Protecting mining workers OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT
from dust and chemicals is of paramount importance
over a range of concentrations (5.4 - 17%) in air at standard pressure. It has caused a number of disastrous mining explosions - and as it explodes, it produces deadly carbon gases, rapidly consuming oxygen in the process.
How can these problems be avoided?
With the right technology, all these risks can be mitigated and readily identifi ed before operations begin.
Dust detection and fi ltration technology helps protect from hazardous and fi ne dust emitted into the atmosphere – and ensure that permitted exposure levels
Trolex gas detection technology
(PELs) are not exceeded. Trolex provides real-time, accurate dust detection and monitoring with the AirXD, providing operators with continuous information regarding the surrounding environment and alerting them when dust exceeds PELs. T e company also off ers gas
detection and recovery technologies that are rapidly deployable and fully fl exible. Its gas detection solutions use eModules, pre-calibrated input sensing modules designed to detect a range of
toxic and combustible gases. T ese modules can be rapidly
exchanged in real- time for instant calibration and/or maintenance.
It also provides
the latest methane recovery systems, fully compliant
with methane recovery regulation. T ese solutions are suitable for any application – and off er precise methane data recovery. Trolex sells mine ventilation monitoring systems to protect assets, machinery and personnel, using intelligent and energy-effi cient systems to track, monitor and remove hazardous particles in the operational environment. Its ventilation-on-demand (VOD) solutions use airfl ow sensor information to optimise the usage of ventilation fans, improving energy effi ciency, airfl ows and overall air quality. By using the right technologies, safety across mining operations can be considerably increased – and operators will have the tools and protection they need to conduct their activities in the most hazardous environments with confi dence. ●
