How Emerson's Solutions Measure Compressed Air Flow Non-Intrusively in Underground Mines
1:46
Emerson offers advanced gas flow measurement solutions to improve the efficiency and energy performance of compressed air systems in underground mining operations. These technologies provide real-time, accurate data to detect leaks, optimize air usage, reduce energy consumption, and support safer, more sustainable mining operations. • Challenges in traditional compressed air systems: Complex underground pipe networks and inaccessible infrastructure make it difficult to detect and diagnose leaks, leading to wasted energy, inefficient air distribution, increased operational costs, and heavy reliance on manual inspections. • Innovative monitoring technology: Emerson's Flexim FLUXUS® G601 portable gas flowmeter uses non-intrusive, clamp-on ultrasonic technology to deliver fast, accurate airflow measurements without system shutdowns or invasive installation, enabling reliable monitoring even in harsh, moisture-prone underground environments. • Benefits of Emerson's solution: Real-time leak detection and airflow monitoring improve energy efficiency, reduce compressor load, and enhance preventative maintenance strategies—helping mining operations achieve safer, more reliable, and environmentally sustainable performance.
