Testing Capabilities and Services
Spontaneous combustion is a significant hazard for coal mine operations with the occurrence of spontaneous combustion events often leading to severe outcomes and major disruptions to production. It is therefore essential for coal mines to produce detailed and reliable Principal Hazard Management Plans for Spontaneous Combustion based on accurate measurements of spontaneous combustion behaviour including the propensity of coal to self-heat under in-mine conditions and the associated gas evolution trends with increasing coal temperature.
All testing programs are tailored to suit, as each mine and coal seam occur in different settings, both geographically and geologically. These factors need to be recognised in deciding on testing parameters that are designed to simulate the site specific conditions. As such, each project is developed in consultation with the client to provide the best outcome for management planning.
CB3 offer the following spontaneous combustion tests:
● R70 testing
● SponComSIM™ testing
● SponComGAS™ testing
● SponComBULK™ testing
