Effective dust suppression is becoming mandatory as numerous health and environmental concerns associated with excessive airborne particulate matter are being raised regarding air quality on construction sites, and in mining, tunneling etc.
Dust harms the environment, compromises human health, negatively affects communities and reduces overall business productivity.
Currently, traditional methods for dust suppression demand large amounts of water spraying, which requires high fuel consumption and emits significant quantities of polluting gases.
DusTech is a dust-suppressing biopolymer designed for easy application. It can be used effectively on a variety of dirt roads, including mine access roads, exploration roads, construction sites, municipal roads and roads in indigenous villages. It can also be applied to sand dunes and material stockpiles to reduce dust and control erosion caused by wind.
When applied, DusTech improves particle agglutination, seals the molecular matrix and improves air quality.
DusTech requires less water spraying compared to conventional methods, and with each re-application, smaller doses of the biopolymer are required to ensure surface stability.
Our non-toxic, inert* solidification reagents convert tunneling and drilling spoils to a manageable solid, on-site, in minutes. The solidified waste can then pass Slump and Paint Filter Tests, and typically requires a dose of less than 1.0% wt/wt.
The solidified slurry is transferred to dump trucks to be transported directly to the final disposal site. It reduces risks, lowers operational costs, and promotes a safer, more sustainable waste management approach in tunneling projects.
