After being collected over the furnace, the silica fume must be transferred,
cooled, and physically trapped. The large pipe on the left is bringing the
silica fume from the furnaces. The vertical elements are cyclones that are
used to remove oversize and other unwanted materials. The large building is
the bag house where the fume is captured.
