OSTI ID:7218218
This report documents the work performed by Battelle-Northwest and its subcontractors in phase I of a project to develop a cross pit conveyor system for the Bureau of Mines. It includes the appendixes. The conveyor system description includes details of the conceptual design as well as system and component specifications. The selection of primary and backup sites for system demonstration is discussed. Maneuvers and operating sequences required for mining the selected demonstration site are described and illustrated in detail. Economic viability of the cross pit conveyor system was analyzed by estimating the cost of overburden removal per ton of coal using the Battelle-designed concept and comparing these costs to the cost of an available state-of-the-art 30-cubic yards dragline operation. Testing and trade-off studies conducted are documented and the results presented.
