BLACKWATER COAL HANDLING

PREPARATION PLANT, BLACKWATER,

QUEENSLAND

This project was Australia's largest ever

turnkey design and construct coal handling

and preparation plant contract, which was

being undertaken in joint venture.

Designed with plant capacity to produce

14mtpa, replacing Blackwater Mine's

existing North, South and Thermal plants.

Features:

receiving plant for Run of Mine coal

crushing and screening plant

60,000t raw coal stockpile/blending bed

two module 1,800tph wash plant

450,000t product coal stockpile

two travelling, slewing, luffing stackers

two portal reclaimers

train-loading system to load 7,000t trains in

1.4 hours

EMA Consulting Engineers was engaged to

produce the detail drawings for the Raw

Coal Dump Hopper, Conveyor Chutework

plus the Structure and Chutework for the

Two Module 1,800tph Wash Plant. EMA

Consulting Engineers produced 785

drawings (approximately 870 tonnes), for

the Wash Plant Structure and 146 drawings

(approximately 105 tonnes), for the Wash

Plant Chutework.

Models

AutoPIPE interoperability with STAAD.Pro

• Faster Design Combined structure + piping model w/changed piping

loads automatically updated multiple times in STAAD

• Less Assumptions More accurate pipe support & equipment loads +

realistic structural and piping design stresses

• Structural Sway and Stiffness Combined structure + piping model to analyze true

combined stiffness

• Cost Savings Avoid costly re-design and construction delays


Automatic Vertical Support Connections

Vertical Up Connection Vertical Down Connection

To further enhance our interoperability with structural analysis

AutoPIPE now includes ‘Vertical Only’ connections for supports


Question?

• Why combine Structural and Piping models?


Lungmen Nuclear Plant – Coupled Structural & Piping

Taiwan Power Company (Stone & Webster)

Problem: Disconnected Main Steam Piping & Structural design = Dynamic Seismic Phasing Issues, grossly inaccurate

Structural flexibility and large pipe support loads

Courtesy : Stone & Webster Inc., A

Shaw Group Company

Solution: Coupled Structure & piping gave reduced seismic loads at Turbine, more

accurate pipe support design, greater confidence in static & dynamic analysis design

Is it Safe?

Conclusion

“Coupled Model Provides a more Realistic Load

Definition for Main Steam Piping System”


Queensland Alumina - Failure of Spent Liquor Pumps

Large pulsations in piping => Excessive pipe movement =>

Excessive loads on the equipment

Excessive movement of pump suction piping = pump

realignment.

Pump is one of the most heavily loaded single volute

pumps in the world.

Failure of pump suction pipe supports

Failure of pump packing

High rate of pump failures due to distortion

Spent Liquor

Pumps


Problem: The system was designed with Caesar without the structure and after Start-Up the pumps failed. In the model

without structure there is No Overstress

Re-Modeled in AutoPIPE with Structure from STAAD confirmed the Piping system is overstressed and Pump loads too high.

Output header also has primary overstress when the supports that lift-off are removed.
