FORT WORTH, Texas, June 4, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via PRWEB - ACF Tarp and Awning, manufacturing exclusively for VZ Environmental , a leading edge oilfield support services company, announced today it has been awarded a patent by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for its VSoxz™ Silica Dust Filter.
"VZ Environmental's mission in designing a frac dust filter is to take care of the health and safety of workers at frac sites from the long term harmful effects of silica dust," said company founder Carol Van Zandt Jones. "VSoxz™ fulfills this goal by not only significantly controlling silica dust particles but also by performing it in a cost-effective and uncomplicated manner."
U.S. Patent No. 8,702,849, dated April 22, 2014, covers fabric air screens or filters that cover exhaust air ducts, ports or hatches in storage containers for storing aggregate materials. The fine mesh material of the reusable filter is easily cleaned and allows high positive pressure air to escape while trapping tiny silica dust particulates.

The filter also does not require a separate hopper or other container to collect trapped dust.
