Equipment: Cummins 300kVA Generator
Electric output mode: Prime Supply
Segment / Fuel: Mineral Sands Mine / Diesel
We were approached by our client to provide a 300kVA diesel genset that could not only withstand high corrosive environment in the harshest of conditions in outback Australia but also provide longevity for years to come.
The Situation
The Generator was required to provide prime power to a slurry pump that constantly moves product between mining and process areas of the mine. Due to its location, the generator needed to be protected from harsh conditions including erosion and rusting from the salt in the air.
As a full service, power generation supplier, Tranex’s in house engineering team worked with the client to provide a custom turnkey solution designed for one of the toughest applications.
- Advanced air inlet filtering to block sand ingress and salt-laden air, protecting the engine and air intake system.
- Marine-grade undercoat for corrosion resistance on exposed surfaces.
- Hot-dip galvanized skid base - this raises the unit off the sand (preventing burial or corrosion from ground contact) and allows towing/movement across the beach.
- Additional rust-proofing treatments for extra durability in saline conditions.
- Enhanced sound attenuation to minimize noise impact on nearby residents or wildlife.
