Call for papers for ventilation conference

The conference will give presenters the chance to exchange information on topics such as ventilation planning, main and booster fans, numerical modelling and integration with planning and remote monitoring.

Diesel emissions control and measurement, heat and refrigeration and coal mine ventilation would also be covered, conference chairman Duncan Chalmers said.

“Ventilation controls form many of the core risk activities in mines,” he said.

“Significant developments in practice and research in recent years has helped ensure that we maintain and improve levels of safety within our underground mining sector.

“The organising committee is resolved to provide an opportunity to present these developments so that the industry can benefit from this collective knowledge.”

As per the previous event in 2011, AusIMM and the UNSW are calling on the expertise from industry and academia to bring about the second in a series of ventilation conferences.

The conference will bring operators, planning personnel, equipment manufacturers and suppliers, government regulators, consultants and research and technology personnel together to explore their achievements.

“Consistent with the aims of AusIMM, the conference will allow members and the industry to keep abreast of views and opinions on technical aspects and provide a forum to air technical and factual information within the minerals industry,” Chalmers said.

Submit an abstract not exceeding 300 words in English to The Australian Mine Ventilation Conference 2013 Speakers’ Portal, available via the conference website: www.austminevent.com.au.

Authors of accepted abstracts will be invited to submit a full paper for inclusion in the conference proceedings.
