DUST SUPPRESSION SYSTEM FOR COAL HANDLING PLANTS, QATAR
Coal mining and handling operations are known for generating hazardous conditions — from equipment failure and flooding to dangerous coal dust explosions. One of the most critical hazards is the generation of coal dust, which poses severe health, environmental, and operational risks. Coal dust not only leads to respiratory issues but also increases maintenance demands and creates explosive atmospheres.
Why Is Coal Dust So Dangerous?
Coal dust is a dual threat — it’s both a health hazard and a safety risk. In coal handling facilities, open-pit or underground mines, and processing plants, high concentrations of airborne coal dust can cause
Pneumoconiosis and other long-term respiratory diseases
Coal dust explosions or gas ignition
Machinery wear and maintenance complications
Visual dust impairing visibility and worker safety
Coal dust levels in mining environments should not exceed 3 mg/m³ of air to meet global health standards.
