Project:Process Control & Automation
Xstrata
The custom feed calciner plant is a pre-treatment facility which treats various recycled materials prior to feeding them into the furnace and converters. The project team was based on a collaboration of expertise from various backgrounds in order to deliver a system that meets its design objectives while following Xstrata Nickel design standards. BESTECH’s role in the project included all electrical design, automation, PLC/HMI programming, commissioning and system training. Also, BESTECH provided construction assistance and post project support. The facility now operates 24 hours a day; 7 days a week and feeds the calciner furnace bins.
