Dust emissions, generated during transport, physical mining and handling of mining ore are becoming a growing concern due to the following reasons:

  • Health – inhalation of the dust particles
  • Safety – poor visibility
  • Downtime – impair equipment.

Gowin does not only wish to comply with the legislative requirements regarding dust, but also make the place of operations an area where people are in a safe and healthy environment.

For this reason dust emissions should be controlled on a continuous basis.  For many years water has been the most common used dust suppressant and regarded as the cheapest temporary treatment of dust.  However, with the scarcity of water the frequent re-application of water in most cases makes this method the least productive and definitely not a cost effective option.

Water is a necessity for life on earth. The availability of clean water has become a national concern. The sustainable and responsible use of water resources are one of the main focus areas for most industries and the irresponsible use of water could lead to financial penalties in some cases.  As a responsible corporate citizen most industries have to change their methods to more environmental friendly practices that are sustainable in the long run. Gowin can assist with that.
