World Leading windows-based software packages for Mine ventilation, cooling and environment control

Since the launch of VUMA-network, there has been an increasing need from colliery environmental control personnel for a coal-specific network simulator, which excludes thermodynamic aspects and focuses more on coal-specific ventilation issues.

Introducing VUMA-coal, a coal mine specific ventilation network simulation package developed for the unique needs and challenges of the coal mining ventilation fraternity.

VUMA-coal solves airflow and pollutant [dust, gas, smoke] distributions interactively throughout a coal mine ventilation circuit.

The solution algorithm assumes compressible air for enhanced accuracy.

The construction and graphical representation of VUMA-coal models are representative of coal mine layouts and mining methods.

The solution engine of the package contains effective and specialized modeling algorithms for main developments, production developments, wall leakage paths, air crossings, fans [utilizing fan curves], and production sections [bord-and-pillar and longwall mining sections].
