Best-Chem were contacted and invited to recommend a solution. Best-Chem supplied a 10-zone Foam Generating Unit and deployed nozzles at each of the crushing stages.  The results were instantaneous. - Airborne dust levels were reduced by over 95% - Water consumption was reduced by 70% - Moisture addition was less than 0.5% - Operational problems were eliminated Share this [Share on X](https://x.com/intent/post?url=https://www.best-chem.co.uk/blog/case-study-1-quarry&text=Best+choice%3A+Copper+Mine+Dust+Suppression+Case+Study+%7C+Best-Chem) [Share on Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https://www.best-chem.co.uk/blog/case-study-1-quarry&t=Best+choice%3A+Copper+Mine+Dust+Suppression+Case+Study+%7C+Best-Chem) [Share on LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https://www.best-chem.co.uk/blog/case-study-1-quarry&t=Best+choice%3A+Copper+Mine+Dust+Suppression+Case+Study+%7C+Best-Chem) Previous story [← Dust Control: Understanding How Chemical Foam Suppression Systems Work](https://www.best-chem.co.uk/blog/how-chemical-foam-suppressions-systems-work) Next story [Understanding Cement Dust Hazards and Control Measures for a Safer Workspace →](https://www.best-chem.co.uk/blog/cement-dust-hazards-and-control-measures) ## You May Also Like These Related Stories [Case Study 2 – Iron Ore Mine](https://www.best-chem.co.uk/blog/case-study-2-iron-ore-mine) ![Iron Ore Mine](https://www.best-chem.co.uk/hubfs/Mitigating-Environmental-Risks-With-Concrete-Dust-Extraction-Systems.jpg) [Case Study](https://www.best-chem.co.uk/blog/tag/case-study) ### Case Study 2 – Iron Ore Mine May 30, 2025, 11:00:00 AM 1 min read [Case Study 5 - Quarry](https://www.best-chem.co.uk/blog/case-study-5-quarry) ![Quarry](https://www.best-chem.co.uk/hubfs/Quarrying%20.webp) [Case Study](https://www.best-chem.co.uk/blog/tag/case-study) ### Case Study 5 - Quarry Sep 26, 2025, 11:00:00 AM 1 min read [Case Study 4 - Quarry](https://www.best-chem.co.uk/blog/case-study-4-quarry) ![Quarry](https://www.best-chem.co.uk/hubfs/Quarrying.webp) [Case Study](https://www.best-chem.co.uk/blog/tag/case-study) ### Case Study 4 - Quarry Aug 29, 2025, 11:00:00 AM 1 min read ### Get Email Notifications ### No Comments Yet Let us know what you think [![brand-footer](https://www.best-chem.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/Images/brand-footer.webp?width=204&height=23&name=brand-footer.webp)](https://www.best-chem.co.uk/) Best-Chem - A division of ASL, Unit 19 Carlyon Road, Atherstone, Warwickshire, UK, CV9 1LQ  [+44(0)1530 272 922](tel:%2001530%20272%20922) [sales@best-chem.co.uk](mailto:sales@best-chem.co.uk) Company No. 02238356 Vat Reg.
