Dust Suppression Systems

A plant and process survey is crucial to determine whether dust suppression or dust prevention is required. Most operations may require both, the outcome of the plant and process survey will be a deciding factor of the system’s overall effectiveness and efficiencies of dust control and management will be determined by whether or not the system is configured for your specific needs.

DAS Product

Used on both permanent and non-permanent surfaces with high traffic volume. 
 
Our leading bitumen-based sealant with superior dust control and waterproofing properties giving rise to a superior riding surface. It reduces water usage, enhances road stability, and prevents dust concentration increasing visibility and safety. The product remains effective regardless of climate and once cured, does not leach. Malleability of bitumen after curing makes the stabilized surface easy to repair.

HydroWet

Suitable for permanent and non-permanent haul roads with high fines.  

An environmentally friendly, easy to apply, surface-active agent that reduces the surface tension of water, allowing water to permeate more easily into the roadbed and prevents fines from becoming dislodged, reducing dust emissions and enhancing compaction.

HydroPlus

Used in material handling points and high-pressure mist systems.  

A surface-active agent that reduces the surface tension of water thereby improving its wetting properties, even for hydrophobic dust particles and respirable dust particles (typical particle size of less than 10micron). The product is ratio fed into the feed water supply of the high-pressure mist system to achieve the smallest size water molecules to agglomerate with airborne and/or fugitive dust particles.

High Pressure Mist Systems

Dust suppression systems (also known as misting systems) employ high pressure (50 bar) and low volume of water in the form of an atomised mist to capture dust that is already airborne and bring it back to the source through agglomeration. Dust is also prevented from traveling due to the fine mist curtain that is created around your material handling point. Dust suppression and dust prevention systems are not exclusive; many operations have both systems configured to effectively control dust. While dust prevention can be used in material handling operations, dust suppression is the preferred option, owing to low water consumption, especially in areas where water is scarce. This option also minimizes water addition to material. The technology’s effectiveness in capturing respirable airborne dust and the method’s ability to cover specific areas, results in minimal use of water and chemicals. Dust suppression is also more flexible compared to other methods of dust management as it comprises of a tailored approach. It is cheaper to install and maintain a dust suppression system compared to a dust extraction system for example. Dust suppression systems also doubles as a coolant for furnace discharge material being conveyed.

Benefits of using a dust-a-side dust suppression system:

– Reduces respirable dust
– Reduces visual dust
– Minimises water usage
– Minimises conveyor slippage
– Eliminates excessive moisture content in the material/ore
– Reduces chute/screen blockages
– Improves housekeeping standards
– Increases safe work areas during operation

Low Pressure Mist Systems

There are two distinct philosophies to control dust with water during materials handling processes.

1. Low pressure (< 10 bar) and high water volume systems will be employed. This treatment
philosophy is referred to as dust prevention. The spray system will discharge water directly on the material at the beginning of the transfer point. Being low pressure, the flow of water and droplets sizes are much bigger and hence referred to as wetting systems.

Dust suppression system applications:
 
  • Stockpiles
  • Conveyors
  • Rail Wagons
  • Transfer Points
  • Tipping Areas
  • Loading Terminals
  • Storage Facilities
  • Demolition Sites
  • Drilling and Blasting Sites
  • Excavations
  • Quarries
  • Rock Crushing Plants

Fog Cannons 

Fog cannons are an effective option for dust suppression in open areas that require a large reach such as mine sites, quarries, construction sites, demolition sites and other industrial areas. Fog cannons are mobile and can be fixed on a trailer or skid and oscillate which is ideal for changes in wind direction or dust-generating activities.  

How it works? 

Highly pressurized water is pumped through a series of jet nozzles which is dispersed through the air by a powerful fan, turning water into mist through atomisation. This effectively matches visible and respirable dust particle sizes for effective, large scale, dust suppression. Fog cannons are most popularly utilized as a mist blanket or curtain between dust generating activities and communities.  

Applications:

  • Plant tip areas 
  • Opencast blasting areas 
  • Stockpiles/Stockyards  
  • Mine Dumps 
  • Industrial Plants
  • Tailings/waste dams 
  • Other applications:

Benefits of using dust-a-side fog cannons: 

  • Very effective at suppressing airborne dust in open areas
  • Significant reduction in water usage compared to low pressure watering systems
  • Ensures coverage of large areas through adjustable throw angles and oscillation
  • Easy to install and position
  • No harsh chemicals are released into the environment
