Toxic & Harmful Gas Detection for Full-range Chemical Park Safety Control

Underground coal mining faces major safety threats from flammable and toxic gas accumulation, while traditional monitoring solutions suffer from low accuracy and monitoring blind spots.

DUTESI’s intelligent underground gas monitoring system adopts self-developed high-precision sensors and cloud transmission technology to deliver 24/7 full-coverage real-time gas detection and intelligent early warning. It effectively eliminates underground safety risks, improves mine safety management, and supports intelligent and standardized coal mine production.

Project Background

Industry Pain Points and Safety Challenges

Underground coal mining features complex and enclosed operating environments with limited ventilation conditions. Multiple toxic, harmful, flammable and explosive gases including methane, carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide and sulfur dioxide are continuously generated during mining, tunneling and transportation processes. The accumulation and over-limit concentration of underground gases are the main causes of mine explosions, poisoning and suffocation accidents, which remain the core difficulties in mine safety management.

Project Construction Requirements

To comply with national coal mine safety production regulations, eliminate potential risks such as gas explosions and personnel poisoning, and realize visualized, digital and intelligent management of underground environmental parameters, coal mining enterprises urgently need a full-coverage underground gas monitoring system with high precision and high stability. The system must adapt to harsh underground working conditions, achieve all-weather accurate detection of gas concentrations, support real-time data upload and automatic over-limit alarm, and build a closed-loop safety monitoring system with complete software and hardware support.

Solution Introduction

Overall Solution Architecture

Targeting complex underground mining scenarios, Henan DUTESI Electronic Technology has developed a customized integrated intelligent underground gas monitoring solution. Based on self-developed high-precision gas sensors, precision detection instruments and intelligent monitoring controllers, combined with cloud data transmission technology, the solution builds a full-chain monitoring system of “front-end collection, mid-end transmission and back-end management”. It covers all high-risk underground areas and realizes uninterrupted 24-hour monitoring of underground gas concentrations and environmental parameters.

Core Applied Products

The project adopts full sets of self-developed and self-produced DUTESI core equipment, including electrochemical, infrared and laser gas sensors, special underground gas detectors and intelligent monitoring controllers. The products can accurately detect common underground hazardous gases such as methane, carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide and acetaldehyde. All products have obtained ATEX explosion-proof certification, CE safety certification and ISO9001 quality management system certification. Fully adapted to underground explosion-proof, dust-proof and moisture-proof working requirements, the equipment delivers superior stability and safety compared with ordinary industrial products.

Core Functional Advantages

Full-coverage Monitoring Without Blind Zones: Monitoring devices can be flexibly deployed in working faces, tunneling roadways, goafs and blind roadways, covering the whole process of coal mining, tunneling and transportation to eliminate monitoring dead angles.
High-precision Real-time Detection: Adopting self-developed high-precision sensing technology, the equipment features fast response and high detection accuracy. It captures subtle changes in gas concentration and uploads data within seconds without delay or omission.
Intelligent Over-limit Early Warning & Alarm: The system is preset with standard safety threshold values. Once the gas concentration exceeds the limit, the device triggers an audible and visual alarm immediately and synchronously uploads data to the background terminal, enabling management personnel to take timely disposal measures and avoid potential safety hazards.
High Stability for Harsh Working Conditions: After strict environmental testing, the equipment can operate stably for a long time in underground environments with high dust, high humidity, temperature difference changes and strong electromagnetic interference, with extremely low failure rate.
Digital Data Management: The system supports real-time data storage, historical record query and statistical analysis, helping enterprises optimize safety production systems and realize refined and digital mine safety management.

Project Implementation

On-site Deployment Plan

According to the underground roadway layout, operating area distribution and high-risk point distribution of the coal mine, the project adopts a hybrid deployment mode of “fixed installation + intensive layout”. Monitoring devices are densely arranged in core operating areas such as mining and tunneling working faces, and fixed monitoring terminals are installed at roadway entrances, ventilation nodes and surrounding goafs. Equipped with professional transmission lines to ensure stable signal transmission, the solution realizes three-dimensional full-coverage underground monitoring.
