Fact Sheet
DusTreat* DC9142
Dust Control Wetting Agent
 Provides excellent control of fugitive emissions
 Effective on coal, ores and other bulk solid
materials
 Controls dust in active storage piles and roads
 Reduces inventory losses
Description and Use
DusTreat* DC9142 is a wetting agent specifically for-
mulated to control fugitive dust from storage piles.
This product is biodegradable and does not contain
corrosive chloride compounds or waste oils. DusTreat
DC9142 solutions are particularly effective in reducing
respirable dust.
Fugitive dust is typically generated during unloading,
stackout, reclaim and crushing operations. These dust
emissions can be a safety hazard, an environmental
nuisance, and can increase maintenance of material
handling equipment. In addition, these emissions can
represent a substantial loss of valuable fuel.
Fugitive emissions can be significantly reduced by ap-
plying DusTreat DC9142 as a water solution to water
spray systems at a material transfer point or from
tank trucks equipped with sprays. DusTreat DC9142
solutions provide residual control so that treatment
needs only to be applied at a minimal number of loca-
tions. This reduces the cost of heating value losses
associated with moisture addition to coal.
Treatment and Feeding Requirements
Proper treatment levels for DusTreat DC9142 depend
on many factors, such as severity of the problem, en-
vironmental influences and operating characteristics
of the system. Therefore, this product should be used
in accordance with the control parameters that GE
establishes for the application.
Maximum efficiency with minimum cost is ensured by
using GE wet suppression systems. These systems are
fully automated and custom sized per site specifica-
tions to provide reliable and economical chemical
treatment. While optimal results are obtained with GE
equipment, DusTreat DC9142 can be used in other
feed systems. Check with your GE representative for
material compatibility information.
For contact with neat product, recommended materi-
als of construction include stainless steel and PVC. For
dilute aqueous solutions, use of galvanized iron or
brass yields acceptable results.
