Industrial Air Filtration System Design in Texas
Capture dust at the source, keep filters clear, and stop paying to move air you don’t need. We design collection systems for Texas plants from readings on your floor.

A Collector Is Only as Good as Its Design
A bigger collector rarely fixes a system sized by guesswork. Watch for these signs:
- Dust escaping hoods and coating beams and machines
- Filters clogging early or blinding in Texas summer humidity
- Dust settling inside ducts and choking airflow
- The fan running full speed while stations sit idle

Equipment Chosen for the Dust Your Process Makes
Wood dust, metal dust, weld fume, and coolant mist need different collectors. From our Allen office, we handle baghouse dust collector design, cartridge dust collector design across Texas, and fume extraction system design for Dallas fabrication shops.
Baghouse Collectors
For heavy, abrasive, or hot dust in foundries, cement, and grain handling. Our baghouse design matches bags and cleaning to your load.
Cartridge Collectors
For fine dust where floor space is tight. We design cartridge collectors around Ultra-Web nanofiber filters and the right air-to-cloth ratio.
Fume and Mist Extraction
For welding, thermal spray, and CNC machining. Our fume extraction designs pull fume from the breathing zone and keep coolant mist off floors.
Sized From Your Readings, Not a Rule of Thumb
Our dust collection system design follows four steps.
1. Measure Airflow, Pressure, and Dust
We record airflow, static pressure, and particle levels and analyze dust samples when needed. Particle size and combustibility set velocity targets and NFPA 660 explosion protection.
2. Place Hoods Where Dust Forms
Close pickup points capture more with less air and stay clear of operators.
3. Size Ducts to Keep Dust Moving
Heavy dust like lead needs about 4,500 fpm; weld fume needs 2,000 to 2,500. Static pressure across every branch sets the fan.
4. Receive the Design Package
Equipment and filter specifications, ductwork plan, and fan sizing, ready for installation.
Lower Operating Costs, Planned Before Installation
Full Cost Before You Commit
We estimate installation, operating, and maintenance costs before work begins. No surprises. Period.
Ecogate On-Demand Airflow
Wasted airflow is wasted money. Ecogate sends suction only to active stations and reports 50 to 75% lower fan electricity use, depending on usage.
One Team After Startup
The team that designs your air filtration system also installs, maintains, and supplies its filters.

Frequently Asked Questions
FAQs
1. How much does dust collection system design cost?
It depends on total airflow, pickup points, material, collector location, and how much existing equipment can stay. A welding cell and a plant-wide system differ widely.
2. Our plant added machines. Do we need a new system?
Not always. We check whether your collector and fan can carry the added airflow and static pressure. The fix may be a new branch, a larger fan, or a second collector.
3. Does a new dust collector need TCEQ authorization?
Many projects can be authorized through a Permit by Rule under 30 TAC Chapter 106. Replacing existing equipment may fall under §106.264, which requires notifying TCEQ within 10 days. Confirm with TCEQ.
4. Should the collector go inside or outside?
It depends on dust combustibility, floor space, noise, and whether filtered air returns inside. If the collector exhausts outdoors, plan filtered make-up air to replace what it removes.
