Fatty or oily dusts are common in food processing industries and in processes where hydrocarbons are present. These dusts are found in:

grain processing
milk drying
cheese whey drying
egg powder production
animal feed

As well as:

pet coke
petroleum based products
secondary smelting where plastics are present
plastic or film recycling

Not only are these dusts difficult to clean off a dust collector bag, the fats or oils permeate the media and rapid plug the bag beyond rejuvenation. Membrane laminates will foul even more rapidly. The solution lies in BWF’s CS17®, CS31® and/or CS29® fluorocarbon based treatments which not only repel moisture, but also fats and oils.
