Dust control systems for discharge of bulk material

A dust control system, comprising:

• a support structure, wherein the support structure comprises a frame;
• a plurality of outlets coupled to the frame;
• a container disposed about at least one of the plurality of outlets;
• and
• a dust control self-sealing shroud coupled to a discharge gate of a container, wherein the dust control self-sealing shroud comprises a flexibly collapsible material to mate to the outlet when the dust control self-sealing shroud is in an expanded position.

A dust control method, comprising:

• aligning a plurality of dust control dampers with a plurality of outlets of a frame of a support structure, wherein the plurality of dust control dampers comprises at least a first dust control damper and a second dust control damper, wherein the plurality of dust control dampers are configured to automatically maintain a closed position;
• receiving a first container of bulk material onto the frame of the support structure, wherein the container is aligned above the first dust control damper and a first outlet of the plurality of outlets of the frame;
• aligning a first discharge gate of the first container with a first dust control damper and the first outlet;
• discharging the bulk material of the first container via the first discharge gate;
• transitioning the first dust control damper from a closed position to an open position;
• maintaining the second dust control damper aligned with a second outlet of the plurality of outlets in a closed position during the discharge of the bulk material;
• and
• controlling dust emissions associated with the discharge of the bulk material by forming a seal between the second dust control damper and the second outlet.
