Fugitive coal dust emissions occur during loading, unloading, transferring and material handling procedures. Controlling fugitive dust emissions at transfer points can be a major problem for coal handling facilities. When water is excessively used for process dust control, moisture penetration is the result. And making coal less effective is not a satisfactory solution!
Your facility may be required to comply with fugitive dust regulations as they relate to air quality. The EPA and local regulatory agencies continue to develop stringent guidelines. Facilities must adhere to these guidelines to protect the environment against the health threats related to unsuppressed dust, as well as other related problems such as lower productivity due to poor site conditions.
