ABSTRACT
Purpose. The article considers the
issue of improving the regulatory framework of Ukraine for air-gas control
(AGC) at coal enterprises. Based on the long-term examination of AGC
projects of many coal enterprises of Ukraine, which is in the IGTM of NAS
of Ukraine, analyzed some shortcomings and ways to adjust regulations that
determine the quality of projects of AGC systems and the level of operation
of these systems in real coal mine.
The purpose of the
article is to substantiate and develop proposals for the adjustment of
regulatory documents regarding air and gas control (AGC) at coal
enterprises of Ukraine.
It is noted that
the normative Instructions should take into account the means of continuous
automatic measurement of dust concentration in mine air for sanitary and
hygienic control, technological control of mine atmosphere and reduction of
dust and explosion hazard, which should be part of the AGC system. It is
also necessary to indicate the location of the dust control sensors and to
which maximum concentration limits these sensors are set.
The instructions
should include standards to ensure that the AGC system continuously
monitors the concentration of carbon monoxide in the mine air in order to
detect signs of underground fires and their early (initial) stages. Also,
mines of all categories must be equipped with stationary sensors of
hydrogen and oxygen, and mines that are dangerous for the release of carbon
dioxide - stationary sensors of carbon dioxide. If necessary, the AGC
system should measure (control) the concentration of hydrogen sulfide,
nitrogen oxide, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide and other hazardous and
harmful gases.
The article, in
addition to the existing Instructions, specifies the locations of
stationary sensors for monitoring the concentration of methane in gas
mines, as well as sensors for monitoring the speed and direction of air
(air flow).
Given these
shortcomings, the emergence of new means of control, processing, analysis
and storage of data, new software, as well as new requests to improve
occupational safety in mines, there is a need to create a new specialized
regulatory document for design and operation AGC systems at coal
enterprises of Ukraine.
