Soilworks has introduced its patent pending gas-to-liquid (GTL) technology with its Durasoil dust control product producing, it says, “the purest, greenest and most effective synthetic dust suppression fluid in the world.
“Until now, petroleum based dust suppressants and synthetic fluid derivatives have been made from toxic and hazardous crude oil. Today however, Soilworks has introduced cutting-edge technology by producing the Durasoil synthetic dust control fluid from clean, affordable and abundant natural gas. The result is the purest, most efficient dust control product in the world.”
Durasoil’s unique synthetic fluid properties control dust on a micron level in the most extreme and intense-use situations by “wetting out” any soil or aggregate to create a long-term, re-workable and self-healing solution that coats and agglomerates particulates, weighing them down, like water, without evaporating or freezing.
Durasoil has many applications in mining. It is applied to stabilise and control dust for such diverse applications as surface and underground haul roads, remote dirt and gravel aircraft runways.
Soilworks says “Durasoil has an extensive track record of making history. It is the first non-corrosive water-insoluble dust control product to be certified for its environmental efficacy and verified for superior quality by BNQ. Furthermore, Durasoil’s most recent independent third-party testing and BNQ re-certification, utilising the new GTL technology, further substantiate the valuable enhancements the new technology brings to the market.
“Our extensive research and innovation into this pioneering dust suppression technology has now driven the industry standards to extreme new heights furthering Durasoil’s unparalleled and unsurpassed environmental and performance distinctions,” stated Chad Falkenberg, Founder of Soilworks.
Unique enhancements to Durasoil with GTL technology include the ability to be applied as-is during the winter, in extreme arctic conditions approaching -73° C; when other products have long frozen solid. Furthermore, its non-volatile formulation and increased resistance to oxidation from intense UV sun rays further extends Durasoil’s performance longevity even in scalding hot, arid environments.
“The primary benefit of our GTL technology and production process is simple,” added Falkenberg. “Clean, safe raw materials are the input, and clean safe finished goods are the output.”
