Liverpool Alexandra Docks Case Study
Fighting choking dust with Mist Air Suppression Systems
Challenge:
With a history spanning 70 years, European Metal Recycling (EMR) is a global scrap metal company that has grown from a single UK business to a multi-national corporation. They recycle 10 million tonnes of waste annually, made up of everything from drinks cans to oil platforms, which are re-used, recycled and recovered into more than 200 grades of new, sustainable raw materials. EMR employ around 4,000 people in over 150 locations all around the world. mist-air have been working with EMR sites for over 20 years. The Liverpool facility, one of EMR’s three deep sea ports in the UK, handles over one million tonnes of materials a year, these materials can be exported to Europe, Egypt, Turkey, China and India.

The Mist-air Solution:
In 2019-2020 the business spent over £4 million on upgrades to its Liverpool Alexandra Docks site; part of these upgrades was a mist-air dust suppression system to suppress airborne dust in their dry processing plant. Fine choking dust was generated from conveyer transfer points, screens and separators. mist-air high level fan assisted manifolds produce a micro fine fog which suppresses the airborne dust including PM2.5s and PM1s without creating any wetting on equipment, personal or product.
