Iluka Assets has awarded JordProxa the contract to provide a custom-engineered CO₂ seize plant for its flagship Eneabba uncommon earths refinery in Western Australia — a first-of-its-kind facility in Australia and amongst only some uncommon earths refineries outdoors China.
This award additional strengthens the collaboration between Iluka and JordProxa, constructing on JordProxa’s earlier contract for 10 modular evaporation crops at Eneabba, JordProxa says.
The CO₂ seize plant is designed to recuperate carbon dioxide from boiler off-gas utilizing an aqua ammonia answer, producing a managed ammonium carbonate/bicarbonate combination on the desired pH. This course of is vital not just for assembly emission requirements for ammonia but in addition for reaching exact CO₂ restoration, which performs a key function in downstream course of chemistry, JordProxa says.
JordProxa’s answer contains three fuel processing columns: one for fuel conditioning and first cooling/sprucing, and two for CO₂ absorption and ultimate fuel sprucing. The system has been designed to minimise power utilization and cut back working prices with out compromising on restoration effectivity or environmental efficiency, it says.
Whereas the massive columns are provided unfastened for on-site meeting, pumps, warmth exchangers and ancillary methods are delivered in modular skids — permitting for simplified set up, diminished on-site dangers and improved high quality by way of managed off-site fabrication, in line with JordProxa.
