WLP provides a comprehensive technology for dust suppression and odour control for a wide range of industries. Fields of applications include
building and demolition sites, recesses and inert recycling systems, cement factories and concrete production plants, construction of roads and tunnels, steel factories and compost production plants, wood processing plants, solid urban waste landfill sites and transfer, mining and quarrying, environmental remediation and ports and shipping sites. The WLP dust suppression and odour control system can reduce the cost of dust control by around 50%, according to WLP. Most companies realize payback in six months or less.

Dust and odour control systems
WLP’s dust suppression and odour control system reduces the problem of dust and odour in all sites (inside or outside). Each WLP system tries to reproduce a natural phenomenon artificially. The machine has several nozzles that eject tiny drops of water. These drops capture the dust particles in the air and make them sink to the ground. Besides the guns, a complete system includes a pumping station, a water distribution system, an electrical power distribution system, a data transmission system and a programming, control and monitoring unit.

Dust suppression system advantages
WLP’s dust suppression system is, according to the manufacturer, more efficient than traditional
systems because of the following:

• WLP dust suppression systems use less water than traditional water sprinklers with a fine mist of water droplets ranging in size from 50μm-200μm, the best size for dust suppression
• WLP’s dust suppression gun covers a large area between 9,200ft2 and 39,400ft2 
• Less mud means construction sites and machines stay cleaner, therefore reducing the need for clean-up
• No need for employing people to wet roads and squares (not having to employ people means a significant return on investment)
• Machines are easy to use and install, and after set-up, can be run 24/7
• The use of a system that protects the environment always makes a good impression on public authorities and environmental organizations
• WLP dust suppression systems make the work place healthier and cooler during the summer

Low-energy dust suppression gun
The WLP dust suppression gun helps to improve ambient air quality, protect the local environment
and reduce neighbour complaints. WLP units use a high-pressure system to create an ultra-fine mist,
attracting dust and odour particles and driving them to the ground to ensure the best dust and odour suppression.
Depending on the model, the WLP gun can blanket between 854 m2 (9,200ft2) and 3,660 m2 (39,400ft2) and provides the lowest energy consumption per square foot. WLP aims to provide energy savings, with its machines designed to use minimal power. WLP models are available in either mobile or standing units, to provide you with the best solution for your site.
