On-Belt Bauxite Analyser Project

Solution Provided | Implemented an in-field trial unit Fourier Transform Infra-Red Spectrometer (FTIR) for fast and accurate analysis of the mineral/chemical composition of bauxite

Discipline | Electrical Engineering, Design, Safety & Risk

Carnac - Project Delivery Services (Carnac) provided engineering services to support the design and delivery of an FTIR bauxite feed analyser based on the Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) previously carried out by Carnac. The extent of Carnac’s engineering effort included:

  • Mounting equipment;

  • Operator access equipment;

  • Controls (including design for remote control via control system logic); and

  • Electrical/utility requirements.

Carnac’s design allowed for future operational and maintenance risk assessment of the installation at a detailed level. Carnac delivered:

  • Detailed design;

  • Procurement;

  • Construction; and

  • Commissioning.
