Mine Reclaim and Conveyor Circuit - Sand Plant Improvement

Project Highlights

  • Designed and engineered the reclaim tunnel and conveyor
  • Specified and selected all necessary equipment

 

Benefits (Engineering, Economics, & Environment)

Increased production rate from an actual 250 tons/hr to a design potential of 800 tons/hr. Actual operations have been running at 650 tons/hr on average.

ROI Analysis showed full payback in 6 months; however, once installed and operating, the actual payback time was only 4 months!

In eliminating the vehicular use to feed the sand plant, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions were reduced by over 1,055 tons/yr and total power usage was reduced by 1,046 HP.
