Steel Industry
Steel is the world’s most important engineering and construction material. It is used in every aspect of our lives. Unfortunately the steel making process leads to certain airborne dust emissions.
Raw materials used for cokes and sinter production such as iron ore, metallurgical coal and limestone can cause dust issues when loading and unloading ships, feeding hoppers and during transport with conveyor belts.
Outside storage of these raw materials is vulnerable to mass loss caused by strong winds and can potentially cause dust issues for the sites surroundings.
Wuvio offers solutions for dust reduction:
- Our stockpile sealers or crusting solutions create a hardened layer that keep dust from becoming air born on various ores (including fine ores such as Moirana, Carajas and Tubarao), limestone and coal.
- Wuvio’s wetting agent allows for hopper loading to be done with less water and with reduces dust emissions.
- Foaming is a technique used for inline treatment with increased active duration up to 30 days, which allows for minimized water usage and moisture levels on the belt.
- Freko-Bind is an agglomeration solution that binds fine dust particles and can be used for treatment at a single application point.
