Mud Pumping Plan for Coal Pit

Project 4 involves pumping water and sediment out of a coal pit to prepare for mining. Using a mathematical model and given pump capacities, the summary calculates that: 1) Two water pumps with a combined capacity of 400 m3/day can dry the pit of water by December 29, 2014. 2) One mud pump with a capacity of 12960 m3/day can mix and remove sediment, drying the pit of mud by December 20, 2014. 3) The pumping scheme allows the pit to be fully dried within the 5 month target, making it ready for mining to begin in early 2015.

Project 4 Mud Pumping

Data:
Water and sediment have to be pumped out of a coal open pit because the pit
was planed to be mined thereafter. According to monitoring and bathimetric
survey conducted on August 2014, estimated initial volume of sediment and
water were about 683 000 m3 and 1 378 000 m3 respectively. Associated
catchment area of the pit is about 97 ha. The pit was also set to be a
temporary buffer, into which surface water from surrounding was let to flow
into the pit with average flowrate 200 L/sec within 8 hours/day. Rainfall data
was given in the Table 1. Evapotranspiration rate was estimated to be
proportional to the rainfall with factor 0.35. Water inflow into the pit due to the
rainfall and its run-off, develope new sediment deposition with estimated rate
5800 m3/month. Two water and one mud pumps are available with respective
capacity 200 L/sec and 150 L/sec. mud pumping was supported by a mixer
that was used to blend water and sediment to obtain maximum allowable unit
weight of mud 1.4 ton/m3. According to laboratory testing, the average unit
weight of sediment is 1.7 ton/ m3.

Give:
Pumping scheme to get the pit dried in 5 months starting from August 2014 !

Asumsi :
1. Pompa air yang digunakan untuk bekerja adalah 2 pompa dengan
Kerja pompa yang digunakan per hari = 9 jam/hari.
2. Kerja pompa lumpur yang digunakan perhari = 13 jam/hari
3. Waktu kerja pompa adalah setiap hari, dimana tidak ada waktu
libur.
4. Performance pompa dianggap stabil hingga air dan lumpur
dihisap sampai pit kering.
5. Model matematis yang digunakan untuk menghitung volume air
dan volume lumpur adalah menggunakan model ODE.

Penyelesaian :
Model ODE untuk memperoleh volume air :
(1)

ET = evaportranspirasi (m/hari)
QET = laju alir evapotranspirasi (m3/hari)
QPw = kapasitas pompa air (m3/hari)
Qs = laju alir pengendapan (m3/hari)
QPm = kapasitas pompa lumpur (m3/hari)
