«Coal Company SIBERIAN»
- Uvalnaya mine
- Uvalnaya coal processing plant
A working face was put into operation in the North-east site of the Uvalnaya mine.
All surface infrastructures were built: two single-circuit power lines VL-220 kV with substation PS-220/35/6.3kV, railway loading station Uvalnaya, objects of the first stage of the coal-sorting station Uvalnaya-Yuzhnaya, access railway, technological road, as well as all the life support facilities of the mine: fans of the mine ventilation, a complex of gas-draining system, a diesel locomotive depot, etc.
The second longwall was put into operation- in the West production site of the Uvalnaya mine.
Uvalnaya coal processing plant was put into operation. High technological level of coal processing and automatization allow for quality control of both incoming raw coal and produced coal concentrate.
Coal chemical laboratory of «Coal Company SIBERIAN» is equipped with modern equipment and certified to determine an extended list of quality indicators of coal concentrate.
Production priority is safety. Reliable degassing and ventilation systems are designed with a significant reserve.
Automated control systems for technological processes reduce the risk of errors due to the influence of the human factor.
A high level of technical and technological solutions allows to carry out work to increase the design capacity of the mining and processing complex to 6.0-6.5 million tones per year.
Production priority is safety
Technical solutions were developed and implemented that made it possible to increase the production capacity for coal processing at the Uvalnaya concentrating plant to 6.5 million tons per year and for coal mining to 6.2 million tones per year at the Uvalnaya mine.
The gas-draining system and ventilation network of the mine are constantly being developed.
The implementation of the project for the construction of the second stage of the Uvalnaya Yuzhnaya coal sorting station with a capacity of 5.0 million tones per year has been completed.
The implementation of a joint project with «Russian Railways» for the thechnical connection of the railway transportation networks of «Coal Company SIBERIAN» to the infrastructure of «Russian Railways» at the Bardino railway station was completed, allowing to increase the volume of loading of coal products to 5.0 million tones per year.
In 2021, to open up reserves at the Uvalny Severny site, 609 m of opening capital workings were completed (northern conveyor and ventilation crosscuts).
As a result of the implementation of a joint project with «Russian Railways», the capacity at the Bardino railway station was increased from 206 to 406 cars per day, and it became possible to send heavy trains in the Far Eastern direction.
The use of up to 95% treated water has significantly reduced the consumption of natural water taken from water supply sources and reduced the discharge of wastewater into the reservoir.
A post-treatment system based on MOTIMO ultrafiltration membrane modules was put into operation at the plant’s treatment facilities. This allowed us to achieve the highest degree of water purification.
Started vertical planning of the Northern (Severny) production site.
In 2022, to open and prepare reserves at the Uvalny Northern (Severny) site, 2 570 m of capital mining and development workings were completed (flank conveyor and ventilation slopes (north), ventilation and conveyor drifts of the starting longwall).
Started construction of facilities of the Northern industrial site.
In 2023, to open and prepare reserves at the Uvalny Northern (Severny) site, 5 084 m of capital mining and development workings were completed (ventilation and conveyor drifts of the starting longwall, northern ventilation and track shafts).
A decision was made to construct vertical ventilation shaft of Uvalnaya mine and construction of technological highway to industrial site of vertical shaft was started.
A modernization of gas control and degassing complexes at flank production site #2 was carried out, as part of which 2 additional modules based on “RBS-165” vacuum pumps were installed.
