Water for dust suppression represents a major cost and environmental concern in mining operations, particularly in water-scarce regions. Soil Solutions’ EBS technology eliminates water requirements for dust suppression entirely.
Soil Solutions’ Water Elimination Approach:
Permanent Binding: Soil Solutions’ EBS permanently binds fine particles into the road matrix, eliminating dust generation without ongoing water application.
Zero Water Requirement: Once Soil Solutions’ EBS Surface Seal is applied, roads require zero water for dust control—eliminating daily water truck operations entirely.
Water Savings Quantified: A typical mine road network might consume 200,000-500,000 liters of water daily for dust suppression. Soil Solutions eliminates 100% of this consumption.
Annual Impact: For a medium-sized mine, Soil Solutions’ water elimination can save over 100 million liters annually—water that can be redirected to processing, community use, or preserved in natural systems.
Cost Savings: Eliminating water trucks reduces not only water costs but also diesel consumption, equipment maintenance, operator wages, and equipment capital costs.
Environmental Benefits: In water-stressed regions, Soil Solutions’ water elimination reduces stress on aquifers, rivers, and ecosystems while improving social license to operate.
Regulatory Compliance: Soil Solutions helps mines meet water reduction targets and sustainability commitments without compromising dust control performance.
Operational Advantages: Eliminating water truck traffic reduces congestion on haul roads, improves safety, and increases operational efficiency.
Soil Solutions has delivered water-free dust control for mining operations in the world’s driest regions, including the Atacama Desert, Australian Outback, and Middle Eastern mining operations where water scarcity is critical.
