Greetings,
We have a vacuum drying process which in which a slurry is dried in a reactor to a powder. The problem is that aerosols/dust (sized <10 micron) during the drying go past the filters on the reactor and into the vacuum pump system, leaving a tar like substance that requires a lot of maintenance on the vacuum system to get rid of.
Been looking into a solution that could protect the pump equipment from this dust but have had no luck due to limited space in the facility to install large equipment on the inlet pipe.
I have limited knowledge on systems/processes like this and thus wondering if anyone here have any ideas how to tackle this problem or have experience from something similar.
Thanks
