an Effective Dust Suppression Solution"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dust control is tough to get right and far from a one-size-fits-all game.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Crafting an effective dust suppression solution can often contain multiple elements while raising many things to consider. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a mining context, each stage of the process can require its own unique methods. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This leads to a combination of site-specific tactics that bring a complete dust suppression solution together.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Areas that need dust suppression coverage include:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Resource exploration\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drilling and blasting\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Excavation and earthworks<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Product haulage\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Minerals processing\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And offsite transport to the port and beyond.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A pit-to-port strategy that includes the above elements can ensure that mining activity doesn\u2019t impact workers, communities, nearby farmers, and the environment. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dust is also hard on machinery, leading to shorter maintenance cycles and increased downtime.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Something that miners are keen to minimise.<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And, with dust regulations tightening in Australia and worldwide and water becoming a more precious resource than ever, miners must build an effective dust suppression solution tailored to each operational step. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s now take a deep dive into the different areas in mining where dust suppression techniques are needed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Facing the Dust Challenge in Mining Applications<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3><strong>Drilling and Blasting<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drilling generates ultra-fine hazardous dust, and it\u2019s a big challenge to suppress because it\u2019s dynamic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With a high surface tension and surface charge, water simply can\u2019t work fast enough to capture dynamic dust.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Waste piles or \u2018drill cuttings\u2019 also contain a lot of very fine, hazardous dust.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The GRT Solution:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/globalroadtechnology.com\/\/grt-12x\/\"><b>GRT:12X <\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">super-activates drill-tank water to capture fine hazardous dust.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/globalroadtechnology.com\/\/grt-dc-binder\/\"><b>GRT: DC Binder <\/b><\/a>is a cost-effective, broad-effect dust and erosion control product, locking down drill cuttings and the blast area.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Mining Haul Roads<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The dust that\u2019s driven up from unsealed haul roads impacts the visibility, communication and respiratory health of mine workers and the broader community.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unfortunately, continual watering only leads to road degradation, increases slipping potential and more dust.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The GRT Solution:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/globalroadtechnology.com\/\/grt-haul-loc\/\"><b>GRT: Haul Loc<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is another cost-effective dust suppression solution that expands the dust-suppressing effects 4x to 5x times longer than water alone. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Haul Loc significantly reduces water consumption through regular dust suppression techniques, saving fuel, hours and resources.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Underground Processing and Product Transfer<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Underground mining produces coal and silica dust that is, by nature, water-repellant. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite adding more volume, the finest and most dangerous particles simply bounce off sprayed water.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Crushing, processing and transferring ore can generate large amounts of airborne dust around the ROM, Crushers, OHP, Transfer Points and product stockpiles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The GRT Solutions:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/globalroadtechnology.com\/\/grt-activate-ug\/\"><b>GRT: Activate UG<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is designed to super-activate the water used to control dust at the longwall, continuous mining, and in hard rock operations.\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This causes the water to efficiently capture airborne dust particles, dropping them out of suspension and to the ground. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/globalroadtechnology.com\/\/grt-activate\/\"><b>GRT: Activate<\/b><\/a> is best used in material crushing, transfer and handling situations, optimising the ore and water conditions for effective dust control \u2013 tailored to your needs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GRT\u2019s range of products is Australian, designed and tested to work in the most rugged environments, and offers a turn-key solution to your dust suppression requirements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Dust and Erosion Control:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In open mining sites, where wind and water cause erosion, dust is often produced, affecting earthworks, stockpiles, tailings and other land users.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The GRT Solution:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/globalroadtechnology.com\/\/grt-soil-loc-rural\/\"><b>GRT Soil-Loc <\/b><\/a><span
