Surfactant

The Martin® Surfactant Dust System applies surfactant agents using a fully automated system to maintain a consistent treatment application, while avoiding waste. The specific details of the surfactant application are determined by the needs of the customer and the environment, with each system custom engineered.

Surfactant agents reduce the surface tension of water, improving its ability to wet surfaces and form fine droplets. When tension is reduced, random collisions between droplets of water and dust fines will result in the enlargement of the dust particles to the point that they drop out of suspension in the air.
