Vent Pipe
(OP)
Hi
I have a vent pipe that is suppossed to extract air and dust from a salt and brine tank, however, it continuosly gets clogged causing the salt dust to come out of the safety release feature and fill up the entire room with salt dust. How can I correct this.

Apparently, you have a design problem on your hands.
Several possible suggestions of the root of problem:
1. Velocity NOT sufficient
2. Undersized fan capacity
3. Undersized Hp rating
4. Incorrect Duct size(s)
5. Incorrect duct routing / installation / design.
6. etc
The fellow readers will probably add many more items to consider.

If internal revisions are not possible, installing a rod-out tee right at the tank would help. Probably with a knock-out pot also to keep the rest of the vent pipe dry.
I am guessing that the dust could just as well settle back into the brine in your application, and that the main function of this vent is to remove the air used for blowing salt into the tank.

Or add more vents.
