Titanium Dioxide
Titanium Dioxide or TiO2 is refined from Synthetic Rutile to form a distinctive white pigment, used in the paint and cosmetic industries. Carnac has provided engineering support for process and equipment improvements for TiO2 refineries in the southwest Western Australia region.
Carnac assessed the suitability of several pumps in a Titanium Dioxide refinery.
Carnac – Project Delivery Services Pty (Carnac) are currently completing a detailed design and engineering study for the direct replacement of a hydrocyclone network and its containing structure.
Our client engaged Carnac – Project Delivery Services Pty (Carnac) to provide concept-level engineering design and cost estimation for upgrades to the sampling station at their processing plant.
Carnac – Project Delivery Services Pty (Carnac) were engaged to perform a visual inspection of a processing plant stack as per site inspection and testing requirements.
Carnac provided engineering support to our client to identify corrosion and structural defects for the client’s exhaust stack.
Carnac assessed the client’s structural modifications using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to ensure a robust solution was achieved without introducing new issues.
Carnac – Project Delivery Services Pty Ltd (Carnac) was engaged to perform a hydraulic analysis of the client’s slurry pump suction arrangement and assess it’s effectiveness.
Carnac successfully completed an assessment and identified the root cause of leaks on a newly installed main stack of a TiO2 facility using drone photography and videography.
Carnac provided services for the modification of stack inlet ductwork up to the air inlet on stack with the intent of increasing liquid water recovery. CFD modelling was used to assess the initial operating conditions and to justify the options recommended.
Carnac was engaged to provide engineering and design services to design and replace the emergency and filtered water lines.
Carnac provided design, supply and construction services to our clients for the installation of groundwater bores for their groundwater remediation project.
Carnac assisted our client by identifying and analysing gaps in the previously acquired design information. Carnac also performed a review of the original design and recommended further work required to complete the project.
Carnac reviewed the High Voltage (HV) distribution design brief, identified any issues and offered recommendations.
Carnac-Project Delivery Services (Carnac) managed, designed and constructed a new gas bottle storage facility and mofified the existing facility. Carnac produced the facility from concept to handover.
Carnac was commissioned to oversee the installation of a new Brine Chiller at their facility, which was to be installed in a purpose-built machinery room and tied to the existing brine and cooling water reticulation system.
The plant's future expansion required two more spiral heaters to be installed, increasing the need for an upgrade or redesign of the equipment used to replace the heat exchangers. Previous maintenance activities to carry this out caused significant plant downtime and had associated safety risks.
Carnac provided a review of potential use of a screw conveyor for the salt and aluminium application within the client's hazardous facility, review of other material lifting equipment, and review of other process equipment identified in the FEL3 studies performed by a previous contractor.
Carnac was engaged to assess the suitability of proposed equipment for the addition of a feed tank to the second stage filters and recommended some changes to the client.
The client was looking to operate at higher slurry transfer rates while reducing manning levels, which meant that debottlenecking and automation was required.
