerns, stack emission impacts on the environment and emission control are of importance.

Optimizing Dust Collection & Ventilation Systems

Industrial Ventilation and Dust Collection System Engineering includes optimization of systems to increase efficiencies and reduce costs. Articles on this website addressing system optimization include:

For a full list of articles pertaining to dust, mist and fume collection strategies for increasing efficiencies and lowering costs see our Technical Articles Section.

Dust Mist & Fume Collection System Engineering

These systems are commonly known as dust, mist and fume collection systems. Each of these systems has similarities and differences in the way the airborne contaminants are collected and filtered. Each system must meet regulatory standards for industrial ventilation set out by:

Engineering Services

AST Engineering offers several services:

Dust, Mist & Fume Collection System Design

AST Engineering designs simple or complex dust collector systems. We create 3D models of the system design using SolidWorks 3D Modelling Software which allows us to generate 3-dimensional models of the proposed system. These 3D models are conceptual and help the designers, manufacturers, client and installers to have the same vision of the completed project. The level of detail in the models helps to streamline the installation process of the system.

Dust Hazard Analysis

AST Engineering can analyse the dust within your facility for the flammability and explosivity within the context of your whole operation — analysing single-source dust samples and multi-source interactions within the facility.

Explosion Mitigation & Suppression Integration

AST Engineering can design systems to help prevent explosions or fires within your facility, mitigate pressure events by  releasing pressure waves away from workers and equipment and suppress fires or explosions before they can become uncontrolled.

System Efficiency Analysis

AST Engineering can analyse existing systems and help you to optimize efficiency and lower operational costs through updated technology and new process control.

Pre-Start Health & Safety Reviews

AST Engineering can perform Pre-Start Health and Safety Reviews as required by the Ontario Occupational Health and Safety Act before new operations are added to a facility.

Project Estimating

AST Engineering has experience and a large database of knowledge to help you estimate new project cost and ongoing operational costs of a future undertaking. We can also help you to calculate Return on Investment (ROI) for updates to newer technology.

AST Engineering has decades of experience. Our company has become well known in air decontamination, especially in the design and development of dust capture, transport and filtration systems as we strive to meet customer demands in industrial clean-air solutions.
