Projects Above Ground

 

Byrne has provided many services for projects for refineries or mining complexes above ground. 

The following are some of Byrne's recent projects:

Client CVRD-Inco

Project: Dust Collection Options for Filling Ladles for Floor Scrap

Byrne performed an investigation on the ladle filling process at the converter aisle section in the smelter building for feasible solutions for dust containment. Some of these solutions include:

  • Wet down of scrap before ladle filling
  • Various relocations for the filling process
  • Duct the dust produced to an existing baghouse/new baghouse
  • Changes in ladle and loader sizes to reduce amounts of dust produced

For each option, a preliminary system design and budget estimate was provided for each option.
