Frequently Asked Questions
Is watering enough to control dust?
Watering alone is no longer enough. With concentrated DustPro additive in every tanker, passes drop from 6-10 a day to 1-2, using about 75% less water.
Which dust control programmes do you offer?
Three programmes: managed service (Midwest handles everything), guided application (your crews apply EnviroKleen® with training and support) and enhanced watering with DustPro.
What results can we expect?
A US EPA study at two steel mills measured over 90% PM10 and over 75% PM2.5 reduction at 30 days. A Desert Research Institute and CARB study measured 98% at 3 months and 90% at one year.
Is EnviroKleen® a stabilizer?
No. EnviroKleen® is designed for fines preservation and dust control. Soil stabilization is handled by Soil-Sement® Engineered Formula.
How do we get started?
Midwest follows four steps: discover, diagnose, design, deliver. The right programme depends on your staff, equipment and reporting obligations; start with a trial area, then expand.
