COAL MINE GAS DRAINAGE
Coal seams naturally contain significant amounts of methane, posing safety, operational, and environmental challenges for mining operations. Effective gas drainage is essential for reducing risks, improving efficiency, and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards.
At TES Engineering, we specialise in designing and implementing pre-mining and post-mining gas drainage solutions to enhance mine safety, optimise production, and capture valuable methane for energy use.
Why Gas Drainage Matters?
Enhanced Safety: Methane is highly combustible, and uncontrolled concentrations pose a serious explosion risk. Our pre-drainage solutions lower gas levels, ensuring a safer mining environment.
Regulatory Compliance: Australian mining regulations mandate strict methane management. Our systems help mines meet safety and environmental standards, reducing regulatory risks and penalties.
Operational Continuity: High methane levels can delay production and increase downtime. Our gas drainage solutions ensure uninterrupted coal extraction, improving overall efficiency.
Environmental Benefits: Capturing methane before mining prevents its release into the atmosphere, significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions and supporting sustainability goals.
Energy Recovery: Extracted methane can be processed and utilised as a clean energy source, providing an additional revenue stream for mining operations.
With deep expertise in coal seam gas (CSG) and gas drainage technologies, TES Engineering delivers tailored solutions that enhance mine productivity while minimising environmental impact.
