The Cygnus 1 Ex is distinguished by its full intrinsic safety certification, enabling it to operate in all hazardous gas environments – including ATEX / IECEx / UKEX Zones 0, 1, and 2 – as well as coal mines and combustible dust zones (21 and 22). Where many UTGs require shutdowns or hot-work permits, the Cygnus 1 Ex allows safe, frequent in-service ...
Certified to IECEx, ATEX, and UKEX standards, it is the world’s only fully certified intrinsically safe ultrasonic thickness gauge (UTG) approved for ATEX Zone 0 – the highest safety classification – delivering unmatched reliability in ALL hazardous gas environments (Zone 0, 1, 2), coal mines and combustible dust environments (Zone 21, 22). ...
Explosive dust environments pose serious risks across many industries, often leading to catastrophic damage and tragic loss of life. When airborne dust particles accumulate in confined spaces and encounter an ignition source - such as electrical or thermal equipment - the result can be a powerful explosion caused by rapid pressure build-up. ...
This includes coal mines. When the rock is crushed, it disperses dust into the surroundings. When transported, the rock often gets knocked and damaged, throwing more dust into the air. What’s more, coal mining releases methane gas, which collects in coal rock over millennia. ...
In the US, the Biden administration has agreed to limit workers exposure to silica dust in mining, particularly when drilling for coal, ore and completing other mining operations. In April 2024, a ruling was announced to reduce the allowable silica dust levels in mining operations to 50 micrograms per cubic ...
New test findings released, confirm the efficacy of a world-first real-time monitor for silica dust, which represents a revolution in the protection for workers exposed to respirable crystalline silica (RCS) dust. ...
Summary: Eco-friendly dust control solutions can offer a sustainable, cost-effective, and safer alternative for mining companies looking to transition to greener mining practices. With the increased pressure on the industry to reduce their environmental footprint, eco-friendly dust control solutions can benefit both the ...
As we close out yet another year, I am filled with pride and gratitude for what we’ve achieved together. We’ve had our share of challenges (because there would be no growth without some pain!). Still, we’ve also experienced some pretty amazing successes that will no doubt, serve as the foundation for more successes in the new year! But most importantly, it has been a year where ...
The issue of drought is becoming increasingly dire. According to the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification, 1.84 billion people across 101 countries face drought conditions, with 4.7% of them in conditions that are considered severe or extreme drought[1]. The World Health Organization (WHO) warns that by the year 2030, 700 million people could be at risk of displacement due to ...
As a result, the sensor excels in accurately providing PM1 concentrations for sources primarily influenced by combustion (such as traffic, residential wood burning, and wildfires), PM2.5 concentrations dominated by long-range transport, and PM10 concentrations driven by abrasive processes (such as road dust, sandstorms, construction, and mining). The ...

With an eye on a brave new post-COVID world, Canadian politicians and industry leaders are issuing a clarion call for new clean technology leadership to provide enticing jobs while they save us from galloping climate horrors. The global cleantech market is expected to surpass $2.5 trillion by 2022, and into this landscape the Government of Canada has committed more than $3.3 billion to support ...
Product specification The series 0342/0343 is approved according to ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU and IECEx scheme for explosion protection zones 1+2 (gas), 21+22 (dust) and mining (methane and coal dust). The ATEX pressure switches with protection insulation of protection class II are suited for supply voltages up to 250 V. ...
Professor Emeritus Phillips, head of the Wits School of Mining Engineering from 1986 to 2009, has been a leading light in mine safety and health research for decades. ...

Macrotek Inc., a global supplier of air pollution control equipment, announced successful bid of a dust collector system contract for a new gold mine in Eurasia. Macrotek will design and build two enhanced dust collection systems, including collectors with advanced filter media, support steel, a fan and stack. ...
In the newly created post, he will oversee the company's regional sales managers and network of dust, mist, and fume collection equipment distributors and representatives in the United States and Canada. ...
Under a series of rulings by U.S. judges in Denver over the last year, federal agencies that approve mining projects have been told to take into account coal's indirect environmental impact along with traditional concerns about mine dust and equipment emissions. ...
Deep concern Beyond pollution and health, there is also deep concern over the impact of coal-mining on local communities. Residents of Chilika Daad, a village in the coal-rich Sonebhadra district of Uttar Pradesh state, told The Guardian newspaper in London that they were tired of the blasting and the dust. ...
