GEOPHYSICAL TECHNIQUES USED BY THE CTM

Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)



o Archaeologyo Constructiono Miningo Detection of buried utility serviceso Criminology

Highly versatile when confronting a study due to its easy handling and speed indata collection.

Presence of fine material absorbs the signal and not allowed to penetrate intothe ground, which causes poor results.

Geophysical techniques described above and data collection with traditionalmethods of geology allows us to obtain the closest-to-reality geological-geophysical model and make 3D representations of deposits. It is crucialbecause it can help us to take decisions needed in the day-to-day operation ofa quarry.

TECHNIQUES FOR CHARACTERIZATION, AND AUSCULTATION DIAGNOSIS OFTHE CONSERVATION OF ARCHITECTURAL HERITAGE

There are situations in which the experimental evaluation of thecondition or damage in structural elements of the heritage cancause damage. We apply different methods of non-destructiveevaluation to carry out this type of study without damagearchitectural heritage.

Ultrasonic methods are similar to seismicmethods, where the dominant frequencyis the main difference. They are commonlyused in structures, sample cores for thecalculation of the elastic modulus andauscultation of cultural heritage items.

Industry Overview:

The non-metallic mineral industry is a large consumer of energy.

14,000 companies across Europe, 21 national associations, 3 billiontonnes of materials demanded yearly, and around 24,000 operatingsites involving more than 250,000 employees --> Project outcomewill have great potential for replicability as well as significantcontribution to improve the sector’s sustainability performance andits future challenges.

Potential Impact:

The high production of CO2 emissions in the stone mining and crushingindustry, has been one of the focal issues of environmentalcontamination considered by many countries:

➢ Highly energy intensive.

➢ Produces over the 40% of the total material consumed by weightin some countries (mainly highway aggregates).

The ultimate goal is to reduce energy consumption and thecontaminating numbers in all major production processes → Optimizeextracting industry in every single process, improving the globalperformance.

Electricity consumption (kWh/tn) and diesel consumption are thebiggest controlling points.

Financed by:

Objectives:

The EU aims to become a low-carbon, energy efficient economy inthe upcoming years. The Integrated Energy and Climate ChangePolicy, laid out in December 2008, aims to cut greenhouse gasesby 20%, reduce energy consumption by 20% and to supply 20% ofEus needs from renewable sources by 2020.

In this context, the EE-QUARRY emerges with the commitment tooptimize the Energy Efficiency and reduce the GHG emissions inthe non-metallic mineral industry.

The overall objective of the Project is to develop a new andhighly effective modeling and monitoring Energy ManagementSystem Technique affecting every stage on the productionprocess.

An Holistic Progressive Model will be developed in order tointegrate the low energy consumption tools performed for eachstage: deposit assessment; drilling and blasting; loading andhauling; crushing and screening.

Financed by:

Lines of research:

Use of electromagnetic and magnetic sensors in order to analyze and predict the optimum development plan for extracting the deposit (direct targeted drilling).

Energy efficient blasting mechanism: The parameters to control in order to optimizethe blasting will be explosive material, required amount of application, explosivevelocity, drilling depth an diameter.

Aggregate size as an important parameter for energy efficiency: The objective is to determinate the best and more efficient granulometry to deliver into crushing stages.

Constant progressive optimization model for transport mechanisms: Simulation of the hauling system in order to achieve energy efficiency. Processes duration, energyrequired and amount of material moved will be quantified.

Artificial Vision System: implemented in the crushing stage, in order to avoidequipment’s failures due to rock size and to minimize energy requirements.

Adjustable variables for crushing: Working time, dead time, efficiency, motor

processing mechanisms will be quantified to create a constant progressiveoptimization simulator.

Develop of a constant progressive and self-correcting model: The final objective isto integrate all of the described low energy consumption tools, into a simulator(expert holistic decision model).
