Mobile Dust Suppression & Collection System for Tailings Storage Facilities - LEFILTER Solution

Product Introduction:

For tailings dam dust control, LEFILTER offers robust, mobile solutions built to operate in a corrosive and challenging environment. Our primary offering is the high-capacity, trailer-mounted fog cannon (dust suppression cannon) with a long-range throw (up to 100+ meters). These cannons feature precision nozzles, oscillation systems, and pumps designed to handle water with potential solids or chemical content. We also provide mobile filter units for specific operations like dry tailings loading. The equipment is built with corrosion-resistant coatings, stainless steel components where critical, and simple, reliable mechanics for operation by site personnel with minimal training.

Application Area:

This system addresses the critical environmental issue of fugitive dust from the dry beaches of tailings storage facilities (TSFs). When tailings slurry is deposited and the water drains or evaporates, fine particles become susceptible to wind erosion. This dust can contain residual processing chemicals, heavy metals, or other constituents of concern. Wind-blown dust from tailings is a major environmental liability, leading to regulatory fines, contamination of surrounding land and water, and severe community relations issues. Effective control is essential for responsible mine closure and ongoing operational compliance.

Our Solution:

LEFILTER's approach is practical and effective. Our mobile fog cannons can be strategically positioned around the TSF perimeter or on the dam crest to create a curtain of fine water droplets that agglomerate dust particles at source, preventing them from becoming airborne. For operations handling filtered, dry tailings, we deploy mobile dust collectors at conveyor discharge points. The key is flexibility and coverage; equipment can be relocated as the active deposition area shifts. We focus on solutions that use minimal water efficiently and are durable enough for 24/7 operation in all weather. This proactive dust management protects the environment, fulfills your social and regulatory obligations, and is a cornerstone of sustainable mining practice.
