Ensuring Safe Environment in Mines & Quarries

<p>Mining and quarrying activities contribute to dust emissions from periodic explosions and heavy transportation vehicles. Subsequently, many industrial processes emit particulate matter mainly mineral, metallic, and wood dust. This phenomenon worsens air quality and increases the cases of respiratory ailments like asthma, bronchitis, etc. Real-time air quality monitoring of PM1, PM2.5, PM10, PM100, and other air quality parameters can enable the authorities in the mines and quarries. The data collected on these parameters are useful to generate alerts and alarms on the basis of the custom threshold set by regulators. Setting thresholds on the dust levels can provide relevant alerts for the authorities and regulatory bodies.</p>

Monitoring Air Quality to Avoid Health and Safety Hazards

Automating Dust Suppression

Automating Dust Suppression

<p>Most mining sites and quarries require dust suppressors to reduce the particulate matter and other air pollutants effectively. By installing Oizom’s smart, accurate, and robust Dust monitoring system around the sites, dust impact is quantified. Setting thresholds on the dust levels can trigger signals to the mist (or water) cannons for switching ON/OFF. Optimized power consumption and manpower are crucial for mines. Automation enables efficient air quality monitoring in mines and quarries.</p>

Optimized Power Consumption

Efficient Dust Control

Less Manpower

Prediction of Dust Storms

Prediction of Dust Storms

<p>Some of the mining sites are situated in places that are prone to severe weather conditions that include Dust storms, which cause a great threat to the workers and the progress made with the work. Dust monitoring along with weather monitoring can be drawn in and around the mining site to help shed light on the weather conditions. It can give timely notifications and alerts to the authorities in case of sandstorms and other unpredictable weather conditions. Oizom’s monitors provide real-time air quality and weather monitoring data insights so that the authorities can take actions to safeguard the workers and the property from damage.</p>

Dust Pollution Due to Vehicular Movement

Dust Pollution Due to Vehicular Movement

<p>Mining activities in general include the transportation of minerals in trucks and heavy earth movers. This leads to high road dust making it an unsafe environment for workers. A smart and robust dust monitoring solution - Dustroid helps in tracking real-time dust pollution. The authorities can receive accurate readings of the dust dispersion from such activities and generate reports to ensure the safety and security of the people and environment. This also prompts the authorities to take corrective actions if necessary when such dust-laden activities emit dust levels that cross a particular threshold.</p>
