The mining industry plays a vital role in the economy of a country. Coal is a natural fuel that can be derived only by mining. However, working in coal mines is a dangerous job due to high inflammable nature of coal. Thus, mine owners need to adopt many security measures to ensure the safety of their workers. Nitrogen is an inert gas that is useful in preventing accidental fire in the mine, which can otherwise turn disastrous. MVS Engineering Pvt. Ltd provides onsite nitrogen generators that produce nitrogen for coal mining.
Benefits of using nitrogen for coal mining
Nitrogen has been proven to be a useful gas for coal mines. The following are the advantages of choosing nitrogen for coal mining. Thus, nitrogen generators of MVS Engineering are very popular among coal mine owners.
Prevents fire in coal mines – Due to the inertness of nitrogen, it is introduced to reduce the oxygen level inside a coal mine. As oxygen is an easily inflammable gas, lesser oxygen in the air diminishes the huge risk of mine fire and helps in keeping mine workers safer.
Puts off mine fire easily – If a fire breaks out in a coal mine, it becomes very tough for firefighters to extinguish the spreading fire that tends to engulf the entire mine. It is seen that nitrogen is more effective for this purpose compared to water, sand, foam, or common fire extinguishers. Thus, the presence of an onsite nitrogen generator can help them by producing large volumes of nitrogen.
Makes abandoned mines inert – There are high risks of explosions in abandoned coal mines due to the confined gas that becomes inflammable when it comes in contact with the oxygen in the air. Hence, it is essential to make the atmosphere of those mines inert, which can be done only by introducing an abundant quantity of nitrogen there. Onsite nitrogen gas plant produces nitrogen to reduce the oxygen level to less than 10%.

The nitrogen generator of MVS Engineering is easily portable due to its convenient size and design. Thus, it can be easily moved away from an abandoned coal mine after making air inert there. Pure nitrogen is produced from this gas plant, which flows out at high speed and reaches the depth of mines very quickly. Hence, this nitrogen generator is reliable to all mine owners for supplying nitrogen for coal mining.
