Developing a Mechanised Cleaning System – for Cleaning Under and Around Moving Conveyors

Follow on review of mechanised conveyor cleaning equipment close to being usable underground, flameproof and not, written to help the coal industry agree which options to develop.

by J Maaren (Mechaneer CC) | September 2013

What this report found

No flameproof mechanised system for cleaning under and around moving conveyors was found to exist anywhere. Of more than 200 mini machinery manufacturers identified worldwide, few build for mining, and only one or two products were near ready for surface use. Manufacturer interest in mining applications has since risen, but the industry has not settled on which technology to back.

What this report found

Market prices are set out for sodium sulphate, sodium chloride, sodium nitrate, potassium nitrate and potassium chloride, in South Africa and abroad, as at early 2011, with Chinese supplier quotes alongside United States averages. The work was done to test whether salts recovered from mine water brine could be sold at a worthwhile price.

What this report found

A regional monitoring programme was found to be viable and is proposed as a public private partnership covering air emissions, air quality and energy efficiency on the Mpumalanga Highveld. The assessment concluded that the worst health impacts fall on residential areas, driven by inefficient coal burning for heating and by housing sited close to large industry.

What this report found

Electrical and electromagnetic ground surveys were run over a Waterberg profile with borehole logs and three dimensional seismic data as control, to test whether cheaper methods can match seismic reflection for locating coal and faults. Resistivity tomography at two electrode spacings, frequency and time domain electromagnetics, controlled source audio magnetotellurics and magnetics were all acquired. Results are preliminary.
