Optimized Mine Ventilation On Demand (OMVOD) |
|
The OMVOD system is purpose built for the mining industry to meet specific business and technical objectives where ventilation may impact sustainability. The OMVOD development has been fuelled by extensive industry feedback that continuously drives its evolution. OMVOD functional capabilities: ü Challenge existing and new ventilation design and performance through engineering analysis for total system optimization ü Support full life cycle of ventilation projects from system engineering, to operations monitoring, control and expansion planning ü Optimize ventilation energy consumption to obtain savings that can potentially exceed 50% ü Maximize production through optimum air distribution ü Provide ventilation calculations results quicker and more accurately than with currently available commercial ventilation engineering analysis tools. Provide calculation results in real-time to enable control ü Provide a standalone mine ventilation design / planning tool that will be utilized “as-is” for control and optimization ü Enhance health & safety ü Trace and document regulatory compliance ü Production enhancement & optimized air distribution ü Optimized energy consumption ü Optimize the air distribution, maximize production on each level and reduce operating costs by optimizing the fans energy consumption ü Minimum system maintenance requirement and maximum configuration capability to satisfy on-going mine expansion ü Phased approach projects to minimize customer risk and to maximize the returns ü Integrated approach for the system design, operation and maintenance to assure the realization of the business objectives ü Integrated approach for control, optimization, system operators, personnel and machinery tracking while satisfying all levels of controls ü Integrated and user friendly environment for surface and underground operators ü System that minimizes external systems integration and therefore technical risks ü System that requires minimum maintenance effort and diversity of skills ü System with a high level of availability ü Possible turnkey projects with ABB for electrification, fan motors and drives, air flow regulators, air quality and flow instrumentation, automation, communications (voice and data), tracking and installation |
