“A Mine Facility”

 

Executive Summary:

Here with this project study report we are going to learn about the system design process of a project with the use of theories and principles governing designing and development of system design. We try to learn about the conceptual and detail design development of a system and try to learn any defects generally remain in the system and the study of available options to overcome from the defects.

1.     A Brief Introduction about the report:

The present study report explains the system design development about the mine facility being used by an organization and how the entire system design being developed. The report also study the theories and principles based on the system design being developed and detailed examination of the system design development, the problem faced in a development process and a recommendations to overcome from that problems. The mine facility generally being used by big projects involved in rail transport, oil or gas pipeline, coal preparation plant, etc.          So, here we are going to learn about the mine facility being used mainly by coal preparation organization. How the entire system being designed to prepare coal material taken from mine, the conceptual design of the process, technology used, preliminary and detail design of the process, etc.

2.     Analysis of the System Design Process:

System designing of any process is always being crucial as it is the first step based on which entire processes have to run through. System design should be done in a way that it could serve the objective of the project. As we know in recent times the mining production developing is increasingly with fast rate, and so that each and every phase of the production require well care of process design. Along with that the safety measures also to be considered while designing the system. With passage of time the mining system engineering and technology and computer applications being used gradually with development in technology.

§  Conceptual System Design:

In terms of conceptual design of the system for coal mining facility, this report study projected to guide us about underground accident management of information system in mining. By making research in systematic way, we try to learn that how different factors being depend on the design of the system of mine facility and that help us to understand the concept of systematization, standardization concept and electronic mine production management and protection of accidents related information, the collection of  mine production protection data information, the study of how to increase the strength of production safety management, how to increase the level of safety information sharing, how to get better the efficiency of structure protection management. With the implementation of the system, leaders can have proper privileges for the personnel working anywhere.

System Design Principle:

Based on the overall objective of the development of the design of system, we required to follow information centralization ideas , data collection and integration and integration of system, use superior, economic,  mature, appropriate, trustworthy, down to business technology, go after the incorporated management, integrated planning, incorporated standard, thinking of  integrated resource management, in the process of  system development and design, we required to acquire  the following kind of  principles in order to make best design  of  system:

(1) Simple operation: Normally a graphical frame used by system with spontaneous operation and at the same level of time frame, it can also have an ability to provide online instructions and facilitation, and in those circumstances the user can also simply finish all the operations at their own or with the help of other person also.

(2) Applicability: Generally System makes the entire research and analysis of requirements of user for the purpose of establishes a system which would have ability to satisfy the needs of the work actual being originally determined. Generally every system is being designed in a way that it is more found closer to the needs of the work which is  actually required to be done, to solve protection problems in the practical work. So system design should be one which can give satisfaction in terms of safety measures.

(3) Ease of maintenance: With the use of standard model of software development and specialized method of design, the data base design reasonable to the requirement parts, taking into consideration the structural design when the development of design is through and module splitting up of the system. The reduction of the coupling between modules which confirm that the program has been easy to retain and if any modifications is required to make then it could be also possible in that case.

(4) Reusability: The consideration of the reusability is that it provides guarantees in terms of system recourse, so that we shall be able to make full use of the existing recourse and upgrading of the system also possible.

(5) System reliability: The designed system must satisfy the reliability of the normal conditions, and also able to handle in abnormal conditions also, this gives assurance about the performance of the system in all the circumstances.

§  Preliminary System Design for Mining facilities of coal preparation :

Feasible and operational plan for improvement of mine planning process:

Improvement process for mine operational and feasible plan should be a practical and cost effective. That can be possible with the help of expert only. For improvement there is some different kind of plan available with the mining experts who can advice us for implementation of high level plan for both mines i.e. Greenfield operation and existing operation of mining. Improvement in mining facility includes maximization of investment from mines through improvement in feasible and operation plan of mining, understood the requirement of mines and then identification of optimum development strategy.

There is some plan and design which meet the international standard of design and plan that includes JORC, NI 43-101, SAMREC and SEC.

Mining system design and implementation includes Design of the mining sequence, Selection of equipment which is required for mining process, understood the number of labour requirements and cost estimates related to the labour and other cost related to mines. Facility design includes office, maintenance shop, change house, electrical substation, water supply, handling or preparation systems and access of plan, Reclamation plan, Estimation of operating and capital cost of mine, Evaluation from the financial perspective. Assumed responsibility for report preparation for financing Major mine planning systems includes  dump designs, schedule block layouts, produce short and long term pit excavation designs, volume balancing for open cuts and similar development, stop and services design for undergrounds.

§  Detail Design and Development:

System Logical Structure: The prioritized requirements of the functional and characteristics of the different modules of the system, being designed as per the specifications being provided by the requirement parts of the different modules being set. And the main four parts of layer being consideration in determination of the modules as a part of logical structure of the system are data layer, model layer, application layer and supporting layer.

System generally starts working based on the working personnel available in the mining. The minimum number of individuals of persons and equipment available at the process for production. For example environmental management is taken into account for implementation of the whole mine production process and the possibility of safety on early warning, and take care of corresponding measures as per the conditions prevailing based on the results of the early warning, then the system must be able to feedback the proper action according to situation so as to implement the close-loop management system.

Development Method: The method being used in the development of the system must be based on latest technology and with the use of latest equipments, the use of browser and server for the operation of the system must be done as per the latest technology available, for example using the JAVA language and SQL server as the system developing language and database, and the best consideration of the system development can be considered as on the platform of eclipse.

System Functional Structure: The accident management information system, being used underground mining at the time of production should be developed in a way that it could be geared to the needs of mine production and management of integrated information systems. This system mainly designed for the management of information that works as safety measures in case of any accidental issues. The system being designed as per the latest technology and can make evaluation the security status of every unit being working under mine, for that certain safety assessment model have to use. Finally, it will represent the information after statistics and analysis.

3.     Conclusions:

So, based on the overall analysis of the above discussion for the development of the system design, we can conclude that the system design process must be established based on the conditions and environment where the use of the system being done. The important thing in development of the system design process is considerations of the required minimum factors influencing the working of the system makes it effective and in case of any abnormal circumstances the changes can be made in process design and make it according to situation requirements.

4.     Recommendations:

Generally plant capacities are calculated by determining the matching of plant capacity with average production of coal mine. Than based on wash ability of coal flow sheet are developed. Calculations are made with the help of availability of planned hours of operation. Some other points also take into account for assurance of operation of plant at necessary capacity.

Here top five points are taking into consideration

1) Always keep an eyes open for size and yield variability its capacity and quality. There should always try to balance the design which accommodates the yield variation and size. 
Hence there may be a mining condition can change.

2) Provide the sufficient water flow, which is necessary to drive engine. Engine of mine can drive their capacity by water.

3) Cutting of corners on Hp for conveying and pumping lead to cost 150% more to add 20% later. Hence it is advisable to don’t cut corner of Hp.

4)   It is advisable to over design the product as bottleneck in one circuit will cause limit the capacity in all circuits. Therefore it is better to design 10% over than 5% under.

5)  Always be sure for access of equipment for maintenance purpose and replacement of equipment wherever necessary. As Inaccessible of equipment will not be maintained in proper way, and those equipment which lacking in maintenance usually operates inefficiently.

Generally this five recommendation keep in mind to meet the expectation from the mine as there not any substitutes for the maintenance necessary for the mine.
