Dust from mining operations can present a number of challenges, the most obvious being environmental pollution of your mine site and nearby communities. There is also the potential of damage to equipment, safety risks due to poor visibility, increased maintenance of unpaved roads and the combustion risk from coal dust.
Arkomon® polymer emulsions or surfactants are selected for maximum dust control effect and minimum environmental impact. Application of the dust control solution is carefully controlled to minimize the use of both chemical and water. Performance is managed to ensure compliance with local clean air requirements and legislation.
