Dust Suppressants and Control Solutions for Industry and Environmental Protection

Dust is everywhere! When to use what type of dust solution

A major Australian cement manufacturer maintains several large, open-air material stockpiles at a coastal facility in Adelaide, South Australia. 

A coal port had a city grow around it and the lack of dust control measures meant coastal winds directed plumes of dust towards high-density urban areas creating the coal dust issue. Click through to hear the solution.

A plywood producer with a large street-side chip pile wanted to stop the dusty chips blowing onto and into their neighbours dust-sensitive buildings. The piles are fed by blower stackers which can be directed according to which pile is being filled.

When a truck with the bed raised blew over sideways in a sudden gust of wind in mid-western USA, safety was the primary concern. Truck dumps tend to be elevated to give room for the dumped material to be processed so the wind speeds are higher as are the risks.

A Middle East steel pelletizing plant built on reclaimed coastal land next to an environmentally attractive harbour wanted a durable all-weather way to protect the neighbouring area.

A solar field supplier wished to refine their design to cut the cost of the mirror supports in a windy location. A related side benefit was that they could have the parabolic mirrors orientated to continue to generate electricity in wind storms that would otherwise require the mirrors to be rotated to the “stow” position facing into the ground.

A large steel pelletising operation has multiple piles spread over a peninsula of land that is upwind of a popular tourist and residential beachfront area.

The operators at an energy generation facility with air-coolers were frustrated. Every time the wind blew, their generation efficiency dropped.
