JAMMU: Director Agriculture Jammu S. Arvinder Singh Reen today inaugurated and commissioned the fully automated pulse jet bag filter at the Plant no. 2 of Seed Processing Plant Government Agriculture Engineering Workshop Jammu. The newly installed facility has a filtration capacity of 64 bags, powered by a 15HP CG motor and blower.

The programme was attended by Agriculture Research Engineer Er. Vinay Kumar Bhardwaj, Er. Arshad Hussain AAE, Er. Rajeev Magotra SMS-II (Engg.), and the staff of the Agriculture Engineering Workshop. Director Agriculture, S. Arvinder Singh Reen, highlighted the significant benefits of the pulse jet bag filter in enhancing the air quality and operational efficiency of the seed processing plant.

ā€œThis marks the first successful commissioning of such environmental control equipment in Jammu & Kashmir UT, which is fully controlled through an electronic panel. This system automatically opens rotary valves at regular intervals to collect dust particles and other particulate matter in the collection bag and release clean air into the atmosphere through an exhaust openingā€ he added.

Agriculture Research Engineer, Er. Vinay Kumar Bhardwaj explained that the pulse jet bag filter, with a processing capacity of 5.0 TPH, has been specially designed and fabricated to meet the requirements of the Jammu seed processing plant and procured under the CAPEX Budget after following all necessary formalities. ā€œThe installation of this equipment is a crucial step towards mitigating the environmental hazards caused by dust pollution in and around the Seed Processing Complexā€ he informed. The advanced filtration system is expected to significantly reduce dust pollution, improve the working environment, and ensure compliance with environmental standards.
