Implemented Solutions
Improvement and Redesign of Fluid Dynamic Processes
Issues:
The water injected into the Cooling Tower (CT) does not evaporate completely, reaching the Dry Electrostatic Precipitator (DEP) in liquid form, affecting the performance of the latter.
Study for Vertical Mill Maintenability
Issue:
Describe in detail –through 3D Animation- an optimal maintenance and worm gear change procedure of a vertical mill.
Engineering for Operational Continuity Based on 3D Scanner Survey
Issues:
Antucoya (AMSA) Tertiary Crushing Building has multiple cracks and displacements, mainly in structural and mechanical areas.
Transfer Point Redesign (Chute Case)
Issue:
The chute presents several issues such as material accumulation, external body deterioration, spillage and corrosion.
Structural/Mechanical Diagnosis and Vibration Study for a Bucket Wheel
Issue:
The bucket wheel structure has presented issues during its operation such as the failure of some of its structural components. A specialized study is needed to clarify its causes, so that all the information is available to a proper decision-making.
Device for Aerodynamic Drag Reduction in Heavy Ground Transportation
Issue:
Design and build an aerodynamic prototype to reduce fuel consumption by at least 5%.
Case of Success: Process Simulation
Project:
2645 - Kinross Lobo-Marte Project Concentrator Plant Dynamic Simulation
