Wuvio Chemicals

We all need to deal with dust.

All industrial operations are constantly under the microscope. Companies globally realize more than ever that dust is an environmental issue that has to be dealt with. Traditionally this is done with water (…and lots of it), large enclosure or fences.

Vannetto and Wuvio make dealing with dust easier, cost effective and allow implementation with minimized down time. Our solutions offer improvements on 3 levels:

  • Improved work environment and a happier workforce
  • Happier surroundings and better relations with direct neighbours
  • Improved economics’ by avoiding mass losses, reduced water usage and lower cleaning costs

Our approach is simple: Each dust problem is unique. Dust problems will vary from industry to industry and from client to client. Our team of experts is here to help, we analyse dust problems onsite together with our clients and work towards an optimized and sustainable solution both from economical and operational perspective.

Solutions

Freko Crust™

Freko Crust™ is a solution using biodegradable chemicals which forms a thin, hardened layoer or crust on dust emitting goods in storage (for instance coal, iron ore, limestone, waste, phosphor or woodchips). The crust can last for a long time and it is unaffected by harsh weather conditions (strong wind, heavy rain). Based on the clients need, crust duration can be adjusted to achieve cost saving. 1 liter of Freko Crust requires 10-20 liters of water to be distributed over the commodities.

Freko Foam™

Freko Foam™ Is a solution using biodegradable chemicals which form a foam layer on dust emiiting goods in transport ( for instance, coal on conveyor belts in a harbor.)

Advantages 
  • More than 90% dust suppression
  • Save more than 80% on water
  • Lower moisture level in the material
  • Improved site performance
  • Reduced clogging and down time
  • 100% biodegradable and harmless to the aquatic environment
  • 100% safe for people and environment

The foam sticks to the dust particles occurring in transport and makes them stick together. Stuck together, the particles are too heavy to float. As such, the foam prevents dust emissions for up to three days.

Freko Humidifier™

Freko Humidifier™ is a solution using biodegradable chemicals which are dispersed by humidifier canons in industrial processes where dust particles are emitted. Examples are waste installations & discharging site, building sites and drilling sites.

In normal situations dust particles do not absorb water due to differences in surface tension. Freko Humidifer breaks the surface tension of water, causing the dust to absorb the water, making it too heavy to float around. Water containing the Freko Humidifier is up tp 10 times more effective than untreated pure water.

Advantages 
  • More than 90% dust suppression
  • Save more than 80% on water (costs and treatment expenses)
  • Loss of product during storage or transport reduced by 90%
  • 100% biodegradable and harmless to the aquatic environment
  • 100% safe for people and environment
