1 Electronic vs Pyrotechnic Detonators Presented by Philipa Lamb RedBull Powder Company Ltd
2 Overview Background Electronic Delay Detonator Capacitor Fuse Head Primary Charge Methodology Lead Wire Earth Spike Microchip Base Charge Case Studies Pyrotechnic Detonator Conclusions Shock Tube Crimp Sealer Crimp Primary Charge Bushing Isolation Cup Delay Train Base Charge
3 Background Historic Review of Scatter Safety Fuse 1 meter 1000 Log Scatter (ms) Electric Detonators Pyrotechnic Detonators First Generation Electronic Delay Detonators
4 Methodology First Example Probability and Consequence 100% Relative Rock Response 80% Relative Electronic Timing Probability Relative Effect 60% 40% 66% Confidence Interval for Pyrotechnic 20% 25 ms Relative Pyrotechnic Timing Probabiliy Inter Shot Interval (ms)
5 Methodology - Second Example Probability and Consequence 100% Relative Rock Response 80% Relative Electronic Timing Probability Relative Effect 60% 40% 66% Confidence Interval for Pyrotechnic 20% 35 ms Relative Pyrotechnic Timing Probabiliy Inter Shot Interval (ms)
6 Methodology Conclusion Electronic detonators improve timing accuracy: Increases fragmentation Improves production rates Increases overall efficiency Stock inventory decreases, as any delay time can be chosen
7 Case Studies using Electronic Detonators Manukau Quarry, Auckland - Basalt Quarry Controlling Vibration Reliable Way Quarry, Auckland - Basalt Quarry Controlling Vibration Martha Gold Mine, Waihi, New Zealand - Open Cast Gold Mine Controlling Vibration and Increasing Production Trapper Coal Mine, Colorado, USA - Open Cast Coal Mine Controlling High Wall Stability
8 Manukau Quarry, Auckland Basalt Quarry Aim To control vibration while blasting next to main highway and archeological site Result Vibration levels controlled through use of explosive decking and timing optimisation Production levels maintained Conclusion Significant improvement in vibration control through the use of electronic detonators
9 Reliable Way Quarry, Auckland Basalt Quarry Aim Maintain production levels while complying to vibration limits of 5mm/s (PPV) Methodology Delay optimisation for vibration control Sequential delaying of explosive decks within each blast
10 Reliable Way Quarry, Auckland Basalt Quarry Delay Sequence of Explosive Decks within a Blast 175ms 280ms 420ms 0ms 350ms 35ms 105ms 455ms 210ms 595ms 70ms 140ms 245ms 385ms
11 Reliable Way Quarry, Auckland Basalt Quarry Results Production blasting achieved to within 35m of quarry boundary Frequency channelling improved the public perception of blasting Conclusion Extended the reserves of the quarry through the use of electronic detonators Peak Partical Velocity (mm/sec) Peak Partical Velocity versus Distance to Boundary Distance from Boundary (m) Calculated PPV Limit Actual PPV
12 Martha Gold Mine, Waihi,, New Zealand Open Cast Gold Mine Aim Increase predictability of vibration Improve fragmentation Improve mining production
13 Martha Gold Mine, Waihi,, New Zealand Open Cast Gold Mine Results Charge masses per hole doubled Blast size increased from an average 70 holes to a maximum of 1300 holes There was a five fold increase in production on the North Wall Production (BCM) Weekly Mining Production Total Mine Pyrotechnics Electronics North Wall April July October December Date (2002)
14 Martha Gold Mine, Waihi,, New Zealand Open Cast Gold Mine Results Oversize percentage decreased by 50% Mine production improved 8% Excavator efficiency increased by 17% Conclusion Mine converted to electronic system Oversive Production (%) Oversize Comparison Total Mine Pyrotechnics Electronics North Wall April July October December Date (2002)
15 Trapper Coal Mine, Colorado, USA Open Cast Coal Aim To improve the stability of high walls To improve cast, fragmentation and dragline production Methodology To use the flexibility of electronic timing to reduce the vibration that affects the high walls stability
16 Trapper Coal Mine, Colorado USA Open Cast Coal Results High walls stable where previously pyrotechnic presplit had failed Improved fragmentation Conclusion Mine converted to electronic system
17 Case Study Conclusion Electronic systems have been successful at the four sites discussed Electronic Delay Detonators have: Improved production rates Improved overall efficiency Minimised vibration Improved fragmentation Improved face conditions Increased safety
18 Conclusive Benefits of Electronic over Pyrotechnic Detonators Significantly improved cost efficiencies and output Electronic detonators have extended the life of quarries and mines Greater flexibility for blast design Despite higher unit cost of electronic detonators production output and cost efficiencies more than offset this cost. True comparison of cost is not of using an electronic system, but rather not using one!
