Dynamic modeling
Developing flow dynamics for two- and three-phase flow applications for liquors, settling slurries including red mud, sand, and oxalate slurries to maximize the efficiency of operation.
Challenges
Existing refineries are facing operational cost challenges and seeking effective ways to improve efficiency, reduce operating costs, and increase production uptime. Owners of new refinery developments are looking for technically differentiated partners to deliver projects that maximize stakeholder returns and position their refinery projects in first quartile performance.Capabilities
Bayer process design, equipment, and operation
We have a strong track record in designing and building cost-effective, greenfield and brownfield Bayer refining installations. Refinery designs are specifically tailored to the processing characteristics of the bauxite and are optimized to the capital and operating cost environment within which the refinery will be constructed and operated.
Flash train design and engineering
Industry technology leader in flash train design, including digester, interconnecting underflow piping, and fittings in three-phase flow regimes; equipment selection and sizing for vessels, pumps, PRVs, materials, and control valves.
Relief system design
Designing adequate relief systems to meet statutory requirements. We develop, implement and apply the Design Institute for Emergency Relief Systems (DIERS) technology specific to the needs of each refinery, fully compliant with international standards.
