In response to input from customers across the demolition and bulk material handling sectors, the leader in atomized mist technology has introduced a powerful new mobile mid-sized dust control cannon.

The DustBoss^® DB-45 Surge^® is the next iteration of the popular Surge series featuring an innovative pressurized center nozzle paired with the industry-proven fan and misting ring system to suppress both surface dust and airborne particulates.  With three remote-controlled stages and precision oscillation for optimum command over water volume and coverage area, the DB-45 Surge delivers the dependability of atomized mist along with J2P (jet-to-plume) nozzle technology that surges for over 200 feet (60 m), even in troublesome windy conditions.  The result is an easily maneuverable, autonomous, and versatile dust control solution for outdoor operations in all weather conditions.

“Our first iteration of this technology was larger for operations with high-reach cranes and enormous coverage areas,” explained BossTek Dust Control Specialist Mike Lewis.  “Managers of medium and smaller operations were impressed with the existing technology but wanted a lighter and more compact option that offered the same excellent field-tested versatility and results.  With a 200-foot (60 m) throw range, I’d say that most of our customers will be well-served by the new model.”

Demolition contractors with high-reach cranes, port operators that host tall cargo ships, and bulk handlers with tall stockpiles of raw material commonly experience windy conditions high above the ground.  In turbulent situations, dust is lifted into the atmosphere and carried beyond the site line over long distances, which can lead to permit violations.  Operators often mitigate particulate emissions using sprinklers or hoses to saturate a material’s surface.  The stronger the wind, the more water pressure is required to break through the wind shear, resulting in greater amounts of water filling the surrounding work area — often 300 GPM (1135 lpm) or more.

The DB-45 Surge combines the power of a 25-horsepower industrial fan, misting ring and heavy-duty barrel with the reach of a central high-pressure spray nozzle.  The misting ring introduces millions of tiny dust capturing droplets into an area for proven dust suppression. The pressurized spray resists wind shear and uses the force of the wind to further fragment droplets, enhancing its dust suppression capabilities.  This is achieved with a maximum of 72 GPM (372 lpm) and as little as 17 GPM (77 lpm) when using only the misting ring and fan.  The cannon also features a VFD (variable frequency drive), which allows the unit to operate more efficiently at lower water pressure.

The three stages are easily input by the touch screen system, protected by a sealed NEMA 4 cabinet or controlled by a heavy-duty hand-held remote control with a 1000 foot (305 m) range.  Stage one is highly effective on moderate days and uses the powerful 30,000 CFM (849.5 CMM) fan and misting ring for wide area coverage.  For windy days, stage two features a pressurized stream delivered by the J2P nozzle to pinpoint the source of the dust.  On high wind days, operators can choose stage three which utilizes the fan, misting ring and center nozzle for maximum coverage.

This allows the DB-45 Surge to be “set it and forget it” autonomous equipment, unlike hoses and industrial sprinklers, which typically require constant manual labor to monitor and operate.  Manual operation keeps workers in active zones near moving equipment, increasing the chance of injury and raising the costs of operation for sprinklers and hoses due to extra labor and possible liability.

The DB-45 Surge addresses wind, labor and water usage issues.  While striving to stay compliant with dust regulations, operators can now better match the water requirements to the specific application.  Fed by a standard 1-½ in. (38 mm) hose with a cam-and-groove quick disconnect coupling, the powerful booster pump delivers as much as 500 PSI (27.5 BAR) of water pressure to the center nozzle.

The coverage area is extended with the customizable 260º horizontal oscillation range and 0º-50º vertical throw angle.  Mounted on a heavy-duty roadworthy trailer for towing at highway speeds with a standard ball hitch, it can be placed by a pickup truck, skid steer or lift truck wherever dust suppression is needed.  As supplied, the DB-45 Surge can run potable or non-potable water, as it is equipped with two in-line 30 mesh, 595 micron filters to avoid clogging.  One filter is located at the water entry point to the booster pump and another is located prior to the pipe feeding the central nozzle.

Other options are already available, including tower mounting for permanent locations.  The cannon is also available as part of the company’s popular “Fusion” lineup, pairing the DB-45 Surge with a trailer-mounted generator to alleviate the need for a nearby power source.  With a 15HP booster pump, the unit only requires a 45kW generator, which most demo contractors already have in their equipment arsenal.

“The DustBoss product line is known for its rugged quality and long service life, often described as one of the most reliable and low-maintenance pieces of equipment on any job site,” Lewis concluded.  “Our 3-year or 3000-hour warranty is evidence of our confidence in the products.  The DB-45 Surge is designed with that same philosophy: it’s built to last.”

Attendees of the 2024 National Demolition Association’s (NDA) conference, Demolition San Antonio, on March 6^th-9^th can visit the BossTek Team at booth #306 in the exhibit hall.  Experience a demonstration of the DB-45 Surge Fusion at the Live DEMOlition event on Thursday, March 7^th.  Other dust suppression units including the DB-Atom, the DB-60 Surge, and a DB-10 will be on display in the booth.

Features Tier IV Final Gen Set

(Peoria, Ill.) – A global innovator in dust and odor control technology has updated its family of self-powered dust suppression equipment with Tier IV Final-compliant generators, ensuring compliance in all 50 states.  BossTek made the announcement with the debut of the new DustBoss^® DB-60 Fusion^TM, a field-proven suppression system driven by a high-reliability 25 HP electric motor and paired with a gen set powered by a heavy-duty 4-cycle indirect injection diesel engine.  Designed, engineered and assembled in the USA, the generator features a dual-containment fuel cell, heavy gauge lockable enclosure and oversized brushless alternator for easy starting.

Permanently mounted on a rugged road-worthy trailer, the company’s Fusion lineup is proving to be a popular and effective means of delivering versatile, mobile dust suppression technology to sites that lack a readily available power source.  The company expects to unveil two other Fusion models in early 2019, giving customers the ability to select the size and coverage range needed to best suit their operations.

The new generator series is designed with sound attenuation for excellent noise reduction and a multi-voltage switch with utility power outlet in all voltage modes.  The digital engine / generator controller is equipped with single button stop / start and an 80-gallon fuel capacity, giving the units a run time of more than 24 hours at a prime rating of 45 kVa.  Like its previous Fusion systems, BossTek warrantees the DB-60 Fusion for three years / 3,000 hours, with 5-year / 5,000 coverage on the electric motor and a 2-year / 2,000 hour warranty on the generator.

What Tier IV Means

Tier 4 refers to the latest emission milestone established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the California Air Resources Board (CARB).  The regulations apply to new engines found in off-road equipment, including construction, mining and agricultural equipment, as well as marine vessels, locomotives and stationary engines used in industrial and power generation applications.

Tier IV-compliant engines are designed to significantly reduce emissions of particulate matter (PM) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) to near zero levels.  Relative to previous emissions standards, Tier IV-compliant engines reduce emissions by over 95 percent for most agricultural and construction equipment and just over 86 percent for much larger applications such as locomotives and marine vessels.  The Tier 4 emission standards are roughly similar to emission reduction requirements for engines that power heavy-duty trucks.

How It Works

The DB-60 Fusion drives pressurized water through a circular stainless steel manifold with 30 atomizing spray nozzles, then launches millions of tiny droplets with a powerful fan that produces 30,000 CFM (849.50 CMM) of air flow.  Atomized mist droplets of 50 to 200 microns in size are thrown out in a 200 foot (60 meter) cone at an adjustable 0 to 50° elevation angle, capturing airborne dust particles and dragging them to the ground.  Unlike industrial sprinklers used for the same purpose, which can require hundreds of gallons of water per minute, the DB-60 only uses about 23 GPM (87 LPM) to help avoid pooling or runoff.

A touch screen panel for controlling the dust suppression unit is encased in a NEMA 3R cabinet, allowing operators to control oscillation, booster pump, fan and water.  The cabinet is constructed for outdoor use, designed to provide protection against solid foreign objects (such as dirt), air (dust, emissions), water (rain, sleet, snow) and ice formation.  The system provides valuable mobility and versatility in one of the most popular and effective dust suppression designs on the market, able to deliver up to 62,800 square feet (5,834 square meters) of coverage.

“Maintaining air quality is essential for communities near a demolition project, mining operation or other bulk material handling activities, but even in places with little infrastructure, dust can choke worksites and foul equipment,” said Project Engineer Jason Lesch.  “We engineered the Fusion to be highly mobile, with its own power source, so it can be easily towed anywhere on a job site.”

Equipped with an in-line 75 mesh, 200 micron filter, the unit can be specified with special filtration to accommodate non-potable water sources.  In addition, the new design can be optimized with a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) to precisely adjust fan speed.  An optional dosing pump is available for precise metering of additives to enhance particle control even further.

[Coeymans, NY] — A leader in dust control solutions has helped a port located along the Hudson River control fugitive particle emissions at the dock and in the industrial park using atomized mist technology.  The Port of Coeymans employs two DustBoss^® DB-60™ atomized mist cannons from BossTek^® for dust suppression in a variety of activities and applications.  One machine is mobile, used to control particle emissions during the unloading and storage of bulk materials.  The other is tower-mounted to suppress particulates at the metal scrap yard.  This provides operators the versatility to address surface suppression and airborne control at different areas of the port, resulting in a drastic reduction in fugitive dust.

About 40-50 vessels per year arrive from Greece, Turkey, Egypt and Spain, delivering nearly 33,000 tons (30,000 metric tons) per week of clinker, a dry chalky substance used as a binder in cement products.  When the ship arrives, large clamshell shovels controlled by tower cranes unload the material from the ship’s cargo hold, over the ship’s deck — from 25 (7.5 meters) to as high as 120 feet (to 36.5 meters) in the air — to a 20-foot-tall (6 meter) hopper, which discharges into a 40-ton (36 metric ton) haul truck.  The truck drives the material the short distance to the adjacent industrial park, where it is stored for further transport.

“The most dust was produced when the substance was dropped into the hopper, and although it has a bag house attached, a percentage would still escape,” explained Stephen Kelly, Vice President of Sales and Business Development at the Port of Coeymans.  “We realized that we also needed dust suppression for scrap metal storage and other operations in the industrial park.  Our goal was to improve air quality for the safety of our employees and the surrounding community.”

The 300-foot (91.4 m) wide dock receives vessels of up to 750 feet (228.6 m) in length overall (LOA).  With no beam restrictions, it accepts ships with a draft (depth) of 31 feet (9.4 m).  In addition, a 300-foot (91.4m) by 60-foot (18.3 m) inlet channel with a 15 foot (4.5 m) draft allows loading/unloading from both sides.

Like many other facilities handling bulk materials, the Port of Coeymans limits fugitive dust emissions by employing a couple of simple methods.  One is limiting the distance the dust-emitting cargo travels from the ship’s hold to the dock.  This is done by using a clamshell shovel suspended from a crane to slowly unload the material into a tall portable hopper with a baghouse dust collection system.

To further mitigate dust, crane operators reduce the amount of material collected by the shovel.  Although this extends the unloading time, it curbs the amount of material escaping from the top or sides of the shovel and thus further limits dust emissions.

Another area that needed dust suppression was in the industrial park.  Located about 700 feet (213 m) inland from the Hudson River with no natural wind barrier, the surface is a combination of concrete, packed earth and gravel.  Scrap metal from various sources (demolition projects, old cars, dismantled ships, etc.) is transferred from barges and deposited into storage piles.  During windy conditions, the unprocessed metal can emit dust both during offloading from vessels and loading onto ground transport.

The industrial park also stores mounds of various raw commodities.  These well-organized piles, stretching as high as 20 feet (6 meters), are exposed to outdoor conditions and can emit dust in moderate winds, during offloading by haulers, disruption by front loaders and loading into trains or trucks.  Additionally, this heavy ground equipment can kick up its own dust during normal operations.

Kelly contacted BossTek , manufacturer of the DustBoss series of industrial atomized mist cannons and decided to rent two of the mid-sized DB-60 units to test them out.  Mounted on a heavy-duty wheeled carriage with a pintle hitch, the DB-60 has a specially designed barrel with a powerful fan on the back end and a circular manifold with 30 atomizing spray nozzles on the front.  The fan forces air through the cannon and past the manifold, launching millions of tiny atomized mist droplets 50 to 200 microns in size.

By introducing droplets roughly the same size as the dust particles, the droplets are able to travel with the particles, collide with them and drag them to the ground before they drift onto the dock area or across the site line.

A 25 HP fan producing 30,000 CFM (849.50 CMM) of air flow propels the engineered mist in a 200-foot (60 meter) long cone that reaches high over the deck of the ship.  This type of coverage offers simultaneous surface suppression to material in the cargo hold and airborne suppression through the shovel’s path from the hold to the hopper.

Approximately the height and length of a standard golf cart and weighing around 1,800 lbs. (816 k), the unit is easily moved on its wheeled carriage by a pickup truck or fork lift from the port to the industrial park.  There, operators can cover more than 125,000 square feet (11,613 square meters) of the storage and traffic area using the 359º degree oscillation.  The Port of Coeymans uses municipal water through a hose with a cam-and-groove quick disconnect coupling leading to a booster pump that raises the pressure up to 160 PSI (11.03 BAR), with a maximum of 250 PSI (17.23 BAR).  The unit only requires a constant supply pressure of 10 PSI (.069 BAR), and when a non-potable water source is used the DB-60 can be equipped with an in-line 30 mesh, 595-micron filter system.

There are some clear benefits over the use of hoses, which are required to be manned and can use up to 100 gpm (378 lpm).  The DB-60 uses far less water (only 26.7 gpm /101.1 lpm), delivering a much larger coverage area and requiring no labor for ongoing operation.  Workers at the port simply place it in the desired location, point it in the right direction, hook up the hose and power, turn it on and walk away.

Result

Operators report that air quality at the port has significantly improved during the unloading of clinker and other dusty materials, and that fugitive dust emissions have not been seen leaving the site since adding the units to the facility’s dust management plan.  The cannons are easily positioned on the dock, taking up little room and covering a large area, allowing crane operators to transfer material from hold to hopper more efficiently.  The industrial park has experienced a noticeable improvement in air quality, especially when a DB-60 is in operation during dry and windy periods.

“We are very happy with how the DustBoss controls the dust, how heavy-duty it is and how it works every time we turn it on,” Kelly concluded.  “BossTek has been very responsive and great to work with.  I would recommend their atomized mist machines to any of my colleagues.”

BossTek is a global leader in dust and odor control solutions for the storage and handling of clinker, petcoke, coal, rock and aggregate, as well as controlling air quality during port unloading, recycling and scrap processing, mining, earth moving and construction demolition.  The company’s DustBoss product line utilizes atomized mist technology propelled by powerful fans to capture fugitive particles over a wide area.

[Neponset, IL] – In a move to help all silica dust-producing operations comply with impending rule changes, two pioneers in industrial dust control are reminding customers that the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) respirable crystalline silica (RCS) dust emissions Final Rule [OSHA §1910.1000 Respirable crystalline silica] compliance deadline for general industry and maritime is June 23, 2018.  Both experts in complementary technologies covering a broad range of activities, Martin Engineering and BossTek (formerly Dust Control Technology) help operators safeguard the health of individuals through the use of field-proven equipment to minimize fine particulates, forced downtime and potential litigation.

Serving customers from mining, aggregates and coal handling to demolition, workplace safety has always been a priority for the sister companies.  “We believe dust control doesn’t need to come at the expense of production or profits, but should support operations and deliver a return on investment,” explained Jerad Heitzler, Foundations™ Training Manager at Martin Engineering.  “Although added regulations are always a strain on any business, compliance is an opportunity to assess aging systems and improve efficiency.”

Why the Regulation?

Due to the small size, RCS of PM₁₀ (particulate matter ≤10 microns [μm]) can penetrate the body’s natural defenses (mucus membranes, cilia, etc.), reaching deep into the lungs.  Invisible to the naked eye and able to travel long distances on ambient air currents, workers are often unaware of lingering RCS and take off protective masks, risking exposure and potentially contracting silicosis over time.

Silicosis is a chronic and irreparable disease that affects millions of workers in a wide variety of industries.  Without proper protection, workers with extensive exposure can experience a buildup of RCS deep in the lungs, restricting lung capacity.  Silicosis can potentially lead to more harmful and life-threatening lung ailments such as pneumonia, pulmonary tuberculosis and lung cancer.

With this in mind, not only does the Final Rule require regular monitoring by the employer, but it also sets personal exposure limits (PEL) and suggests engineering controls and particulate isolation rather than putting the entire onus of wearing uncomfortable respirators on the employees.  By doing this, regulators also limit fugitive dust emissions from leaving the site line and exposing the wider public.

“The RCS regulations are touching a wide range of companies,” said Edwin Peterson, CEO of BossTek.  “Some operations can implement a single solution, whereas others create dust throughout the entire process and require unique solutions at each stage.”

Being Compliant

Companies are required to follow OSHA’s rules of compliance by using a personal dust monitor worn by a trained employee to monitor the amount of RCS and determine whether the exposure is under the average “action level” of 25 µg/m³ (micrograms of RCS per cubic meter of air).  Plants must protect workers if they have an amount of RCS dust above the PEL of 50 µg/m³, averaged over an 8-hour day.  To control these levels, OSHA provides guidelines regarding methods of compliance, advising companies to:

• Use engineering controls – These include isolating dust in sealed chute systems and dust collectors, and/or using water-based atomized suppression systems.
• Provide respirators – Compliance cannot be achieved by respirators alone, but respirators must be provided for use in areas where engineering controls cannot adequately limit exposure.
• Limit worker access to high exposure areas – Limit access to areas where workers could be exposed to dust concentrations above the PEL.
• Develop a written exposure control plan – Have it available along with monitoring results.
• Offer medical exams to highly exposed workers – Review the regulation for compliance details.
• Train workers on silica risks and how to limit exposures – Workers should be able to identify to OSHA inspectors the dust control supervisor and the compliance details when asked.

Non-compliance could result in fines, process disruptions and legal action by federal or state agencies or workers.  If PEL readings are at or above the permissible exposure level, plants must take action with isolation or engineered controls.  And fines for first offences can be steep.  For example, following the construction industry deadline of June, 23^rd 2017, some general contractors and developers faced fines of $40K- $70K.

Isolation and Engineering Controls

Isolation to control dust exposure entails enclosing a conveyor system through the material transfer and sealing in particles to help prevent them from escaping.  On a fast moving, high volume operation, air flow through the settling zone should be controlled to minimize its escape.  An effective transfer zone slows the air down, allowing the material and dust time to settle.  New modular structures deliver the versatility to adapt to virtually any material transfer, enabling the construction of a transfer chute and settling zone of varying heights and lengths to meet specific needs.  Specially-configured dust curtains can also be installed to promote settling, and top-mounted dust bags release excess air while capturing particles that remain in the air stream.

For heavy duty applications with short ducting runs that exceed the volume of a dust bag, an integrated air cleaner is a compact dust collector located directly above the conveyor transfer point.  It captures agitated dust in a filter, then uses a reverse pulse of air to return particles to the main cargo stream.

The system is not sealed if the chute skirting doesn’t maintain constant contact with the belt.  Mounted on the outside of the chute with optional quick release clamps for safer access and maintenance, innovative apron seals provide a dual-seal to further reduce the escape of fines and dust.  The patented design features a secondary sealing strip that rides the belt to offer an extra layer of protection against dust emissions and spillage.

For hydrophobic materials, engineering controls such as spray systems can apply dust-suppressing surfactant and crusting agents using strategically placed nozzles and a fully automated control system to avoid waste.  Able to be placed almost anywhere within the cargo stream from loading to discharge, the sprayed surfactant agents reduce the surface tension of water, improving its ability to wet surfaces and form fine droplets that reduce dust emissions.

Another concern operators should be aware of is carryback.  Without thorough discharge of bulk materials from the head pulley, fines can stick to the belt or get caught in cracks and divots, dropping off randomly and potentially creating fugitive dust along the entire return path.  Having the proper primary and secondary cleaners is key to reducing carryback.  For extra cleaning of tacky or powdery cargo, operators may consider installing a Washbox Cleaning System consisting of a powder-coated steel enclosure equipped with rollers, spray bars, inspection doors and secondary cleaners.

Outdoor Emissions

To address outdoor dust emissions from storage pile management to crushing and recycling activities, atomized mist cannons use high-pressure water driven to a circular manifold at the end of a specialized cylindrical barrel with an industrial fan in back.  As the unit oscillates, the fan directs air through the cone-shaped cannon and propels millions of tiny droplets approximately the same size as the dust particles in a long cone covering an area up to 5 football fields in size.

For stackout conveyors and chutes where the cargo stream is exposed to open air currents and wind, point source suppression such as non-mechanical misting rings and spray bars are designed to control dust emissions.  A misting ring encloses the stream in a curtain of atomized mist, containing it within the material flow.  Open-air discharge resulting in dusty blowback from impact — e.g. when vehicles load into a hopper or from a conveyor discharging into a transfer chute — can be suppressed by misting bars and sprayers, which create a dust barrier.  Like the spray systems mentioned above, these technologies can also be bolstered by surfactants for even more effective suppression.

“Compliance not only protects workers, but also protects the bottom line from fines, downtime and lawsuits,” said Peterson.  “Investing in long-lasting and field-proven equipment translates to a sensible ROI and peace of mind over the long term.”

Unlike its larger siblings, water is supplied to the DB-30 Fusion by a standard 5/8″ (15.8 mm) garden hose, so it can be used at any location with a working hose bib.  Equipped with an in-line 75 mesh, 200 micron filter, the unit can also be specified with special filtration to accommodate non-potable water sources.

With an adjustable throw angle from 0-50 degrees of elevation and a range of approximately 30 meters (100 feet) in calm conditions, the standard configuration includes user-definable 359 degree oscillation, allowing the unit to cover as much as 31,000 square feet (2880 square meters) with a powerful dust-trapping mist.  The new design can also be optimized with a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) to precisely adjust fan speed.  An optional dosing pump is available for precise metering of additives to even further enhance particle control.

The extremely water-efficient design consumes just 2.5 gallons per minute.  That’s compared to competing dust control methods such as manual spraying that can use hundreds of gallons per minute, resulting in over-saturation, run-off concerns and higher water costs.

A touch screen panel for controlling the DB-30 Fusion is encased in a NEMA 3R cabinet, allowing operators to control oscillation, fan and water.  The cabinet is constructed for outdoor use, designed to provide protection against solid foreign objects (such as dirt), air (dust, emissions), water (rain, sleet, snow) and ice formation.

Maintenance requirements for the new design are minimal, even though the unit carries an industry-leading 3-year/3000-hour warranty on the dust suppressor and a 2-year/2000-hour warranty on the gen set.  If potable water is being used, nozzles typically need to be inspected just once per year.  The turntable bearing on the oscillator should be greased annually or as needed for harsh service conditions and the fan motor should be lubricated every 10,000 hours.  Like any diesel engine, the gen set should have regular inspections and changing of oil, coolant and filters.

“This design was developed in response to input from the marketplace, which indicated that some customers would benefit from a more compact design that’s well-suited to smaller projects or tight spaces,” said BossTek Sales Manager Mike Lewis.  “The 7.5 HP electric motor generates 9200 CFM of air flow, and it uses the same industrial-strength construction as the larger models: a manifold with 30 specially-designed nozzles that atomize the water supply, creating droplets between 50 and 200 microns in size for maximum particle attraction.”  The company also offers a full line of surfactants, tackifiers, and odor control additives that are fully compatible with the equipment.

“We’re always developing new technologies, and we’re excited to introduce this new product design to serve our customers even better,” Lewis added. “It’s our customers, first and foremost, that drive our innovation and passion, and they will always remain our primary focus.”
