built by operators, for operators

THE CHALLENGE

Underground coal mining operations regularly encounter gas drainage boreholes during development and production. When intersected, these boreholes can release methane directly into mine airways, creating significant safety risks and production delays.

Traditional management approaches are often inconsistent, time-consuming, and can lead to:

• Uncontrolled gas releases into active mining areas
• Extended production stoppages during treatment
• Inconsistent sealing that requires rework
• Increased exposure to hazardous environments
• Compliance issues with mining regulations

These challenges are compounded by pressure to maintain production schedules, often leading to compromised solutions that don't adequately address the underlying problems.

THE SOLUTION

Innovative Gas Management for Underground Mining

The Proflow Gas Bypass System represents a breakthrough in managing gas borehole intersections in underground coal mining. Developed by mining professionals who understand the daily challenges of underground operations, our patent-pending solution addresses the critical issues of safety, efficiency, and production continuity.

Unlike traditional approaches that can be time-consuming and inconsistent, our system provides a standardised method for quickly sealing and redirecting gas flow when boreholes are intersected during mining operations. This practical innovation means less downtime, enhanced safety, and more reliable production schedules.

  • Rapid Deployment

    "Our gas borehole bypass system can be quickly installed with minimal operational disruption. Designed by operators who understand the pressures of production schedules, our solution seals and isolates gas flow from boreholes in a fraction of the time compared to traditional methods. This means less downtime and faster return to production."

  • Enhanced Safety

    "Safety is paramount in underground coal mining. Our system minimises methane release during treatment while maintaining consistent gas drainage. By providing reliable sealing and controlled gas management, we reduce exposure risks for your team and help maintain compliance with strict safety regulations."

  • Production Continuity

    "Mining operations can't afford unnecessary stoppages. Our efficient processes for managing gas borehole intersections reduce downtime and maintain production. The Proflow system integrates seamlessly with existing operations, allowing you to maintain production targets while effectively managing gas challenges."
