ECS Mining Products
One of the most severe environments for emissions control
Harmful emissions can quickly build up in difficult-to-ventilate underground mines. Our ability to control these emissions established our reputation for product and systems excellence and reliability. Today we supply the majority of worldwide original diesel equipment manufacturers for mining applications including: Atlas Copco, EIMCO, GHH, MacLean Engineering, Normet, Schopf and Volvo Construction Equipment, Oldenberg Cannon, Oldenberg Group, Dux Machinery, Mining Technologies Group, GHH, Marcotte Mining, Sandvik Tamrock/EJC Loaders, Getman, A. L. Lee, Wallace Diesel and DAPCO Inc..

Mining vehicles normally operate underground or in poorly ventilated areas, running 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The diesel exhaust being emitted from these vehicles is inhaled by the operators before dissipating. This is normally due to decreased air flow and poor circulation. Increased exposure to diesel exhaust: besides being a factor in heart and lung disease and a possible carcinogen, also directly affects worker health and safety. There is a direct correlation between increased exposure to diesel emissions, increased sick days, and decreased productivity. The harmful components of diesel exhaust; particulate matter (PM), carbon monoxide (CO), and hydrocarbons (HC), can be easily reduced with current and readily available technologies for immediate emissions reductions and immediate health benefits. Engine Control Systems Limited (ECS) offers three retrofit solutions designed with mining in mind; a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC), and both a passive and active diesel particulate filter (DPF). The DOC, known commercially as the Severe Duty AZ Purifier and the Purimuffler are a proven choice for reductions of PM, CO and HC. The passive DPF known commercially as Cat trap, is offered for its extraordinary reductions of PM while not increasing NO2. The active DPF known commercially as Combifilter is offered for its ability to reduce emissions with no concern about duty cycles or exhaust temperatures. ECS retrofit technology solutions offer superior performance at maximum cost effectiveness per retrofit dollar. The products offered by Engine Control Systems go through a strict testing and validation regime. ECS holds more product certifications and verifications than our competitors and we can prove it. Letter of evaluation from agencies, testing results, and papers are readily available to our customers. Because particulate exposure increases exponentially with proximity to the source, reducing emissions with retrofit technologies in the vicinity of children provides critical public health benefits and minimizes children's' exposure to these harmful emissions. Engine Control Systems have global manufacturing facilities in Canada, USA, and Sweden. At ECS we offer many diverse ways to improve productivity, equipment life and worker health through our performance systems. ECS is the difference between a one-size-fits-all solution and a comfortable custom-fit.
