  • Coal - Balance Between Supplies to Eskom and Exports
    Coal - balance between supplies to Eskom and exports Written by M Dworzanowski Friday, 01 November 2013 00:00 The South African coal mining industry is very often portrayed as a poor cousin to the gold and platinum sectors. And more often than not, when coal is under the spotlight, the emphasis is on supplies to Eskom. The true contribution of coal to the South African economy and the significant size of the industry are rarely appreciated. The majority of coal mines are still based in Mpumalanga, in the vicinities of Witbank, Middelburg, Belfast, Secunda, and Ermelo. These mines supply numerous Eskom power stations, as well as Sasol’s facilities in Secunda, and they also produce a significant amount of export thermal coal. Coal mining in KwaZulu-Natal is on the decline and no longer significant. There is one coal mine in the Free State – New Vaal, which supplies the Lethabo power station. Limpopo has the very large Grootegeluk coal mine, supplying the Matimba power station and which in due course will supply the new Medupi power station. In the near future the centre of gravity of the South African coal industry will shift from Mpumalanga to Limpopo as coal reserves become depleted in Mpumalanga. However, this shift will not be a simple case of more of the same in just a different location. The Limpopo coalfields are very different to those in Mpumalanga in terms of mining and coal washing. While Grootegeluk is leading the way, new mining projects in Limpopo will require different approaches, and future developments will need innovation and extended project execution.

  • Load Management of Water Projects Using an Integrated Systems Approach by Chris Scheepers, Dr
    APPLICATION Load management of water projects using an integrated systems approach by Chris Scheepers, Dr. Gerhard Bolt and Marius Kleingeld, North-West University The Department of Water Affairs (DWA), is responsible for the sustainable supply of useable water in South Africa. This water is not only used for residential and agricultural purposes but also to provide water for industrial processes, the mining industries and cooling water for power stations. South Africa is divided into 19 water catchment areas. This case study focuses on the Usutu-Vaal government water scheme (GWS). In Mpumalanga close to Standerton, which supplies water to Sasol and four power stations – Tutuka, Matla, Kriel and Duvha. Water is also transferred from Matla to Kendal power station. Usutu-Vaal consists of six pump stations. For the purpose of this article only Grootdraai (GD), Grootfontein (GF) and Rietfontein (RF) pump stations are considered. Water is pumped from the Grootdraai dam, both to Tutuka power station and through a 40 km canal to GF which is a booster pump station. GF in turn pumps water to both Sasol and, via Trichardt dam, to Rietfontein dam. New infrastructures were implemented to control the pumps and a new control philosophy was developed for the pump operational scheduling and for the management of the two pump stations in series. Due to the long distance of the canal, changes to the water flow at GD will take from 11 to 16 h before being detectable at GF. The new philosophy involves operating two pumps at both of these pump stations. The main objective of the demand side Fig.

  • Enviroserv Chloorkop Landfill Site Expansion Project Wetland, Soil and Land Capability Specialist Study Report
    ENVIROSERV CHLOORKOP LANDFILL SITE EXPANSION PROJECT WETLAND, SOIL AND LAND CAPABILITY SPECIALIST STUDY REPORT Report No.: JW100/19/6007-25 May 2019 Internet presence: www.jaws.co.za Synopsis EnviroServ Waste Management (Pty) Ltd own the existing Chloorkop Landfill Site (CLS) and operate it in terms of a waste management licence (Ref: 16/2/7/A230/D17/Z1). Municipal solid waste is received from the Midrand area, including the City of Johannesburg and the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality. The CLS is located in the Chloorkop Industrial area on Portion 63 of Klipfontein 12-IR and is accessed from Marsala Road. The waste body at the CLS has finite airspace, defined by the permitted footprint, height and design parameters and will not be able to receive waste once it reaches airspace capacity. EnviroServ is proposing to expand the CLS in order to provide additional airspace for ongoing disposal of municipal solid waste. The proposal is to expand the Chloorkop Landfill Site onto adjacent properties (Erf 334 and 335 of Chloorkop Extension 6), CLS Expansion Project. The concept is to establish engineered, Class B waste disposal cells on the target properties for ongoing disposal of municipal solid waste. The additional waste disposal cells would join with the current CLS waste body. The facility will include a small Material Recovery Facility for the separation of clean recyclables from the waste. Supporting infrastructure would be integrated with the CLS and/or redeveloped as appropriate. A municipal road, Anker Street, separates part of the expansion area from the CLS and thus a phased approach is likely.
