Air Quality for Worker Safety is Our Business
Air Quality Test / Dust Hazard
Process Environments has over 30 years of experience in designing, manufacturing, installing, and servicing dust collection and industrial ventilation equipment. We use high-quality equipment from top-tier manufacturers, including Donaldson, US Duct, and Boss Products.
Unlike general distributors, Process Environments delivers custom, turnkey air quality solutions—from testing and hazard analysis to system design, installation, and compliance support. Our expertise goes beyond simply selling equipment; we ensure your system is built for efficiency, safety, and long-term compliance.
The Importance of Air Quality Testing
Poor air quality controls can contribute to severe health and safety concerns. Proper testing is critical to help prevent respiratory issues in employees, minimize contamination risks, and limit explosions. It is also a key step in maintaining compliance with all applicable regulatory bodies. Air quality testing can identify contaminants such as:
- Mold
- Radon
- Particulate matter (PM10, PM2.5)
- Combustible dust (wood, metal, chemical, and organic materials)
- Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from solvents and coatings
Testing typically involves a site and equipment evaluation and sampling. We can make recommendations for air handling, ventilation, and dust collection equipment based on your test results.
Dust Hazard Analysis
During a dust hazard analysis, our team conducts a systematic review to identify, evaluate, and mitigate combustible dust hazards, including flash fires and explosions. We use NFPA 652-19 standards as a basis for evaluation to ensure compliance with OSHA’s NEP on combustible dust. Processes and items are classified as non-hazardous, combustible, or explosive.
Air Quality Regulations
Meeting air quality and dust hazard regulations requires more than just installing equipment. Our team ensures that your ventilation and dust collection systems comply with regulations from:
- National Fire Protection Association
- Occupational Safety and Health Administration
- Texas Commission on Environmental Quality
- United States Environmental Protection Agency
We provide the documentation, testing, and system adjustments necessary to help facilities meet the requirements established under OSHA’s National Combustible Dust Emphasis Program and avoid regulatory fines
Each air quality system we design and install meets your plant’s specific needs. Our team can match you with the correct Donaldson dust collectors, Boss Products’ NFPA fire explosion protection equipment, and DiversiTech equipment to control combustible dust risks.
