Tiivistelmä
This thesis was done for Metso Outotec. Metso Outotec is one of the world's leading suppliers of ore processing technology. The goal of the thesis was to produce a conceptual 3D model and a piping and instrumentation diagram for a modular water treatment container.
Water plays significant role in ore processing, as the rock material extracted from the ground is mixed with water in comminution processes. After water has been introduced to the process, the mixture of water and solids is called slurry.
The water used in ore processing plants does not need to be purified, but it still needs to be treated to a certain standard. This is required to prevent a decrease in separation process efficiency due to contaminated water.
The thesis was conducted as an investigation and modeling project. The modelling was done with MicroStation software. Reference projects which had same kind of equipment were used as help in the modeling project.
As a result of the project, a conceptual 3D model and piping and instrumentation diagram were created. It can be used in future projects to reduce the required design time, which makes it possible to streamline the design process in forthcoming projects, thereby reducing the amount of time needed for design development.
