Details

  • Description:
    The Brunswick Mine Diesel Particulate Filter Study was one of several research projects initiated by the Diesel Emissions Evaluation Program (DEEP). The study was carried out at Noranda’s Brunswick Mine in Bathurst, New Brunswick by Noranda Technology Centre and Brunswick Mine personnel with the collaboration of Natural Resources Canada - Canada Centre for Minerals and Energy Technology (CANMET), National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), Andreas Mayer of VERT, and diesel particulate filter (DPF) system suppliers. The DEEP program had identified diesel particulate filter (DPF) systems as the most promising technology to provide 90% or better reduction in particulate matter emissions from diesel-powered underground mining vehicles [Mayer A. 1998]. The purpose of the Noranda Brunswick Mine project was to determine the effectiveness, durability, reliability, and economic viability of current generation DPF technology when applied in underground mining operations.
