Alumina Refinery Upgrade Concept Study

Alumina Refinery Upgrade Concept Study

The client engaged Carnac to undertake a preliminary engineering assessment of required upgrades to achieve an increase in refinery throughput, which included both production generating upgrades, such as those that would increase alumina precipitation yield and liquor flows, and production enabling upgrades.

Steam System Review for Alumina Refinery

Steam System Review for Alumina Refinery

The Alumina Refinery was set to decommission their Cogeneration facility, which would reduce the supply capacity for low pressure and medium pressure steam for use in various facilities across the refinery. Carnac developed a hydraulic model for each of the low pressure and medium pressure steam systems using Piping Systems Fluid Flow and the hydraulic review of the system identified which nodes did not meet the required supply criteria.
