Dust Suppression Systems can be an extremely cost-effective alternative to Dust Extraction Systems for fugitive dust control, particularly in bulk material handling plants. At times, it is the only solution when it comes to large dust-prone areas and stockpiles, which cannot be controlled by dust extraction for practical and economic reasons. It can be deployed in Stacker and Stacker Reclaimers.

The inclusion of Dust Suppression Systems has become a standard, and is today an integral part of a material handling system to prevent fugitive dust nuisance which violates environmental norms adversely affects plant and machinery life & operation and reduces workplace productivity. The system also has a payback as it prevents loss of raw material during handling, and also provides the additional benefit of not having a secondary pollution problem as the dust is retained in the material itself.
