NITROGEN GENERATORS FOR COAL MINING

Achieve Coal Mine Safety Regulations for Inert Gas Utilizing Nitrogen Generator Systems
The primary application for nitrogen gas use in the mining industry is extinguishing coal mine fires. However, updated regulations require miners to inert abandoned/worked-out areas of the mines if insufficient seals are installed.
The key initiative in extinguishing a coal mine fire is to reduce oxygen content of the combustive gases below the lower limit of explosion (LEL). Specialty foams are occasionally injected with nitrogen gas to help seal off air ingress to the fire and help cool the surface of the coal embers after the LEL has been achieved. Injection continuously is required for days, even months in some cases. Hauling or using nitrogen to mining location is costly and yields safety concerns. A more reliable and cost effective method is to generate nitrogen on-site by utilizing a robust Gaztron Nitrogen Generation System.
