Design of a Ventilation System for the Uchucchacua-Buenaventura Oyón-Lima Mine

One of the very important activities in underground mining is ventilation, because air has to be supplied in most of the cases that is fresh and clean for the tasks in which they are in operation, taking into account the conditions that the product already has of the previous activities, such as: implementation of alternative methods such as the use of fans, extractors or work for ventilation purposes in order to achieve an adequate, healthy and comfortable environment for all employees who are in the mine; is that constant improvements are made to the “ventilation system.” That is why this article aims to simulate a new ventilation system that enhances the current ventilation system of the “Uchucchacua” mine of the Buenaventura company located in the province of Oyon-Lima, taking into account, that sufficient air flow must be guaranteed for persons and equipment authorized to work on a watch.
