Enhancing Safety and Efficiency in the Mining Industry
User Case Study - Samarco, Brazil
The NOJA Power OSM® Recloser System is highly sophisticated and powerful yet offers a user-friendly solution to operators in over 106 countries all over the globe.
Samarco, one of the largest mining companies in Brazil, first partnered with NOJA Power in 2021. Their objective was simple: to provide agility, security, and isolation of networks in case of failures, which would in turn bring reliability to the system and reduce travel time of maintenance teams in search of faults.
In this case study, NOJA Power Brazil’s Gustavo Beviláqua and Thiago Lopes, Samarco’s Maintenance Coordinator discuss how the installation of over 50 OSM® Recloser’s within Samarco’s power grid successfully improved their mining processes and has allowed the organisation to ensure the safety of their onsite team.
“We have been very proud to partner with Samarco which is a joint venture between Vale Brazil and BHP Australia to help them improve their network reliability for their mining operations in Mina Gerias,” says NOJA Power Group Managing Director Neil O'Sullivan.Download Case Study
