Project 2.9.6 Preventing Cutting Head Methane Emissions On Continuous Miners
Simulation work on face ventilation in mechanised coal sections, with methane sources modelled from the cut face, gathering arms, conveyors and shuttle cars. For ventilation engineers and equipment manufacturers.
By D Marais & AP Cook | April 2020
Computational fluid dynamics, checked against underground measurements, mapped ventilation flow and methane concentration around continuous miner headings for straights and splits, single and double scrubbers, side and straight scrubber discharges, jet fans, brattices and force columns. It showed the earlier physical test work cannot predict contaminant flow for larger machines or altered scrubber layouts.

R1500,00
Sets out good practice for planning, implementing, monitoring and adaptively managing land rehabilitation at surface coal mines, with generic rehabilitation objectives, implementation actions and suggested relinquishment criteria for each component. It updates guidance first issued in 1981 and revised in 2007, reflecting later changes to South African rehabilitation legislation.
