Longwall Respirable Dust Simulator
ROBERT A. HANEY Mine Safety and Health Administration, Pittsburgh Health Technology Center The effectiveness of these dust control techniques has been evaluated primarily through the use of instantaneous dust measurements. These instantaneous dust measurements give a relative indication of whether dust control and -------------------~ employee exposure improve or deteriorate. Because the instan...
متن کاملPrediction of longwall methane emissions and the associated consequences of increasing longwall face lengths: a case study in the Pittsburgh Coalbed
In an effort to increase productivity, many longwall mining operations in the U.S. have continually increased face lengths. Unfortunately, the mining of larger panels may increase methane emissions. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) conducted a mine safety research study to characterize and quantify the methane emissions resulting from increasing face lengths in ...
متن کاملDevelopment and application of reservoir models for the evaluation and optimization of longwall methane control systems
Comprehensive assessments of the need for additional methane control capacity beyond ventilation often require both an empirical and theoretical approach for an adequate or timely control of increased methane emission levels. Thus, the prediction of methane emissions and optimization of methane control systems prior to starting a new mining operation will be a major improvement towards eliminat...
متن کاملOn Diagnosis of Longwall Systems
Nowadays we can observe the change of the structure of energy resources, which leads to the increasing fraction of a renewable energy sources. Traditional underground coal mining loses its significance in a total but there are countries, including Poland, which economy is still coal based. A decreasing coal resources imply an exploitation a becoming harder accessible coal beds what is connected...
متن کاملModeling and prediction of ventilation methane emissions of U.S. longwall mines using supervised artificial neural networks
Methane emissions from a longwall ventilation system are an important indicator of how much methane a particular mine is producing and how much air should be provided to keep the methane levels under statutory limits. Knowing the amount of ventilation methane emission is also important for environmental considerations and for identifying opportunities to capture and utilize the methane for ener...
