Mine gas

Creating a safe work environment and reducing the carbon footprint

When methane gas is drained and captured, it can be utilised for power or destroyed in a high-temperature flaring facility.

Partnership

Environmentally responsible treatment of coal mine gas

Hofstetter works in close partnership with WaterGasRenew Pty Ltd in Australia. WaterGasRenew contributes extensive knowledge and practical experience in coal mining operations, mine gas drainage and gas extraction systems.

By combining this specialist mining expertise with Hofstetter’s proven gas treatment and combustion technology, we deliver safe, reliable and fully engineered solutions that meet the most stringent mining regulations and project requirements. The complete engineering package can include FMEA, HAZOP and cause-and-effect analyses.
