Want to increase profits? Stop the decline of Research and Development.

The rate of research and development (R&D) across Australia’s industries has slipped in the last 10 years, yet the founder and Managing Director a longstanding engineering and design company says the ingredients for its revival have never gone away.

Stop stress on industries. Increase Experienced Engineering teams and Reduce risk now!

It is widespread knowledge that modern business conditions have generally led to more imported plant and equipment into the Australian market used right across industry. What is less recognised is that entire processing plants are also affected by such market dynamics, unearthing a lack of contingency planning for owners when operating problems unexpectedly hit. Resources […]

Virtual Simulation of Processing Technology and Calciners

Large-scale calciners used in mineral processing can be analysed at the design stage to mitigate the technical risk associated with the process technology and materials used in the construction of these plants. Advanced Analysis implemented at the start of a project provides a ‘virtual guarantee’ and takes much pressure off the EPCM (engineering, procurement, and […]

Engineering collaboration recognised at 2014 Endeavour Awards

With access to digital advanced analysis tools […]

Advanced analysis gives alumni and cement calciners a Virtual Guarantee

In Australia there are a number of alumina and cement calciners operating; of these some are scaled up designs with no real engineering input. They have failed at an operational level leading to large outages / maintenance issues. All of this could have been circumvented with design studies using Advanced Analysis. Consider the cost of […]
