Fedor Abramov

Fedir Abramov (March 21, 1904 in Lysychansk – December 5, 1982 in Dnipropetrovsk) was a Ukrainian geologist and mining specialist. He was a member of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR. His works dealt with problems of ventilation and aerogas dynamics of mines, and the prevention of sudden emissions of coal, rock and gas.

Biography In 1930, he graduated from the Dnepropetrovsk Mining Institute, where he would later return as a teacher. He participated in the Second World War.

From 1940 to 1969, with a break from 1941 to 1944, Abramov headed the Department of Aerology and Occupational Safety of the National Mining University.

In 1952, he defended his doctoral dissertation, which was devoted to the study of aerodynamics of vertical shafts of mines with new types of reinforcement.

In 1962, he began working at the Institute of Geotechnical Mechanics of the USSR Academy of Sciences. - for the development and implementation of methods for overcoming the gas barrier, which provides a heavily polluted mines lava load of more than 1,000 tons per day.

His inventions "Method of measuring methane flow rates from degassing wells" were registered in co-authorship with Frundin, "Intrinsically safe methanometer with a unified output".
