Exxon Mobil Kearl Oil Sands slurry preparation plants. The project consisted of the design/construction of facilities for the conversion of the oil sands into a slurry composition. Two trains were designed with a 10,000 tph capacity each. MGA's scope of work included, structural, mechanical and piping engineering. The extent of work covers the design, fabrication and erection supervision. Located in Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada.
The purpose of the plant is to prepare ore for hydro-transport to the process plant. This process entails receiving dry crushed ore from two feed conveyors, mixing it with hot water, screening and crushing it as required and pumping it to subsequent processing units. The building houses the following equipment: slurry pumps, pump boxes, mix boxes, chutes, vibrating screens and a secondary crusher.
MGA acted the engineer of record for the structural, mechanical and piping stress analysis. The scope of work included:
-
Preparation of the structural design criteria specification
