The company “ITRAS” is the manufacturer and supplier of the unified telecommunication systems of dispatcher monitoring and automated control of environmental condition, machines and technological complexes (UTAS system).

UTAS systems are intended to improve the level of labor safety in different branches of industry: coal industry (black, brown coal; anthracitic coal); gypsum extraction; iron ore extraction; non-ferrous metal ores, base metal ores, polymetallic ores extraction (aluminum, beryllium, copper, manganous, mercurial, antimonial, cobaltic, nickel ores; noble metals (gold, silver, platinum); nonmetallic extraction (phosphate, salt, soda, quarts, bauxite, spar); clay, kaolin, lime, limestone production; slate, shale extraction; peat-cutting; stone quarrying (granite, marble, dolomite, quartzite), sand production, crushed stone extraction, gravel; cement and concrete industry; coal power plants; ports; metallurgy; tunnel building; agriculture, cattle breeding, agroindustrial complex; fertilizer production; building materials production; instrument- making (industry); motor - car construction; perfumery; pharmaceutics; gem mining (diamond, sapphire, ruby glass, alexandrite, topaz); chemical industry; food industry; airports; aircrafts; shipbuilding; automated and automatic lines for manufacturing of different products of machine-building industry.

The structure of UTAS system is the following:

• Surface equipment;
• Underground equipment (if necessary).

The equipment includes:

• Devices which provide intrinsically safe communication of a surface computer system with underground equipment;
• A computer system which receives information from devices and handles the received information for taking effective decisions.
• Telecommunication and control devices;
• Sensors which monitor the environment of the installation:

  - Methane Sensor CH4;

  - Carbon Monoxide Sensor СО;

  - Carbon Dioxide Sensors СО2;

  - Oxygen Sensor О2;

  - Hydrogen Sensor Н2;

  - Hydrogen Sulfide Sensor Н2S;

  - Higher Hydrocarbons Sensors

  - Air Flow Sensor;

  - Liquid and Gas Pressure Sensors;

  - Environmental Temperature Sensor.

• Sensors measuring temperature of drum and gearbox bearings, electric motor housings and windings, brake cheeks, oil of gearboxes;
• Sensors monitoring position of ventilation doors and folding doors of ventilation system, guard rails of drive and tensioning units of conveyors;
• Vibration Sensors;
• Current Sensors – monitoring of electric motor load;
• Audio-Visual Alarms;
• Power Supplies and other Sensors and Devices.

UTAS systems manufactured by the company “ITRAS” are intended for application on installations which are the most accidental parts (fires, explosions, gas bumps etc.).

UTAS systems provide monitoring of full range of environmental parameters on all parts of the installation, control of industrial equipment taking into account parameter values and transferring of all this information to a dispatcher and administration for taking effective decisions.

UTAS systems allow defining and forecasting the possibility of initiation of pre-accidental and accidental situations in their initial stage. That’s why UTAS systems provide uninterruptible monitoring of industrial equipment and environmental parameters. Therefore, UTAS systems handle with safety level in complex and in full for al the technological cycle of the installation.

The safety level provided by UTAS systems belongs to the local technological processes and to all processes for providing vital activity and operations safety on the installation.

UTAS system includes subsystems focused on control and monitoring on all technological parts of the installation:

• Environmental monitoring subsystem;
• Transport technological chain control subsystem (conveyors, bunkers, feeders etc.);
• Local ventilation fan control subsystem;
• Subsystem which monitors parameters of production and tunneling complexes;
• Degassing monitoring subsystem;
• High voltage distributors control subsystem;
• Main drainage control subsystem;
• Main ventilation fan control subsystem;
• Operation of surface facilities monitoring subsystem;
• Transport loading complex control subsystem.

Besides, UTAS system is an open system, i.e. if it is necessary to widen the functions or add new devises you can do it without any technical complexity.

Equipment included into UTAS system can be of explosion safe and intrinsically safe versions, have convenient design, small size and weight.

Implementation of UTAS systems is the way to safe and highly productive labor.
