Dust Control Treatment

Mining, crushing, and conveying of coal, stone aggregates, and minerals produce the potential for troublesome dust generation. Aquatrol Technologies offers a full line of additives designed to help utility plants and mining operations meet permitting requirements and environmental compliance for fugitive dust emissions.

Aquatrol’s chemical dust suppressant offerings provide the optimum in dust control with the minimum amount of water and moisture. Our dust control programs provide better results and reduce dust suppression costs compared to the use of water or mechanical collectors.

An outline of the types of products available from Aquatrol, to address your dust suppression needs, is presented below:

Wetting Agents

• Surfactant formulations added to water to allow it to more effectively wet and agglomerate small particulates of the material being processed.
• AquaWET Series: These are formulations consisting of a single or blend of surfactants. Depending on the need, additional organic and inorganic components may be incorporated to optimize product performance

Foaming Agents

• Best used at crushing and material transfer points, Aquatrol’s foam based products insure optimum particulate capture at low liquid feed volumes.
• AquaFM Series – Agents used primarily in crusher applications to capture particles while minimizing the amount of moisture being introduced.

Crusting Agents

• These treatments are used for long term storage applications.
• AquaCRST Series – The AquaCRST series are formulated according to several factors including the degree of weather resistance, the flex or elasticity required, as well as the tensile strength for the pile.
