The Mist-air Solution:
mist-air first installed our system at their Bristol manufacturing plant in 2011 at their Rock Store and Crushing Area to control dust generated from delivery and movement of the gypsum.
Gypsum is without doubt one of the hardest dust types to control as it is moisture sensitive and yet requires a strong amount of fog as the dust is so plentiful.

“Our annual Dust survey indicated that our Rock Store was an area for concern. We contacted mist-air who attended site to review the area and suggest a solution. The installation and commissioning was completed exactly as promised. It was a tough job in pretty hostile conditions, with a lot of heavy plant movements and we had no issues around permits to work, adherence to site rules, near-misses etc. The mist-air suppression system is up and running and feedback has been very positive both from staff who work in the area and from any visitors. The mist-air system has just been serviced again, the performance of the service team was excellent.”
