Smelter Pre-Basic Engineering

Client: Umicore
Location: Belgium

Pre-basic engineering support for the design of an upgraded gas cleaning system to accommodate future production capacity increases at Umicore�s non-ferrous smelter.

Key Objectives Included:

  • Review of existing primary and secondary gas handling systems and process constraints
  • Preliminary design concepts for improved particulate and SO2 capture efficiency
  • Evaluation of integration options with existing plant equipment and layout
  • Development of high-level process flow diagrams (PFDs) and major equipment lists
  • CAPEX and OPEX order-of-magnitude estimates for selected configurations
