Minimizing Diesel Emission Risks with ASPRA L5000 Air Purifiers

Protecting Workers from Diesel Emissions in Indoor Machinery Testing

Achieving Safer Work Environments with Advanced Recirculation Air Purifiers

The indoor operation of diesel-powered construction machinery generates high levels of ultrafine particles (UFPs), posing significant health risks to workers. To comply with strict safety regulations, businesses must effectively control airborne emissions.

To tackle this challenge, ASPRA L 5000 Recirculation Air Purifiers were installed at inbound, outbound, and workshop zones, effectively capturing diesel emissions and ultrafine particles before they could impact worker health. This innovative solution ensures safe air quality levels while offering a cost-effective alternative to traditional high-volume ventilation methods.

About the Project

Testing and operating diesel-powered construction machinery indoors presents a serious health risk due to the high concentration of ultrafine particles (UFPs) released into the air. These particles are small enough to be inhaled deep into the lungs, increasing the risk of respiratory diseases and long-term health complications.

Conventional solutions often rely on high-volume ventilation, which is energy-intensive and costly. Instead, ASPRA L 5000 Recirculation Air Purifiers were strategically installed to purify the air directly at the source of emissions, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards while minimizing operational costs. Indoor air quality sensors were also added for 24/7 monitoring, ensuring a safe, controlled environment.

Detailed Approach

Problem Description

Testing and configuring construction machinery (such as mini excavators, wheel loaders, and compact track loaders) indoors requires long operational hours, generating high concentrations of ultrafine particles (UFPs).

These airborne pollutants pose serious health risks to workers, particularly in enclosed environments where particles linger in the air. To meet strict air quality regulations, it is critical to control diesel emissions effectively.

The Solution

To ensure safe working conditions, ASPRA L 5000 Recirculation Air Purifiers were strategically installed at key locations including inbound, outbound, and workshop zones. These systems efficiently capture and remove ultrafine particles, preventing exposure-related health risks.

Additionally, indoor air quality sensors were implemented to provide 24/7 monitoring of PM10, PM2.5, and PM1 concentrations, ensuring continuous control over workplace air quality.

The Result

The ASPRA air purification system successfully reduced diesel motor emissions and airborne particles, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards. As a result, the air quality in indoor machinery testing environments was significantly improved.

This approach has proven to be an effective, sustainable alternative to high-volume ventilation, offering major cost savings while enhancing operational flexibility.
