Glycerin for coal dust suppression is gaining momentum as coal facilities seek safer, more sustainable ways to manage airborne particulate hazards. Coal dust isn’t just a nuisance—it’s a serious safety and compliance issue. Left unchecked, airborne dust can increase explosion risks, contribute to respiratory hazards, and reduce visibility and equipment efficiency across coal yards, terminals, and prep plants.
That’s why many operators are turning to glycerin-based dust suppression solutions—and Altiras Chemicals is helping lead the way with affordable, bulk reclaimed options.
Why Choose Glycerin for Coal Dust Suppression?
Glycerin, a viscous and biodegradable compound, is ideal for use in coal facilities due to its ability to:
- Trap airborne particulates
- Maintain long-lasting moisture on coal piles
- Reduce water usage in dust control applications
- Minimize runoff and environmental impact
It can be applied using existing spray systems and performs well in both hot and cold climates. Its long surface retention time means fewer reapplications, saving both labor and water.
At Altiras Chemicals, we offer industrial-grade and reclaimed glycerin in bulk quantities. Whether you’re spraying conveyor belts, stabilizing stockpiles, or mitigating dust along transport routes, our glycerin helps improve working conditions while staying aligned with your ESG goals.
Key Benefits of Altiras Glycerin:
