The DSI dry fog system consumes<span> <\/span> very little water. One gallon is said to be<span> <\/span> sufficient to cover thoroughly a surface<span> <\/span> area half the size of a football pitch. No<span> <\/span> additional chemicals are required and it<span> <\/span> is consequently very cost effective. The<span> <\/span> system can be employed at temperatures<span> <\/span> below freezing because the fog lacks sufficient mass to freeze. The company states that dust reduction for bulk handling operations such<span> <\/span> as ship loading has exceeded 96% efficiency without wetting the material. Typical moisture addition is less than 0.05%, making the system suitable for<span> <\/span> use even with hygroscopic powders such<span> <\/span> as cement. It can be quickly installed as<span> <\/span> a temporary measure and has frequently<span> <\/span> been employed at short notice, for<span> <\/span> example, when a dusty cargo needs to be<span> <\/span> loaded into or discharged from a vessel at<span> <\/span> a location where especially rigorous environmental regulations apply.<span> <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dust Solutions Inc.
