CoalPlus is a unique program of patented anti-oxidants, dust control binders and high performance foam application systems. We “body feed” the anti-oxidants and binders to coals at mine sites, terminals and power plants– reducing dust up to 90% during unloading, stack-out and reclamation. Body feeding the anti-oxidant/dust binder as a foam prior to loading ensures treatment at coal surfaces.
CoalPlus technology retards the oxidation and weathering of low rank coals, which reduces hot spots, smokers, and spontaneous combustion at generating stations, coal terminals and mines.
DusTreat* binding agents are patented dust control technologies designed to reduce fugitive dust emissions and inhibit the surface oxidation of low rank coals.
DusTreat binding agents combine the functionality of a long-term “residual” dust control binder, with an anti-oxidant capability. DusTreat binders prevent dusting by two mechanisms – by agglomerating the fine parti¬cles as a binder and by reducing the weathering of the coal.
- Reduces dusting during loading, unloading, stack-out and reclamation.
- Reduces in-transit coal losses from rail cars– may eliminate need for car topper treatments.
- Retards the oxidation and weathering of low rank coals, such as Powder River Basin (PRB) coals.
- Significantly reduces hot spots, smokers and spontaneous combustion at generating stations and coal terminals.
- Reduces BTU losses during outside storage at coal yards and terminals.

Mining sites face countless challenges related to dust, including accidents, operational & health challenges, decreased productivity and CO2 emissions.
GE offers a portfolio of dust control programs as an alternative to increased usage of water. GE’s DusTreat includes wetting agents, foam suppressants, and binders that reduce dust emissions.
Fugitive dust is typically generated during unloading, stack out, reclaim and crushing operations. These dust emissions can be a safety hazard and environmental nuisance, and can increase maintenance of material handling equipment. DusTreat wetting agents are highly-concentrated blends formulated to enhance the dust suppression capabilities of water.
DusTreat is designed to increase the ability of water to adhere to and spread over dust particles. This increases the bulk density of dust particles and leads to agglomeration, which prevents particles from becoming airborne. DusTreat dust control solutions are particularly effective in reducing respirable dust.
- Provides control of fugitive emissions while minimizing moisture addition
- Enhances wetting of dust particles
- Reduces maintenance and housekeeping costs
- Reduces explosion hazard and improves working conditions

DusTreat* crusting agents are especially formulated to control dust from long term and short term storage piles by providing a durable, semi-permanent, rain-resistant surface seal, reducing wind erosion and protecting against atmospheric oxidation.
DusTreat also provides control of fugitive dust emissions from a wide variety of solid materials including coal, limestone, calcined coke, taconite, clinker, ores, flyash, mine tailings and waste materials stored in open piles exposed to the weather.
- Provides medium to long term control of fugitive dust emissions (>90% dust reduction for many materials)
- Reduces explosion hazards
- Reduces inventory losses and pile run off
- Improves working conditions, community relations, and protect the environment

The DusTreat* series is a collection of concentrated dust control foam and binding agents that are formulated to produce resilient, low surface tension foam to control fugitive dust throughout the mine, terminal, or power plant material handling system. In addition, they control dust on active storage piles and during reclaim operations.
DusTreat foaming agents offer the best available technology by providing a highly concentrated product. They minimize moisture addition while providing residual effects, eliminating the need to apply treatment at all locations. DusTreat is a convenient and cost-effective alternative to the multi-application approach typical in most water spray systems.
- Provides residual control of fugitive emissions while minimizing moisture addition
- Maintains control of emissions through multiple transfer points and active storage piles
- Environmentally safe
- Produces quality foam with most plant waters
- Reduces maintenance and housekeeping costs
- Reduces explosion hazards and improves working conditions
- Improves worker health by reducing respirable dust emissions
