Analysis of Ventilation Survey in Cement Sector Packing Plant
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Environmental Health and Safety
Abstract
Ventilation is a key factor in ensuring good air quality, occupational safety, and comfort in industrial settings. This thesis outlines the findings of a detailed ventilation assessment carried out in a cement packing plant located in Durg during September 2024. The primary aim of the study was to evaluate how effectively the plant?s natural ventilation system operates and whether it meets legal standards set by the Indian Factories Act (1948) and international guidelines, including those from ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers). Measurements were taken using anemometers and temperature sensors at various points throughout the facility. The results show that airflow, temperature, and humidity levels fall within the acceptable range, ensuring a safe and comfortable working environment. This research highlights the critical need for regular monitoring and improvement of ventilation systems and provides suggestions for boosting air movement through both design modifications and operational changes.
