MINES DE CHARBON EN PENNSYLVANIE DIGITAL DETONATORS KEEP PA COAL MINE OPERATING
The state of Pennsylvania was at one time one of the leading coal producing states in the east. However, legislation and industry trends over the last 10 years have adversely affected the amount of bituminous coal mined in Pennsylvania and the whole eastern United States. The application for and approval of a new mining permit is a very costly and arduous task. When a new mining operation is established it is crucial that nothing within the operator's control causes the operation to stop producing.
The introduction of electronic detonators has enabled this coal mine to stay in business. The implementation of electronic detonators in conjunction with "State of the Art" analytical and design techniques has successfully demonstrated the usefulness of programmable electronic detonators. This scenario can and will be repeated with the same level of success in our industry as we embrace the technology and benefits the electronic detonator has to offer.
