Nitrogen Generators for Coal Mining Sites - Mining - Coal Mining
Coal mines utilise nitrogen to undertake a process commonly referred to in Australia as inertisation. This is the process of taking nitrogen from the surface and pumping it underground to inert the underground workings. In recent years, new developments in high-wall mining equipment mean there is now also a requirement for inertisation in some high-wall mining applications.
It is accepted that with low levels of oxygen, the risk of explosion or fire being supported is reduced and so inertisation works by displacing oxygen in the area in question and thereby reducing the risk of fire or explosion.
Many mines are obliged under regulation to inert or at the minimum have the capability on site to inert if required. Flow rates for this inertisation process will vary by site however commonly the purity accepted for this practice is between 95-97%.
