## [Water Saver: The Engineering Behind Reducing Pre-Wetting Cycles](https://hs.envirotechservices.com/blog/water-saver-the-engineering-behind-reducing-pre-wetting-cycles)

Pre-wetting has long been standard practice in MgCl₂ dust control programs, and for good reason: dry roadway surfaces resist product penetration, so wetting the surface first has helped product perform. But that extra step also carries a real operational cost. Here's the operational math behind that cost, and how EnviroTech's Water Saver line reduces it.

##   Budget Cuts Don’t Eliminate Dust: Smarter Ways to Stay Ahead This Season  

Across municipalities, mines, and industrial operations, a common theme is emerging this season: budgets are tightening. In many cases, dust control line items are being reduced or cut altogether.

## Total Mining Solutions for the Mining Industry

Mining is a 24/7 operation with no margin for inefficiency. Every haul truck, every conveyor belt, every blast must work seamlessly to keep production on schedule. But across mine sites, one challenge consistently undermines efficiency, safety, and compliance: dust.

Dust may look like a minor inconvenience, but uncontrolled emissions affect every part of a mine. They shorten road life, obscure visibility, threaten worker health, trigger regulatory violations, and erode community trust. With MSHA’s new crystalline silica rule taking effect in 2024, mines face even greater pressure to control respirable dust at the source.

EnviroTech Services offers Total Mining Solutions, a portfolio of dust suppression, stabilization, and pile sealing products tailored to every part of a mine site. From haul roads and tailings to crushers and stockpiles, our chemistries deliver effective, sustainable results that reduce costs while supporting Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) commitments.

## [The History Behind BaseBind-X](https://hs.envirotechservices.com/blog/the-history-behind-basebind-x)

 By [Larry Settle](https://hs.envirotechservices.com/blog/author/larry-settle) on 12.9.2024 [Dust Control & Soil Stabilization](https://hs.envirotechservices.com/blog/topic/dust-control-soil-stabilization)

[![](https://hs.envirotechservices.com/hubfs/4%20Panel%20BBX%20(2).png)](https://hs.envirotechservices.com/blog/the-history-behind-basebind-x)

 BaseBind-X was developed more than 15 years ago after extensive trials and errors in Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas. In Texas and Oklahoma, there are countless miles of dirt and gravel roads. In many farm and ranch areas, most counties do not have the resources or funding to create all-weather roads. Across Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas, there are 406 counties, with Texas alone accounting for 254. The primary issues faced by these rural counties are dusty roads during extreme dry weather and muddy roads during wet conditions. With limited tax dollars to support all-weather roads, such as chip-seal, asphalt, or concrete roads, counties sought a solution. Over the years, these counties experimented with asphaltic base oils, emulsions, polymers, glues, Portland cement, and other materials, often achieving limited success and incurring significant expense.

## [Dust Control Decision Making: Calcium Chloride vs Magnesium Chloride](https://hs.envirotechservices.com/blog/dust-control-decision-making)

 By [Maren Garcia](https://hs.envirotechservices.com/blog/author/maren-garcia) on 6.28.2021 [Environmental](https://hs.envirotechservices.com/blog/topic/environmental), [Oil & Gas](https://hs.envirotechservices.com/blog/topic/oil-gas), [Dust Control & Soil Stabilization](https://hs.envirotechservices.com/blog/topic/dust-control-soil-stabilization), [Corrosion Control](https://hs.envirotechservices.com/blog/topic/corrosion-control), [Erosion Control](https://hs.envirotechservices.com/blog/topic/erosion-control), [Agriculture](https://hs.envirotechservices.com/blog/topic/agriculture)

[![](https://hs.envirotechservices.com/hubfs/image-png-4.png)](https://hs.envirotechservices.com/blog/dust-control-decision-making)

As a site or project manager, you are always looking to maximize efficiency. When it comes to selecting dust control, it can be hard to  find a product that is suited to your site requirements, stay within budget, and aligned with the strategic goals of the operation. 

Calcium chloride (CaCl2) and magnesium chloride (MgCl2) have been used interchangeably for dust control in order to accommodate pricing and availability, reduce decision time, and simplify the buying process. The tendency to substitute magnesium for calcium chloride, or vice-versa, is exacerbated if you have limited access to supply stores.

## [Dust Control at Demolition Sites](https://hs.envirotechservices.com/blog/dust-control-at-demolition-sites)

[The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)](https://www.epa.gov/) requires demolition sites to properly manage storm water and dust to comply with environmental regulations and reduce environmental impacts. One concern that arises while working on a demolition site is the possibility of site pollutants being released into nearby waterways due to storm water runoff.
