Compressors designed for the Mining Industry

Mining is one of the largest and most significant industries across the globe. It is also one of the most dangerous. Mining for natural gases can pose many challenges and handling volatile gases takes high levels of precision.

One such risky gas is methane. After coal mines are shut down, coal mine gas, as well as methane, can continue to escape to the surface of the earth. This build-up of emissions can be very dangerous. The risk of ignition, as well as the dangers of actually breathing in the gas, are both challenging issues for miners.

Compressed air systems that are specifically designed for use in volatile environments can be very effective in extracting methane gas. Blowers and vacuum pumps for coal mining operations can safely extract, compress, process, and handle methane.
