Monitoring Particulate Emissions at Quarrying Site for Granite Construction

Operating a quarry comes with inherent challenges, particularly in managing particulate emissions. The dust generated during quarrying activities raised concerns among them, and they also received some complaints from nearby communities about poor air quality. When the situation started to become critical, the company sought intervention to address the issue. In addition to community concerns, regulatory compliance for air quality monitoring became a key challenge, as Granite Construction needed to ensure that its operations met local environmental standards. The company required a solution that would provide accurate and reliable dust data and be easy to implement and maintain.ast Mines faced the dual challenge of managing dust emissions while ensuring compliance with environmental regulations. With the risk of particulate matter (PM) such as PM1, PM2.5, and PM10 and even larger particles like PM100, it was crucial for the mines to monitor and control dust levels in real-time. The company needed an efficient, reliable, and automated system to manage dust suppression without manual intervention, ensuring both operational efficiency and regulatory compliance. Additionally, the organization’s top priorities were worker health, safety, and environmental responsibility.
