The presentation will go through the recommended process for the design of an airborne dust suppression system using water sprays.
Key aspects will include evaluating the application, understanding the difference between wetting sprays and dust suppression sprays, nozzle selection to suit the application, and finishing up with industry examples.
Presenter
Dr Jon Roberts is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Engineering at the University of Wollongong (UOW), specialising in fluid mechanics, airborne dust control, and bulk materials handling. He completed his Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering at UOW in 2015 and a PhD in 2019 focused on spray characterisation and modelling for airborne dust suppression.
Dr Roberts combines computational fluid dynamics (CFD), discrete particle modelling (DPM), and experimental techniques to advance industrial dust mitigation, particularly in mining and bulk handling. His work includes foundational studies on spray performance, validation of aerosol simulations, and development of high‑pressure spray technologies used in industry.
He is actively engaged in industry collaboration and consulting through Bulk Materials Engineering Australia.
