Don’t Let Dust Reduce Your Profits
Wind farms, solar farms, & access roads
The impact of fugitive dust and environmental corrosion factors are an ongoing and major issue in the renewable energy field. Photovoltaic (PV) systems are typically designed to last close to 30 years, and their ROI is entirely dependent on meeting energy throughput and maintaining their structural integrity.
The National Renewable Energy Laboratory estimates the fugitive dust settling on photovoltaic panels can induce power losses as high as 25%. Studies show that Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) losses can be as high as 80%. In addition, maintaining the structural integrity of Renewable Energy Systems extends their life as long as possible, allowing for increased profits and low maintenance costs. For PV and CSP, think of dust in terms of energy output, 1% fewer photons is 1% less yield in energy, 1% less in sales & profit.
Blades are subjected to harsh environmental factors that cause impact abrasion damages, including from fugitive dust. According to the Department of Aerospace Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, damage to the leading-edge of blades can lower the Annual Energy Production of a wind turbine by 4-20%.

BaseBind®-X
KEEP THE ROAD MATERIALS ON THE ROAD
BaseBind-X—EnviroTech’s advanced soil stabilization solution—is now a superior option for stabilizing your roads. BaseBind-X can be mixed into a variety of road bases. Mix with water on sight and BaseBind-X can be offered in two other variations, 2X and 3X, variations which can be used as freight saving formulas.
BaseBind-X keeps the road materials on your roads and keep you from having to constantly add more material to grading your roads after wet weather. BaseBind-X products allow the road to be repaired, reworked or graded without destroying the effectiveness of the stabilizers.

DuraSynth®
DUST CONTROL FOR ANY CLIMATE
DuraSynth is an organic synthetic product that is engineered to penetrate unpaved surfaces and effectively coat and bind fugitive dust and fi nes through cohesive mechanisms. DuraSynth effectively wets the soil creating a long term, reworkable surface that coats and weighs down the particulates without evaporating, leaching or freezing. It is an effective and environmentally friendly dust abatement system that allows for the conservation of water and other resources that would be used in applying more traditional dust control products.
Benefits & Features
- Chloride free
- Organic & biodrgradable
- Stays on the road longer than traditional dust control products
- Works in all climates
- Reworkable, improving the quality of the road
- Does not require water or pre-wetting
- Reduces the consumption of energy resources
- Binds the soil and water together
RoadSaver®-DC
A PROPRIETARY BLEND FORMULA CONTAINING DESICCANTS AND SURFACTANTS FOR DUST SUPPRESSANT
Road surface preparation is extremely important in all application techniques. However, these preparations do not need to be time consuming or costly. The better the road conditions, the more successful the application will be. The following four factors work together to achieve optimum results:
- Quality and composition of aggregate
- Road preparation
- Compaction
- Application rate
Features & Benefits
- Allows for cleaner air and reduces dust to PM10 Standard
- Improves road quality with fewer potholes and less wash-boarding
- Ensures public safety
- Reduces road maintenance while creating more value for the dollar
- Can be used on many soil types
