Integra Coal – Camberwell Mine
- Owner: Integra Coal
- Project: Upgrade Coal Preparation Plant
- Location: Camberwell Mine, Hunter Valley, Australia
- Scope: Engineering, Procurement and Construction
Project Background
Engineering, procurement and construction of upgrades to increase the output of an existing coal preparation plant.
Two projects were executed to increase the capacity of the existing CPP from 750 TPH to 1000 TPH. The first stage involved upgrading one of the two DMC circuits to include a new wing tank, 1100mm DMC, and large gravel pumps and modified dense medium recovery circuit.
The spirals circuit capacity was increased through the installation of additional spiral banks and dewatering cyclones. The raw and product coal conveyors were increased in capacity by a combination of higher speeds and wider belts.
The second stage expansion added new dewatering capacity for the coarse coal circuits.
- Throughput from 750 TPH to 1000 TPH
- Materials Handling system capacity increase to 1200 TPH
- 1100mm DMC (50mm X 1.4mm)
- Spiral Circuit Upgrade (1.4mm x 0.090mm)
- Tailing System upgrade
The projects were brown field upgrades allowing minimal production downtime for construction installation.
