Challenges of Managing Dust at Solar and Wind Farms

Environmental Concerns and Equipment Maintenance

Solar and wind farms present unique challenges for dust management, including environmental concerns and equipment maintenance. Dust can reduce solar panel efficiency, and wind turbine blades can become damaged and less effective if covered in dust. Additionally, dust can pose health and safety risks to workers and nearby communities.

Advanced Dust Control Products for Solar and Wind Farms

To address these challenges, Laine Chemicals offers a range of products designed specifically for dust control at solar and wind farms. Our products provide effective dust suppression while being safe for the environment and equipment. Solar and wind farms can use our products to increase efficiency, reduce maintenance costs, and improve safety for workers and nearby communities.

Proven Results on Solar and Wind Farms

We offer a variety of products for dust control at solar and wind farms, including LC Mag+, Lignin Sulfonates, Calcium Chloride, and Road Control+. LC Mag+ is a magnesium chloride-based product that provides effective dust control with minimal environmental impact. Lignin Sulfonates are an organic product that binds dust particles together to prevent them from becoming airborne. Calcium Chloride is a time-tested product that suppresses dust on unpaved surfaces. Road Control+ is a proprietary blend of materials that provides long-lasting dust control and erosion prevention.

Laine Chemicals has helped numerous solar and wind farms improve their dust control and maintenance practices. Our products have been used in various locations across the United States, from small wind farms to large-scale solar facilities. Our satisfied customers have reported increased efficiency, reduced maintenance costs, and improved safety due to using our products.

Application Questions

Our various products offer different characteristics. Our liquid calcium chloride is hygroscopic, which it attracts moisture from its environment keeping the road surface damp and dust particles down. Whereas our lignin sulfonates act as a “glue” binding dust particles together, keeping them in place on the ground.

You’ll want to contact us early in the year. We review each application individually, and we also have to make sure the weather is optimal to maximize the effectiveness of your product application. The sooner you reach out to us the better!

Most completed product treatments won’t wash away in the rain. A light rain can actually rejuvenate your application. Once your liquid treatment has had a chance to dry or absorb into the road base, it will be effective throughout the season depending on external factors. For most gravel roads, two applications are efficient for effective dust control throughout the season.
