On the website of the supplier of equipment for the mining industry https://balkancorex.rs a wide range of industrial ventilation equipment is presented, including gas extraction units widely used in mining operations to prevent methane explosions.
This natural gas constantly arrives at the workings from the cracks of the extracted rocks and when the concentration of the gas mixture reaches its peak limit, even a small spark can lead to a catastrophe.
Gas extraction plants are used to remove methane from stagnation sites and mining areas and replace it with fresh air to prevent explosions.
The design of the equipment for the removal of gas-air mixtures from underground workings provides for the presence of a powerful fan powered by an engine reliably protected from explosions. The unit sucks the air-methane mixture into special wells or redirects it to the existing rigid shaft ventilation systems, in which the gas is completely removed.
The gas extraction units supplied by Sankorex-M are characterized by increased resistance to mechanical damage. They have been certified and are optimally suited for ventilation of dead ends of mines with a high dust content of up to 150 mg/ cubic meter at humidity up to 90% and t from 228 to 323 K.
