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%.

DuraRenu®

ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY DUST CONTROL

DuraRenu allows you to be environmentally conscious without having to pay more. This innovative product contains performance enhancing organic polymers and proprietary humectants which keep the surface stable and dust free while using zero chlorides. DuraRenu works by binding the road surface particles together creating a denser, firmer road cap and eliminating the sliding hazards of loose dirt and gravel. DuraRenu absorbs quickly, thereby eliminating long road closures and operational headaches. DuraRenu is fully biodegradable and does not leach into the surrounding environment, making it a truly ecologically sound solution to dust suppression.

Benefits & Features

  • Fast Acting: No need to close road, results almost immediate, usable with most soil types
  • Binding: Safer roads and driving conditions, longer lasting road stabilization, improved surface durability
  • Low Chloride: Better public relations, safe for a variety of environmentally sensitive areas

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
