Rock Excavation using Plasma Technology

It is our pleasure to introduce Patented Pulse Plasma Technology from KAPRA, S. Korea.
We here by providing details on product, process, advantages & benefits of usage of Plasma
Technology, client who had used this technology in Mumbai.

PRODUCT:

1. Plasma cells having size of 34 mm diameter & 0.8 meter long made of Aluminium &
Cupper Oxicide powder (solid stage of material) prewired to connect to EPI, which
are consumables.
2. Plasma Generator (EPI Electo Power Impactor) for providing Surge Power.

PROCESS:

1. Drill angular hole of 51 mm diameter to a depth of 2.8 to 3 meter at spacing of 0.8

to 1.2 meter depending upon the rock hardness. The angle of penetration also
varies depending upon the rock structure & requirement of depth from 10 degree
to 30 degree.
2. Insert the plasma cell (0.8 meter long) to the bottom of the hole.
3. Plug the hole with plastic seal & sand bags.
4. Connect the Plasma cells to EPI which provides impulse of 134 MW for one
millisecond.
5. Cover the site with rubber mats for extra safety.
6. Charge the EPI by 30 KVA; 380 V; 3 Phase; AC supply or equivalent power source.
7. Discharge the power from EPI to plasma Cells through operator Switch.
8. Reaction take place between two powder under plasma stage due to very high
current / voltage impulse which generate extremely high temperature.
9. High temperature & impulse wave fragment the rock. Hence it is a called as
Thermal Process.
10. After the reaction both the powder still remain in powder form which is of
aluminium oxide & cupper.
11. Remove the fragmented rock using breaker / bucket attachment to the excavator.

RESULT:

1. Each cell generally covers almost 2 to 3 cum of rock fragmentation in open area
depending upon the type of rock & how it is structured in the ground, free face etc.
2. Simultaneously 6 to 7 cells are fractured, thus one can able to fragment 15 to 25
cum of rock in open area at a time, which generally takes 5 minutes cycle time.
3. One can able to fragment almost 250 + holes per day with one EPI, if that many
holes per day are made available & enough place for all the sequential operation.
4. Thus one can able to fragment almost 500 to 750 cum per day.
5. We can increase the volume of excavation per day by using multiple plasma
generator (EPI) & corresponding numbers of holes.
6. One can achieve deeper excavation layer after layer.
ADVANTAGES & BENEFITS:

1. One can achieve high volume of excavations like Dynamites without any
permission & license for usage, storage & transportation.
2. Ministry of Petroleum & Explosive, Belapur, new Mumbai is already certified
the process as a non-explosive.
3. Unlike Dynamite, No Resonance created because of different vibration
frequency than the building, allows to work close to existing structure.
4. Very low Vibration; Low Sound.
5. No gas pressure on rock like dynamite as rock fragmented with Thermal
process.
6. No Flying of rock & No dust.
7. Speedy Excavation allows to start construction process much ahead of
schedule time resulted in to:
a. Lower direct management cost for lesser period of operations.
b. Lower interest burden on the capital investment for the project.
c. Early realization of the cash flow from the project due to faster
progress, increases financial cycle.

CLIENT LIST:
