-- System improves mine health and safety by providing
clean air for workers, with no impact on productivity.
-- More than 99% of particulates are destroyed, giving the
best possible work environment.
AUDUBON, Pa., April 30, 2019 /PRNewswire/ --Johnson Matthey (LSE: JMAT), a global leader in
science that enables a cleaner and healthier world, introduces an
advanced system to control emissions from diesel underground mining
equipment for healthier work environments.
Mines can be challenging environment for operators looking to
achieve high standards of health and safety. Emissions form part of
the problem, with confined spaces meaning workers can be intimately
exposed to high levels of ultrafine diesel particulate and elevated
levels of NO2 emissions. At the same time, productivity
demands mean there is a critical requirement for equipment
availability.
Johnson Matthey's Mining
CRT® systems are the first technologies proven to
control both diesel particulate matter and harmful NO2
emissions from diesel underground mining equipment. These systems
destroy 99% of the number of particulates, allowing mine operators
to confidently maintain clean air in these confined space
environments.
Johnson Matthey was the first to
develop and patent the Continuously Regenerating Trap (CRT)
technology that uses a catalyst to regenerate the diesel
particulate filter, which traps the particulate matter in diesel
exhaust. The Mining CRT technologies build upon the highly
effective, market-leading CRT technology, and incorporate a
specially formulated catalyst for decomposing harmful
NO2 into a safer emission.
Jack Carroll, Sales Manager,
said: "Mine operators no longer have to choose between miner health
or productivity. Clean air, miner safety, and mine
sustainability can all be accomplished with this very effective
technology."
"And as a world leader in diesel emission control products, for
both on and off highway, we are well placed to ensure- reliability
for very challenging underground mining operations."
