Enhancing Industrial Operations: Solutions for Dust Suppression & Slurry Stabilization

In industries like mining, construction & manufacturing, controlling dust & managing wet slurries are two of the most persistent operational challenges. Unchecked dust poses serious health risks & environmental concerns, while unstable slurries lead to downtime & inefficient material handling. Innovative polymer-based solutions, Water$ave Dust Suppression & SAP HD, offer cost-effective & sustainable approaches to tackling these problems head-on.

Water$ave Dust Suppression (DS): A Smarter Approach to Dust Control

Dust control is essential for maintaining air quality, ensuring worker safety & reducing environmental impact. Traditional methods, such as frequent watering, are resource-intensive & often ineffective over time. Water$ave Dust Suppression is an advanced polymer-based solution that optimizes dust control while minimizing water usage.

How It Works

Water$ave DS is a lineal, anionic polymer that dissolves in water, increasing viscosity at low concentrations. When applied, it binds with fine dust particles making them heavier & preventing them from becoming airborne. This results in:

• Long-Lasting Dust Control – Reducing the need for continuous watering
• Improved Water Efficiency – Less water required for effective suppression
• Enhanced Health & Safety – Lower dust exposure for workers & the environment

Application 

Water$ave DS is easy to apply & works effectively in a range of traffic conditions:

• Light Traffic: 100g per 1000L of water, treating up to 350–500m²
• Heavy Traffic: 200g per 1000L of water, treating up to 500m²

To maximize effectiveness, the solution should be added slowly to a water cart & be agitated for 15–30 minutes before application. If the solution rests for over 30 minutes, re-agitate to maintain effectiveness & reduce gel-blocking.

SAP HD: The Ultimate Slurry Stabilization Solution

Beyond dust suppression, industries also struggle with managing wet slurries & mud. These materials are often too thick to pump yet too liquid to shovel, leading to inefficiencies & lost production time. SAP HD provides a fast and effective solution by solidifying slurries into manageable materials.

How SAP HD Works

SAP HD is a high-performance superabsorbent polymer that rapidly absorbs up to 300 times its weight in water. When added to wet slurries, it quickly stabilizes the material, making it easy to handle, transport, and dispose of.

Key benefits of SAP HD include:

• Rapid Absorption – Works within minutes to stabilize slurries
• Increased Productivity – Reduces downtime caused by water ingress
• Safe & Non-Toxic – Complies with Worksafe & GHS standards
• Simple Application – No specialized equipment or skills required

Application 

SAP HD is available in 17kg pails or bulk quantities, making it suitable for projects of all sizes. The recommended usage is:

• 1kg–2kg per cubic meter of slurry
• Application rate may increase in saline water
• Mix manually or with machinery for even distribution
• Once stabilized, the material can be removed with standard equipment

Why These Solutions Matter

Combining Water$ave Dust Suppression & SAP HD provides a comprehensive approach to dust & slurry management. These solutions:

• Reduce operational costs by minimizing water usage & labour requirements
• Enhance worker safety by preventing airborne dust & stabilizing hazardous slurries
• Improve environmental sustainability with non-toxic, biodegradable formulations
• Increase efficiency in mining, construction & industrial operations

By integrating these advanced polymers into daily operations, industries can achieve cleaner, safer, & more productive worksites.
