Solution Provided | Identified and developed an opportunity to significantly increase reagent recovery and alumina yield to a feasibility study level.
Disciplines | Process, Mechanical, Electrical, Instrumentation, Civil and Structural Engineering
Carnac identified several high-value opportunities for an alumina refinery that would help the client gain a competitive advantage in the alumina market. One opportunity identified involved recovering reagent from a spent liquor stream. The opportunity was developed by Carnac from a concept to feasibility study level and provides the following benefits:
Increased reagent recovery leading to a higher plant alumina throughput and yield;
Reduced reagent consumption; and
Utilisation of existing plant infrastructure and equipment.
Carnac provided the following:
Class 2 execution estimate (±10% to ±15%);
Level 4 execution schedule;
Modelling, drawings, descriptions, and calculations for the Process, Mechanical, Electrical and Structural Engineering disciplines; and
Equipment vendor liaison.
