Laboratory – Mining Environment – FTTM

Laboratory Description

Short Description
The Mining Environment Laboratory is one of the laboratories under the Faculty of Mining and Petroleum Engineering which supports educational and research activities in Mining Engineering Research Group, Mining Engineering Study Program, Bandung Institute of Technology. This laboratory consists of:

1. Mining Environment Laboratory (Location: LABTEK IVA – West Mine Floor 1))
The Mining Environmental Laboratory is a laboratory for practicum supporting education and research related to the identification of potential environmental pollution and methods for preventing and handling it.
With the development of the CoRE (Center of Research Excellence) program as a research center by FTTM-ITB, there are additional facilities in the form of a Laboratory room in the CoRE Building Floor 8 (Center of Research Excellence – Mine Closure and Mine Environment). There is use of shared facilities between the Mining Environment Laboratory and CoRE Mine Closure and Mine Environment. It is hoped that in the future, CoRE Mine Closure and Mine Environment can become a national-level mining environment research center that can not only be used by the ITB academic community, but also by researchers from all over Indonesia.

2. Mine Ventilation Laboratory (Location: LABTEK IVA – East Mine Floor 1)
The Mining Environment Laboratory is a laboratory for practicum supporting education and research related to the identification of potential environmental pollution in underground mines along with methods for preventing and handling them.
There is the use of shared facilities between the Mine Ventilation Laboratory and the Center of Research Excellence (CoRE) in Underground Mining and Mining Safety (UMMS). The Center of Research Excellence (CoRE) in Underground Mining and Mining Safety (UMMS) is one form of ITB’s contribution in responding to the nation’s problems in the mining sector. The UMMS CoRE is focused on research on Underground Mining and Mining Safety. The UMMS CoRE is expected to become a research center that has good equipment and access to cooperation with the government and the mining industry, so that research can be carried out by researchers throughout Indonesia which in the end the principles of good mining in Indonesia specifically and in the world in general can be applied.
