We are leaders in bulk material transportation systems and logistics planning for moving products from mine to market by road, rail and sea. Our multimodal solutions, tailored to the unique conditions and challenges of each project, improve operational efficiency while considering the community, the local environment, profitability and overall sustainability. We plan, design, and deliver truck and rail loading facilities at mine sites, truck and rail receiving and unloading facilities, rail, barge, and ship loading systems, as well as marine and inland terminals.   

Norda Stelo’s expertise in dust management extends to a variety of active systems that incorporate monitoring of wind velocity and direction, dust sprays, chemical systems, cyclones, bag houses, spill trays, washdown systems, wind fences, and enclosures.  

Additionally, we have developed specialized expertise in the design of passive dust control systems, including soft transfers that minimize dust generation utilizing state-of-the-art techniques such as the Discrete Element Method (DEM) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modelling analysis. These effective tools are employed to develop dynamic model simulations for the analysis of material and air flow trajectories in silos and transfers, taking into account the influence of moving surfaces such as gates, diverters, conveyor belts, and apron feeders.  

Employing such passive dust-management methods in the early design phases of dry bulk material handling systems reduces the need for costly active dust control methods and results in a more efficient throughput, while minimizing product degradation, clean-up requirements, and waste.
