Benefits Of Using Propane For Mining
Propane is the affordable, safe and high-performing fuel source that is essential in Canadian mining operations. On-site, off-grid power generation can keep operations running smoothly and eliminate downtime. Propane is also incredibly versatile and can be used in every phase of your mining operation. As experts in the industry, we can make recommendations for tanks sizes and propane uses, including plans to increase the overall efficiency and functionality of the site.
Propane-Powered Mining Applications
- Mine-Shaft Heating
Heating mine shafts through portable or permanent space heaters and other heating appliances powered by propane is a safe alternative to other options. Not only are propane-emissions safe, but it is also a stable and reliable fuel source.
- Power Generation
Whether you’re running equipment or water heaters, propane-powered generators are an excellent item to keep on hand for both primary and backup power uses.
- Mineral Refining
Mineral refining is a complicated process that requires a robust and powerful fuel source. Propane is perfect for the job because of its versatility and affordability.
- Vehicles
Light and medium-duty vehicles on mining sites can easily be converted into auto propane cars and trucks. Converting your fleet saves money over time as propane is a more affordable fuel source. Propane-powered vehicles are also better for the environment than diesel and gasoline.
High Performance. Low Emissions
When you’re on-site at a mining facility, harmful and potent fuel emissions can cause problems to workers and crews, not to mention the environment. As a society, we’re constantly looking for ways to take better care of our environment, combat climate change, and reduce pollution in the air. Propane, as a clean-burning fuel, can address all of these issues. Using propane in Canadian mining operations can ensure optimal performance in addition to playing a significant part in our country’s efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
