FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
What is the price of protection against dusting?
As a supplier of celluguard® technology, we offer direct prices. The price is determined individually and depends on:
- the number of hectares or square meters to protect against dusting,
- the type of dusting substrate (ash of hard coal, brown coal, wood dust, rock, etc.)
- difficulties of applying the protection (access, ground stability, etc.)
- the degree of durability collateral (3, 6, 12 or even 24 months),
- the possibility and current readiness to carry out the service against dusting.
For example, the price of collateral 1m2 on ashes, ranged from 0,5 $ to even 1$ protection of roads against dusting is an amount of 1$ – 2$ net per 1 m2. Please contact us to determine the degree and type of security. After a short consultation, we will provide you with information about the price.
What is the minimum order for protection against dusting?
The minimum area we make is 5,000 m2, with additional fees for transporting both ways. At the service above 1 ha (10,000 m2), transport charges are no longer charged.
What does the heaps after the celluguard technology look like?
The technology most often immediately after application creates a thin, elastic and practically invisible barrier between dust and wind. However, in order to optically control the application or terrain, we also add a dye that disappears after a few days or months. In the case of celluguard protection, the barrier binding small powdery fractions combines them together. Importantly, this barrier does not crumble as with the use of bitumens or polymers.
What is the durability of the dusting area you are doing?
Proper distribution of the protection against secondary pollution is divided into:
- Class A – long-term – from 6 to 12 months.
- Class B – medium-term – from 3 to 6 months.
- Class C – short-term – from 0 to 3 months.
- Class D – short-term – from 0 to 30 days – applies to open rail cars and truck boxes.
In special cases, we are also able to prepare permanent security for 18 and 24 months.
Does the celluguard® technology allow for protection longer than one year?
Yes. In some cases and on some landfills, celluguard® technology has the potential to prolong the protection of dusty surfaces. The period of protection against secondary dusting can increase up to 2 years! Please contact us to determine the specificity of the landfill.
What pH does your protection have?
Dustergent celluguard® has a pH of 5.5-7.
How long is the dye added to cover visible and permanent?
The dye only serves to optically control the sprayed surfaces and is visible for up to 3 days. In the case of rainfall, the dyestuff biodegrades much faster. Durability of the dye visibility or even its lack, can be determined individually according to the client’s requirements and can take up to several months if needed.
Do you also secure transports of loose materials in open railway wagons?
Yes. We do this type of task. We refer to this as category D also in accordance with the ADR and RID regulations. Most often they relate to cooperation based on the Framework Service Agreement. The prices are set individually depending on, among others,
- the length of your transport contract,
- the type of dusting material (troublesome, dangerous or toxic),
- the number of wagons to secure during the day or on a monthly scale,
- the places where the warehouses are protected, etc.
Please contact us for details.
Is it possible to sign a several-year service agreement with your company?
Yes of course. We have such long-term contracts with many customers. This is a very convenient form of outsourcing offered by our company. It allows for safe and quick action in emergency situations, and simplifies paperwork procedures. Please contact us for a ready proposal of the Service Agreement.
Does your technology affect the parameters of coal and can negatively affect its combustion?
No. Our solutions do not have a negative impact on the parameters of coal, coke or fine coal. This opinion is confirmed even in our references one of the largest energy companies in the country.
Does the security application leave visible marks on the coal?
It depends on the customer’s choice. As standard, we use an additional dye to control the protected surface. We can also do the service without dye. Then, after the application, there is practically no trace, and the place with cumbersome volatile materials are secured.
What is the cost of leasing a floating cannon for one day?
The cost of renting a dustblocker® spraying cannon in a 30 and 40 meter range is about 90$ / day.
