Emerson announced the launch of its newest solution for dust collection and monitoring and control. Used in a wide range of industries from mining to chemicals, power, food processing and more, the system can handle materials that generate significant dust and particulate emissions.

The easy-to-deploy solution integrates with existing plant automation systems, extends dust collector equipment life and boost overall operational efficiency. Monitoring and control can significantly reduce maintenance costs and total cost of ownership. For example, extending filter life by as much as one year alone can save up to $18,000.
