EnviroMist rise to the challenge

Reclaim Tunnel Dust Management & Cleaning 

BHP’s Olympic Dam operation were seeking innovative technologies and processes to clean the ore concentrator plant reclaim tunnels and conveyor systems without the need for personnel having to enter the tunnel. 

EnviroMist rose to the challenge, providing a high energy micro-mist dust suppression system that further improved safety and limited personnel exposure to respirable dust whilst conducting pre-maintenance reclaim tunnel cleaning.

The project was awarded through the previous Supplier Innovation Program challenge process, which BHP launched in June 2020 in partnership with Austmine. 

 

The Supplier Innovation Program built upon the BHP and Austmine strategic partnership, which focused on bringing people and resources together to maximise value-chain opportunities and further strengthen the competitiveness of the Australian METS and mining sectors.
