| Summary: | This study aims to analyze energy savings from the implementation of the
Ventilation on Demand (VoD) system in the underground mine of Big Gossan, PT
Freeport Indonesia. The existing ventilation system operates continuously, leading
to energy waste and hazardous air recirculation. By employing simulation methods
and direct data collection, this research evaluates the optimal air supply
requirements and compares them with actual supply, revealing a significant
difference of 66%. The analysis results indicate that the implementation of VoD
can save energy on the auxiliary fan amounting to $195,365.22 in August 2024.
This research is expected to contribute to enhancing the efficiency of mine
ventilation systems and improving workplace safety in underground mining
environments. |
