Imagine a really dusty indoor environment. You installed dust extraction equipment but the PM2s and airborne silica levels are still way too high. The problem with extraction is it is localized, and is expensive to install, operate and maintain, writes Mike Carter, Director, Mist-Air Dust Suppression Limited.
 
LEV suction vents around the building suck the airborne dust across buildings, ensuring the dust is constantly available for everyone to breathe.
 
Smaller particles, PM2s and PM1s, are easily be ingested into the lungs and tend to stay airborne permanently. These also contain heavy metals, VOCs, and organic compounds.
 
SO, WHAT IS THE ANSWER?
Fog cannons, rotary atomizers, lines of spray jets in the roof, air jets, bowsers driven around the site?
 
Any of these systems will suppress some dust, but they can also tend to soak the floors, machinery, stock and personnel, increasing the weight of the stock and creating slip hazards.
 
HERE IS THE ANSWER
mist-air® atomizes water into a micro fine fog that stays afloat in the air and does not drop to the floor, keeping everything completely dry. It can be installed in many areas for independent control.
 
Small or large areas are easily covered, for either new buildings or retrofits.
 
mist-air® actually prevents dust from forming and stops it migrating to other areas. The forming dust is attracted to, and collides with microscopic particles of fog, and is unable to stay airborne.
 
So, clean air without having to use huge electric motors , there are no bag filters to clean, and low power and water usage.
 
It is just so simple, so people just cannot accept that they will get better suppression without spending millions of pounds on a complicated dust extraction system.
 
mist-air® began manufacturing this system over 50 years ago. The company designs, manufactures, installs and maintains them all.
 
Installed in over 6,000 sites worldwide covering recycling sites, EfW (Energy from Waste) and biomass power stations, ash handling, brick factories, quarries, tunnelling, foundries, paper mills, particle board factories, glass recycling, gypsum recycling, plastic recycling, port-hoppers, storage silos and buildings, the list is endless.
 
mist-air® is so confident in its proven system that it offers a full money back refund if the customer is not pleased with the system once installed.
 
mist-air® efficiently and cost effectively reduces airborne dust better than any other method.
