Who we are?

Canadian owned Company ON2 Solutions’ Mine Refuge System was created and operational in Mines since 1994 ON2 currently has over 250 TommyKnockers and over 400 Refuge One Air Centres

• perational in mines worldwide.

The Canadian Mine Safety Industry requested a breathable air system for underground Mine Refuge Stations based on the following criteria:

• The Breathable Air System had to maintain Oxygen &

Carbon Dioxide levels near normal atmospheric conditions within the Refuge Station with a maximum

• f 20 occupants for 24 hours.
• It has to be able to operate during an emergency

without requiring any external compressed air or electricity.

Mine Safety Industry gave the following development criteria:

• It was to be simple and easy to operate under stressful

emergency conditions.

• It was to be durable and rugged enough to withstand

harsh underground mine conditions.

• It was to be affordable so as to allow the

implementation of the technology to fit into a Mine’s safety program and budget.

How the Refuge One Air Centre Works

Carbon Dioxide levels elevate and oxygen levels deplete due to human occupancy The Refuge One Air Centre removes the carbon dioxide from the room and oxygen is added at a metered rate.

The Refuge One will

• perate under it’s own

electrical power for the specified period of time (typically 48, 72, or 96 hours).

Longer times and greater person capacities may be accommodated.

You must know the Refuge Station’s design criteria when providing the Refuge One Breathable Air Centres These include:

• 1. The physical size of the Refuge Station?
• 2. What is the maximum person capacity of the

Refuge Station?

• 3. What is the required operational time of the

Refuge Station?
