Dst MoFoam

Application Environment

Dust is a natural by-product of materials handling and processing, be it in mineral extraction, reclamation, waste management or any similar environment. At each stage of the handling cycle - transferring, loading, crushing screening or stockpiling - the equipment that operators use creates dust.

Failure to limit the effects of dust may cause a severe negative impact, in operational compliance and ultimately financial terms. Of immediate concern to operators may be the inefficient running of handling equipment, complicated by bad weather conditions that then contributes to higher contamination and higher maintenance costs. However, an even greater threat may exist in the reaction of the neighboring communities to higher nuisance dust levels. Complaints and bad publicity often lead to investigation by the local authority and/or environmental agencies. Investigation can develop into enforcement, financial penalty and even site closure.

Products Aim

Dst MoFoam is specifically formulated to suppress dust created by machinery at material handling points. By minimizing dust generation, operators protect essential equipment whilst demonstrating respect for neighbors and environmental compliance.

Product Description

Dst MoFoam is a concentrated, high-pressure foaming agent that penetrates dust particles. Used in place of traditional 'wet sprays' at material handling points, it effectively creates a blanket to prevent dust emission. The foam bubbles have a much larger surface area than untreated water capturing the particles more efficiently. Moreover, variable water ratio and flow rate characteristics make Dst MoFoam ideal for environments where water supply is limited or operators seek to reduce water consumption.

Installing the correct dust suppression system in the right application environment is critical to reducing operational costs and ensuring effective compliance. Air Spectrum Environmental supplies dust suppression chemicals and application systems specifically designed to address any dust problem, regardless of its location.
