The demonstration project takes the form of presentations that explain the current state of the art in the extraction, transportation and use of coal. As part of individual presentations, the transfer of the latest knowledge into operational practice is shown (transshipment points, DPD, landfills, forklifts, etc.), which aim to reduce dust emissions into the environment and generally protect the environment. Another part of the lectures includes a short theoretical analysis of the spread of dust and a detailed description of the individual variants to prevent the spread of dust into the environment (wet and dry methods), which have been used from the past to the present, as well as an assessment of the individual advantages and disadvantages of these measures.

On this topic the technical department of VÚHU “Technological Processes and Diagnostics” will then organize an excursion to an active mining in the region, in which the operator will demonstrate the use of dust-reducing measures. Guided tours to the handling stations and visits to rotating moisture distributors of the companies Vršanská uhelná and Severočeské doly – Bílina opencast mine – are organized. These excursions are also part of the weekly internships in the technical departments of VÚHU.
