ATMOS Global ™ (ATMOS Australia Pty Ltd – Elite Atmospheric Air Quality Modelling & Forecasting and Climate Change Research Consultants ™) launches a first-of-its-kind ‘constellation of world’s first transformative multi-system dust management technologies’ assimilated in the company’s new services line-up structure, intuitively named the DustPack ™ : Evidence-Based Dust Management and Dust Control Service Structure ™ (ATMOS-5D+ ™, DustAlert+ ™, DustFinder+ ™ and RiskBalance+ ™).
DustPack ™ delivers more than 25,000 site level ‘dust impact forecasts’™ every year (achieved 24/7 through ATMOS Global’s Centre for Global and Site Specific Dust Impact Forecasting, Management and Control ™) and supports ATMOS Global’s new VerifiedDust ™ global initiative, a ‘journey of 1,000 mines, one mine at a time’™ in the pursuit and discovery of environmental excellence, inspired by their 2020 vision.
There has been a broad recognition of the importance of access to practical evidence-based knowledge and information that enhance the ability of mining companies to formulate new or improve existing dust management plans for their growth-oriented global or regional operations.
Dr Orestis Valianatos, the Global President and Chief Executive Officer of ATMOS Global, said that “For example, in addition to the evident benefits that mine sites enjoy by using the DustPack ™ to map, measure and coordinate the use of their dust management resources, reducing water, energy and labour cost associated with the use of water trucks for dust control, they also reduce the overall haul road maintenance costs, downtime on repairs and fuel consumption of haul trucks, as well as increase productivity by extending tyre life-all crucial elements in the efficiency equation for mining operations. We did not invent forecasting, we invented successful ‘dust impact forecasting’™”.
“According to the level of complexity required by the mine site operations, ATMOS Global‘s new DustPack ™ is available in three high-tech options: ‘Gold’, ‘Silver’ and ‘Bronze’. DustPack ™ and our Air Quality and Climate Change Academy ™ make life better for people on and off the job and sustain the ‘human engine’”, explains Dr Valianatos.
The new VerifiedDust ™ program began last year with Western Areas NL’s Spotted Quoll (Tim King) Open Pit Project (located in Western Australia) nominated as a finalist (jointly with ATMOS Global/ATMOS Australia) for one of the most prestigious awards for environmental excellence in Australia: the Golden Gecko Awards for Environmental Excellence (Western Australian Department of Mines and Petroleum, 2011). ATMOS Global‘s DustPack (Gold) package has assisted Western Areas reduce dust impacts at the location of the key environmentally sensitive receptor by 24.2% while the annual (total) ore mined has increased by 44.3% for the open pit site (2010/2011) – an exceptional environmental performance. VerifiedDust (five stars) has been awarded for 2011, 2012 and 2013 to three of Western Areas’ mine sites: Spotted Quoll, Cosmic Boy and Flying Fox.
ATMOS Global ™ uses green energy from Green Power accredited sources to offset by 100% the carbon emissions related to its energy consumption.
