A staged treatment approach for self-heating coal and active burning areas
Spontaneous combustion in coal can threaten site safety, damage coal value, and create major operational risk. FlowCentric Heatshield™ is designed to help mining operations control self-heating coal, extinguish existing burning, and provide longer-term protection against spontaneous combustion.
FlowCentric Heatshield™ is used by mining operations that need a practical treatment approach for coal stockpiles, discard areas, and other zones where self-heating or combustion risk must be brought under control. It helps address current combustion risk while supporting a longer-term prevention strategy.
Where active burning is already present, the treatment approach helps mining teams respond in a more controlled way under difficult site conditions.
FlowCentric Heatshield™ is applied to help control coal oxidation, reduce the risk of ignition, and support the prevention of spontaneous combustion.
FlowCentric Heatshield™ forms a flexible sealing layer over the treated area to support longer-term control.
The treatment helps limit the conditions that allow combustion to continue or restart.
FlowCentric Heatshield™ is designed not to negatively affect the coal during treatment.
FlowCentric Heatshield™ is practical to mix, transport, store, and apply in demanding mining environments.
Our approach is selected according to the condition of the coal and the stage of oxidation or combustion on site.
Spontaneous combustion is difficult to manage because the problem often begins below the surface, develops gradually, and may only become visible once the risk is already severe. Fires can occur in buried or hard-to-reach parts of a stockpile, which makes early intervention difficult. FlowCentric Heatshield™ is suited to operations that need a practical treatment response for these conditions.
FlowCentric Heatshield™ is suitable for mining personnel who need to:
