Full-scale investigation of emissions from the installations for plasma arc cutting and welding of pipes at the pipe electric-welding shop of Volzhsky Pipe Plant
The purpose of the full-scale investigations under the conditions of a pipe electric-welding production in operation was to obtain the necessary amount of actual data characterizing the features of the formation of aerosol emissions, their localization and treatment. During the investigation, the three main groups of factors were considered: the technological factors specifying the features of the technological process of pipe production, the technological conditions factors reflecting the power, frequency and composition of aerosol emissions, the operational aerodynamics of the ventilation systems for localization, removal and treatment of emissions.
