DusTech migliora la qualità dell'aria in un cantiere edile

Il soppressore di polveri MetaFLO ha aiutato un cantiere a migliorare la qualità dell'aria attraverso un'efficace soppressione delle polveri, contribuendo a risparmiare sui costi, ad aumentare la produttività e a favorire l'ambiente.

Posizione

Alto Horizonte, GO – Brazil

Sfida

Excessive airborne dust particulate matter raises numerous health and environmental concerns during construction projects and civil works. As a result, effective dust suppression is becoming mandatory to reduce the harmful effects of dust on the environment and the health of workers and surrounding communities. Traditional methods for dust suppression usually require large quantities of water, utilizing 5-9 water trucks per day—which can be costly.

Soluzione

MetaFLO first applied 3.0% of DusTech biopolymer; diluted directly in a water truck and applied to the site, with a clay soil characterization. DusTech promotes greater agglutination between soil particles, significantly reducing dust suspended in the air and improving air quality. It creates a layer on the surface of the soil that reduces the release of fine particles into the air through a clumping process. 17 hours after the first application, a second layer of DusTech was applied using a 2.0% dosage.

Prima e dopo

Esito

✓ RISPARMIO COSTI

Fuel consumption and emissions of polluting gases were reduced by 46% thanks to DusTech, and costs for labor and machinery went down by 43%.

✓ RISPARMIO IDRICO

160,000 liters of water were saved per day, representing a 53% reduction in water consumption throughout the project. The need for additional moistening was also reduced.

✓ QUALITÀ DELLA STRADA

Soil agglutination was enhanced, while safety and traffic visibility also increased. Most importantly, air quality improved so that employees and nearby communities could breathe better.
