Midwest Industrial Supply
Environmentally safe dust control

Haul Pro from Midwest Industrial Supply Inc. is designed as a long-term solution to control dust and surface deterioration on unpaved haul roads. An environmentally safe product, it is effective in controlling PM10 and PM2.5 in large areas. The resin-modified emulsion product’s high-performance chemical properties allow it to be used in a full-range of haul road applications in various climates and weather conditions. It can be applied using a standard spray truck.

Nesco
Dual-action spray manifolds

The DirtSquirt Wheel Wash System from Nesco is equipped with galvanized, dual-action spray manifolds that have 200-psi nozzles. According to Nesco, the wheel wash system runs at a much higher pressure than other wheel washes, using less than 60 gallons of water per truck. It can be installed as a stationary wash or housed in a trailer with a surge tank for portable applications. The system uses a 200-psi pump module available in capacities ranging from 40 to 320 gpm to supply spray nozzles that can be configured to wash tires alone or in conjunction with the truck body and undercarriage. A sensor within the armored housing is used to automate the wash and control both the frequency and duration of the wash cycle. A surge tank with a level switch and fill solenoid ensures that the pump is ready to go when a truck enters the wheel wash.

Jadair
‘Water miser’ clarifier

The Jadair Settler/Clarifier system provides simple, effective water clarification without requiring any settling ponds for the water or solids or energy-intensive requirements. The company says that this transportable, compact system is a “water miser” and was developed to deal with the inorganic solids that are most often encountered in the mining industry. Dirty water enters in and clarified water exits for immediate reuse. The solids are thick — typically a thick mud — and often only can be removed with the company’s specially designed paddle conveyor system. The solids are handled simply and have been conditioned to continue to release water naturally. The settler/clarifier system can handle 200 gpm to more than 10,000 gpm, and the highly automated controls are now Ethernet capable for integration into overall plant control systems. Use of polymers to enhance the settling characteristics are integral to the system, which is designed on a modular building block approach so that various combinations can be easily readily mixed and matched for particular needs.

Dust Control Technology
Captures, controls maximum dust

Dust Control Technology featured its flagship DustBoss DB-60 and its smaller DustBoss DB-30 during this year’s ConExpo-Con/Agg in Las Vegas. Both ducted fan units are designed specifically to optimize particle size and velocity for maximum dust capture and control. The DustBoss DB-60 is built to handle bigger jobs, with a throw of more than 200 feet and the capability of blanketing a 21,000-square-foot area with droplets that are 50 to 200 microns in size. The unit is made of a series of 30 specially designed brass nozzles that atomize the water, which is then launched by a 25 horsepower fan that generates 30,000 cfm. It also is equipped with a 10-horsepower booster pump to increase water pressure as much as 150 psi from a 2-inch supply hose. The DB-60 has an adjustable throw angle from 0 to 50 degrees, and the oscillating head delivers 40 degrees of motion. The unit can also be outfitted with a dosing pump to accommodate odor control additives or surfactants to further enhance binding of dust particles. Additional options include explosion-proof motors and stainless steel or nylon nozzles for special applications.

The company’s DustBoss DB-30 — developed for use in smaller jobs — is mounted on a movable carriage and has a 7.5-horsepwer motor that generates 9,200 cfm. The unit also features a ring of 30 specially designed brass nozzles that atomize the water supply to droplets between 50 and 200 microns in size. It has an adjustable throw angle from 0 to 50 degrees elevation and oscillates up to 70 degrees. With a reach of 100 feet, it covers a 5,500-square-foot area from a standard 5/8-inch garden hose. The machine comes with a 1-1/2-inch pre-filter with quick cam release for easy access, and it can be set up to run potable or non-potable water. Options include single phase or international motors, explosion-proof motors, secondary filter system, and dosing pump.

Phoenix
Internal dilution and settling zone

The Ultrastep Ultra High Rate Thickener from Phoenix Process Equipment Co. has no moving parts, takes up minimal space, and features high underflow solids up to 50 to 60 percent. It also comes completely assembled from the factory to make installation and relocation easier. The thickener features an internal dilution and settling zone to provide optimal, efficient flocculation; a small footprint; no drag chains, making mechanical maintenance necessary; and a consistently thick underflow, resulting in reduced pond storage areas. Increased bed depths enhance the compaction of thickened material at the bottom of the bed, which maximizes the underflow solids concentration.
