EBS Stockpile Treatment Proves Long-Term Dust Control & Erosion Prevention at ASSMANG Khumani Iron Ore Mine
At ASSMANG Khumani Iron Ore Mine, a stockpile treatment using EBS Soil Stabilizer was conducted to demonstrate its effectiveness in dust control and erosion prevention. Two adjacent stockpiles were monitored:
One treated with EBS Surface Seal
One left untreated
Remarkable Results Over Time
Material Loss Comparison – After three months, the untreated stockpile lost 169 tonnes of material, while the EBS-treated stockpile had zero measurable loss.
Natural Re-Vegetation – The treated stockpile not only remained stabilized but also supported vegetation growth.
Independent Monitoring & Long-Term Performance – A three-year monitoring report documented weather and wind conditions, proving EBS withstood environmental challenges.
Unmatched Longevity – Despite recommended maintenance applications every 18 months, the treated stockpile has remained intact and stable for 12 years, without any additional maintenance.
Why EBS for Stockpile Management?
Eliminates material loss due to wind and rain erosion. Provides long-term dust suppression with no reapplication needed for years. Reduces environmental impact by preventing sediment runoff. Supports re-vegetation, aiding in mine rehabilitation efforts.
