Hexion Inc.‘s Oilfield Technology Group (OTG) has released its Sentinel™ dust suppressant. This new technology is designed to reduce dust generated from uncoated frac sand.
Hexion’s Sentinel dust suppressant is a low-cost solution designed to reduce the amount of respirable silica to levels below the new OSHA and existing Canadian permissible exposure limits (PELs). This dust suppressant solution is capable of reducing respirable silica dust below 25 µg/m3.
The unique chemical system traps fine dust particles and remains on the proppant during transportation and transfer. This liquid dust control agent is effective on all mesh size sands, including 100 mesh sand.
“Hexion is accustomed to dealing with the challenges presented by respirable silica dust because of our many years of experience working with the foundry industry. The dust associated with uncoated frac sand is a major concern for the health and wellbeing of oil and gas workers. The release of Hexion’s innovative Sentinel dust suppressant provides a proactive solution to the approaching regulatory compliance deadline and helps ensure the safety of hydraulic fracturing workers, which is of paramount importance to us,” said Jerry Kurinsky, senior vice president and general manager of OTG at Hexion.
Hexion’s Sentinel dust suppressant technology helps provide safety and compliance from the sand mine to the wellhead. The versatile application method allows users to apply the product at the sand mine, transload or at the frac site. The delivery system can be mobile or stationary and has a small footprint on location. It will not decrease throughput at the sand mine or decrease sand offloading time when deployed at a transload or frac site, all while achieving a dust reduction to within acceptable limits.
