Dust control is one of the most pervasive issues at mine sites and processing plants, where large volumes of material handling can create health, safety and environmental concerns. While water sprays are often used to help manage dust, this method is largely ineffective as water droplets are too large to effectively keep bulk solids wet.
Nalco Water helps enhance dust control by:
- Using advanced surfactant chemistry to optimize water surface tension and create smaller droplets for improved material coverage
- Offering foam dust control solutions that expand water coverage to support effective dust suppression with lower water usage
- Leveraging a global network of experts to deliver locally informed insights that reflect regional conditions and site‑specific operational challenges
- Applying solutions across key application areas such as conveyors, transfer points and material handling zones
