Proponent: Maestro Mine Ventilation Partners: Status: Complete OBJECTIVE: To manufacturer gas sensors that can be calibrated on surface with zero and span reference gases and then brought to depth without the requirement to re-calibrate at depth. CHALLENGES: Past use of sensors in underground mines has been unreliable due to the difficulty maintaining and calibrating the sensors. As a result, many mines give up or ignore the sensors due to lack of confidence in the readings. Both electrochemical and infra-red sensors are used to measure gas...

Sudbury, ON (June 21, 2017) – After a seven month long build, the Hydraulic Air Compressor (HAC) Demonstrator at Dynamic Earth has officially opened. The 100 feet high (above and below ground) industrial scale system for testing and demonstration of compressed air production is installed in a former elevator shaft at Science North’s Dynamic Earth in Sudbury, ON. This innovative technology provides an energy efficient alternative to conventional mechanical air compression that promises up to 50% savings in lifecycle cost for mine operators and...
