Gas drainage is a critical process in coal mining, essential for both safety and sustainability. Eneraque provides customised gas flare systems tailored to coal mines for efficient extraction and management of gas from both active and exhausted mines. Once extracted, the gas can be reused in a controlled manner, enhancing mine safety and providing a cost-effective fuel source for electricity generation.
Key Features and Benefits of Eneraque’s Gas Flares
- Efficient Methane Combustion: Optimised for methane gas within a specified operational range.
- Automated Control Systems: For seamless operation and enhanced safety.
- Concealed Combustion: Ensures safe, controlled flaring with minimal visual impact.
- High Combustion Temperatures: Operates between 1,000°C and 1,200°C.
- Sufficient Residence Time: Over 0.3 seconds, ensuring thorough gas treatment.
- Advanced Insulation: Insulated combustion chamber with ceramic fibre coating for enhanced safety and performance.
- Compliant with ATEX Standards: Meeting the highest international safety and environmental regulations.
Environmentally Responsible Gas Flare Solutions
Pre-draining gas before coal mining not only enhances safety but also significantly reduces environmental impact. Uncaptured gas, if left unburnt, would contribute to a carbon footprint 21 times larger compared to flaring. Eneraque’s fully enclosed coal mine gas flares, installed at major sites across Australasia, meet stringent H16/-3T global emissions standards, offering an eco-friendly solution for methane management.
Environmental Benefits
- Low Noise: Quiet operation, ideal for sensitive sites.
- Low Emission: Minimised emissions in compliance with global standards.
- Low Risk: Safe for surrounding environments, including protection against grass fires.
- Low Visual Impact: Concealed design for minimal disruption to the landscape.
Comprehensive Flare Solutions
Eneraque designs, commissions, installs, and provides ongoing support for coal mine gas flaring facilities with capacities up to 10,000 m³/hr. These flares efficiently manage pre-drainage gas from underground coal mines, processing methane with a purity of 90-98% CH₄, ensuring a safe and sustainable solution for the mining industry.
