The dust pollution can be more severe if we process of grass type pelletA number of equipments have been developed to overcome this, as stated in the tables below:


 
Noise elimination and air pollution needs to be done to the acceptable norms. Considerations such as ease of operation, maintenance and the cost are some important things so that these devices can be applied and reached a level that is safe for the environment. Selection of plant location is quite far from the people settlement are also alternatives to reduce the cost of using the equipments for the elimination of pollutants.
