# Case Study 3 – Copper Mine

By [**Kieran Naik**](https://www.best-chem.co.uk/blog/author/kieran-naik) on Jun 27, 2025, 1:00:00 PM

![Copper Mine](https://www.best-chem.co.uk/hubfs/Images/Mining-Operator-min.webp)

 A copper mine was experiencing high levels of fugitive airborne dust from its crushing plant.  The dust required constant clean up teams and was hindering plant operations.  An air and water fogging system had been deployed, but dust remained a major problem.

Best-Chem were invited to install their Foam Dust Suppression System on one of the primary crusher lines.

The crusher on the right side of the video was being treated with Foam and clearly shows considerably less dust being released compared to that next to it – which had a high-pressure misting application.  

This dramatic reduction in dust levels was achieved by adding only 0.96% by weight of moisture to the processed ore.
