Dust Suppression Systems

 Dust generated from coal mining, storage and transportation is a constant irritant that can pose serious threats to worker health and efficiency, besides being a safety hazard and a potential source of tension with the communities where you operate in. Managing dust, however, has become an increasingly costly challenge, and one that can have an adverse effect on operational efficiency. Water, commonly used as a dust suppressant because of its perceived low cost, must be continually re-applied in order to be effective. With water becoming scarce in most areas - coupled with the rising cost of fuel, labour and equipment needed to transport water to remote areas - water is no longer the cost-effective option that it is perceived to be.
Dust Suppressants from 3M provide a practical, durable and effective alternative to water and other conventional agents used to suppress dust. Easy to use and efficient, Dust Suppressants from 3M increase productivity, improve the working environment, slash operating costs, besides achieving as much as 70% reduction in water consumption.

3M™ SDS-2 Surfactant Based Dust Suppression
3M™ SDS-2 Dust Suppressant is a water management tool with unique properties and characteristics enabling SDS-2 to be an effective wetting agent wherever dust suppression and control are required. 3M™ SDS-2 Dust Suppressant facilitates effective water management in dust suppression & control, especially in remote areas and places where water is scarce. Used in extremely low dilution rates, SDS-2 lowers surface tension to enable the wetting agent to penetrate and effectively knock down dust particles before being affected by wind conditions.

3M™ LSP Series Dust Suppression for Stock Piles & Transportation
3M™ Dust Suppressant LSP-1000C is a water-soluble formulation of wetting, penetrating and agglomerating agents, used to reduce or eliminate dust emissions from coal, ore and mineral stockpiles during transportation and storage. Once applied to a surface using conventional spray equipment, the LSP-1000C solution dries to form a thin, flexible and continuous film that can effectively suppress dust for extended periods. Laboratory and field tests have demonstrated that 3M™ Dust Suppressant LSP-1000C provides comprehensive and long lasting dust control, much better than water or other conventional dust suppression products.
