Effectively used a CPR system for many years.With the transition to mobile electric fleets and improvements in the ventilation monitoring and control systems, CPR systems could be implemented safely in more mines to recycle the ventilation air and significantly reduce ventilation requirements.Striving to make ventilation more affordable and sustainableApplying the 3Rs to ventilation system designs can help a mine reduce its energy use, and subsequently, its carbon footprint. These enhancements can result in lower operational costs as a result of needing less energy. It also means lower capital cost due to smaller ventilation and associated infrastructure.When considering ventilation and cooling/heating options for underground mines, it is important to innovate and incorporate sustainable design practices. Through creative thinking, our mines can be ventilated affordably and sustainably. Kim Trapani is a ventilation engineer with experience across the mining and energy sectors. Her area of focus is on underground mine ventilation. Her experience includes the design of primary and secondary ventilation systems, traditional chiller refrigeration and direct combustion heating systems, the design of innovative thermal storage systems for heating and cooling, and the design of underground ventilation infrastructure equipment, including ventilation on demand systems.
