MethaSperse
Hydraulic-Powered Methane Dispersion and Dust Suppression System
- Effective dust suppression and Methane (CH4) dispersion directly at the coal face
- This dual-inlet medium system atomizes water into a very fine mist, which clings to airborne dust particles and removes them from the air
- This increases visibility directly at the coal face, improves the health and safety of the equipment operators, and reduces downtime due to dust and CH4 trips
- German-made rotary screw encapsulated air compressor
- Very compact and fitted directly onto the Continuous Miner (CM)
- Mobile compressed air available underground, directly at the coal face
- No additional auxiliary/offboard hoses required. Everything needed is included onboard the CM
- Powered using hydraulic capacity off of the CM
- Easily accessible and easily maintained from the side of the CM, behind protection panels
- An array of air atomizing nozzles are installed on the cutter frame, above the cutter drum, in a custom-made protection frame
- Warranty covering hydraulic motor and compressor
