Desafío

Excessive airborne dust particulate matter caused by civil works has increasingly become an environmental and health concern. Dust harms the environment, compromises human health, negatively affects communities and reduces overall business productivity. Traditional methods for dust suppression usually require large amounts of water—typically 5-9 water trucks per day—which is costly both logistically and environmentally.

Solución

MetaFLO first applied 3.0% of DusTech biopolymer, which was diluted directly in a water truck and applied with a lateritic gravel and silt soil characterization. By promoting greater agglutination between soil particles, DusTech significantly reduces dust suspended in the air. It creates a layer on the surface of the soil that minimizes the release of fine particles into the air through a clumping process. A second layer was applied after 17 hours, with a 2.0% dosage.
