Nitrogen Inerting for Mine Seals
On October 20, 2008, MSHA issued the Final Rule for submitting a mine seal design for approval. The Final Rule focuses on the strength, construction, maintenance, and repair of mine seals and also includes requirements for sampling and controlling the atmospheres behind seals. Under the Final Rule if a mine operator monitors and maintains the atmosphere of the sealed area as inert, seals must be designed to withstand 50 psi overpressure. If a mine operator does not monitor and maintain the atmosphere of the sealed area as inert, seals must be designed to withstand 120 psi overpressure or greater. The Final Rule does not require mine operators to upgrade seals constructed prior to May 2, 2007; however the atmosphere behind these seals must be continuously monitored and kept inert. Nitrogen generators from On Site Gas Systems provide a safe and economical solution to the mining industry to keep the atmosphere behind sealed areas inert; either from a nearby underground location or from above ground. We have the expertise and experience to help you find the best nitrogen generation solution.
