DusTreat* DC9112A
Dust Control Binding 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* DC9112A is a binder specifically formu-
lated to control fugitive dust from storage piles and
haul roads. This product is biodegradable and does
not contain corrosive chloride compounds or waste
oils. DusTreat DC9112A solutions are effective in
reducing respirable dust.
Fugitive dust is typically generated during unload-
ing, stackout, reclaim and crushing operations.
These dust emissions can be a safety hazard, an
environmental nuisance, and can increase mainte-
nance of material handling equipment. In addition,
these emissions can represent a substantial loss of
valuable fuel.
Fugitive emissions can be significantly reduced by
applying DusTreat DC9112A as a water solution to
water spray systems at a material transfer point or
from tank trucks equipped with sprays. DusTreat
DC9112A solutions provide residual control so that
treatment needs only to be applied at a minimal
number of locations. This reduces the cost of heat-
ing value losses associated with moisture addition
to coal.
Treatment and Feeding Requirements
Proper treatment levels for DusTreat DC9112A de-
pend on many factors, such as severity of the prob-
lem, environmental influences and operating
characteristics of the system. Therefore, this prod-
uct should be used in accordance with the control
parameters that GE Water & Process Technologies
establishes for the application.
Maximum efficiency with minimum cost is ensured
by using GE wet suppression systems. These sys-
tems are fully automated and custom sized per site
specifications to provide reliable and economical
chemical treatment. While optimal results are ob-
tained with GE equipment, DusTreat DC9112A can
be used in other feed systems. Check with your GE
representative for material compatibility informa-
tion.
For contact with neat product, recommended ma-
terials of construction include stainless steel and
PVC. For dilute aqueous solutions, use of galvanized
iron or brass yields acceptable results.
