Does your facility have fugitive dust emissions from woodchips, coal and coal ash during loading, unloading, transferring, storing and other material handling procedures. Moisture penetration in coal stockpiles is a definite concern. Sealing out the air in wood and especially coal piles is important because self-heating and combusting can occur.
Pulp and paper facilities are required to comply with regulations as they relate to water and air quality, as well as the impact on aquatic and human health. The EPA and local regulatory agencies continue to develop stringent guidelines to protect the environment against health threats.
As important as dust control, sediment as a result of runoff or windblown particles, deposits into drains, ditches or lakes and can seriously endanger plant and aquatic life. Erosion control is much more effective than sediment control. By stopping erosion before it becomes sediment, you can avoid costly clean-up and environmental effects from even occurring.
Midwest’s primary product, Soil-Sement® is designed specifically for dust and erosion control, and stormwater runoff problems. It was developed to be environmentally safe and provide superior performance. Soil-Sement® has also been extensively used in the field and tested by several independent organizations.

Soil-Sement®
A polymer emulsion blend. Soil-Sement® “cures” and dries clear. It is considered non-hazardous per OSHA and EPA definitions. It is a milky-white liquid that requires dilution with water to aid in penetration into the surface and it obtain optimum moisture for maximum compaction. Soil-Sement® is effective on coal, coal ash and wood piles for moisture penetration, dust and erosion control.
We also understand that managing a program in-house is extremely difficult with the internal demands and pressures on developers and contractors. And outsourcing is not necessarily easy. We have the programs that provide either Turnkey Application Service of fugitive dust control products or a guaranteed Dust Control Service Program of monitoring and maintaining the prescribed level of dust control.
