The project was directed towards bord and pillar working by mechanised miners operating in larger section roadways, where the problem of scrubber capture tends to be greatest owing to the limited size of the zone of influence around exhaust ventilation inlets. The study also concentrated on the use of jet fans for auxiliary ventilation, these representing the most common system in use in South African coal mining at the time of the study.
