Dust Monitoring and Prediction
BHP Billiton is seeking innovative approaches to forecast patterns to prevent high dust concentrations across the Port as well as identify high dust impact sources and activities that may require retro-fitting of dust controls.
Focus Points:
- Cause and effect relationships between Port equipment operation, product type and meteorological conditions
- Confounding variables including operations of other dust contributors at the Port including Fortescue, Dampier Salt, Roy Hill and Pilbara Ports Authority
- Non-industrial dust sources that lead to high dust readings such as sea salt, regional dust and other anthropogenic sources.
