Reducing Dust Emissions in Iron Ore Transfer Chutes with Advanced Simulation
View project
Project Scope
EMtek and Mondium were engaged by Rio Tinto in joint venture to an EPC style contract to complete all works for the Western Turner 2 project, including the crushing plant, OLC, 33KV power distribution system, NPI Facilities, associated water controls and communication systems. The WTS Phase 2 Stage 2 project was then required to expand production of WTS2 from the 8.8Mtpa road train operation to a capacity suitable to sustain the Tom Price process plant at a rate of 30Mtpa crusher feed. EMtek and Mondium collaboratively completed the detailed engineering and design with no disruption to the critical path of the project schedule.
