KHW S.A. chosen economical and technical data (2012 year) Coal production: Coal export: Value of investments: Sales income: Employment: Coal bed methane sales income: 11,6 mil. tons 630 mil. tons 680 mil. PLN 3 807,6 mil. PLN ~ 17,5 ths. persons ~ 2,690 mil. PLN
KHW S.A. chosen economical and technical data (2012 year and 10 months of 2013 year) 2012 10 months 2013 Energetic use of methane in installations of ZEC S.A. 10,24 mil. m 3 15,4 mil. m 3 Thermal energy production from methane (ZEC S.A.): 183 ths. GJ 313 ths. GJ Electrical energy production from methane (ZEC S.A.): 21 GWh 39 GWh Economical effect of using electrical energy produced from methane in KHW S.A.: 690 ths. PLN 895 ths. PLN Reduction of emmission of CO 2 equivalent ~ 182 ths. tons ~ 260 ths. tons 5
Chosen coal bed methane data in mines of KHW S.A. (2012 year) Quantity of methane emitted during exploitation of coal seams: 131,28 mil. m 3 including: - emitted to the atmosphere (by ventilation): 108,89 mil. m 3 - captured in surface drainage stations: 22,39 mil. m 3 - energetically used in installation of Thermal Energy Plants: 10,24 mil.m 3 Reduction of emission to the atmosphere (equivalent of CO 2 ) ~ 182 ths. tons
The example of effective methane drainage of coal seam Present absolute metanovelty of wall 514 in seam 501 part Az - 35,51 m 3 /min Ventilation metanovelty - 10,80 m 3 /min Methane drainage - 24,71 m 3 /min Methane drainage efficiency for wall 514 region vary 50 70%. It is the best result in KHW S.A. and one of the best in polish deep hard coal mines. ŚCIANA 514 pokł. 501 partia Az KWK Mysłowice Wesoła : Methane drainage station Capture of methane - 41,30 m 3 /min Utilization of methane by energy production plants (ZEC) - 80% Długość ściany [m] Wysokość ściany [m] Śr. wydobycie [t/d] 225 do 3,8 m 3000
Management of coal bed methane captured in drainage stations Captured in drainage stations mine methane gas is and will be used by dependent company Zakłady Energetyki Cieplnej S.A. (Thermal Energy Plants) for production of electrical energy and heat (also for production of cold in future) with the environmental effect of reduction of greenhouse gases emmision to the atmosphere
