AB for Mining

AB cogeneration plants, with the ECOMAX® Special Gas line, can be powered by the gas recovered during the coal processing processes, thus providing a solution for transforming a hazardous gas into a valuable energy source, guaranteeing safety, environmental sustainability and economic benefits.

Cogeneration produces both thermal and electrical energy, which can be used for the different needs of the mining site. Any electricity surplus can also be sold to the network, ensuring a reduction in electricity costs and a consequent generation of income.

The treatment of emissions into the atmosphere is managed with innovative solutions for controlling pollutants, capable of eliminating carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and volatile organic substances present in the combustion fumes of special gas-powered motor-generators.

Methane is captured and transformed, preventing it from being released into the atmosphere without being adequately processed and reducing the risk of sanctions for methane emissions. The damage related to the greenhouse effect and global warming is also limited, but the safety of the sites is also improved, avoiding the risk of uncontrolled explosions.

The availability of thermal and electrical energy ensured by the AB plants operating in the mining sector has reached averages of over 95%.

The distinctive features of AB plants are the high quality of the components and the accurate after-sales service. 

In addition to being optimized in terms of space, noise and emissions, AB plants are installed and commissioned in a short time, in line with pre-established budgets and specific areas of application.
