    ABB wins big Australian zinc mine hoist contract

    ABB recently won USD 24 million order to supply a complete ore hoisting solution for Xstrata Zinc's George Fisher mine located near Mount Isa in northwest Queensland, Australia. The ground mounted friction hoist will carry ore from a depth of 1,135 m and help increase GFM's production by 30% per year by 2013. Xstrata Zinc's resources in and near Mount Isa, including GFM, comprise the world's largest known zinc resource base with an estimated 600 Mt of ore and 36 MT of contained zinc metal.

    In addition to increasing production capacity at the mine, ABB's integrated hoist solution will operate at the highest levels of reliability and safety.

    Mr Veli Matti Reinikkala head of ABB's Process Automation division said that "ABB won the order for this expansion project because of our strong track record, commitment to serving the mining industry and unique position as a sole supplier of complete mine hoist systems. Our leading edge technologies, combined with our global and local industry expertise, ensure the efficiency, reliability and safety of these critical mining operations from day one."

    ABB will design, supply and commission all the electrical and mechanical equipment for a new ground mounted mine ore hoist system. At speeds of 16 m/s, the hoist will raise 600 tonne per h of ore per hour from a depth of 1,135 m. ABB's state of the art ACS 6000 medium voltage drive system, which controls torque and speed to enable energy-efficient ore haulage, will power a 9,000 kW synchronous motor to run the hoist. The hoist design will minimize impact on the surrounding power network.

    ABB will also design and supply the bottom dump ore skips with inspection platforms, the rope deflection sheaves and a skip dumping system. ABB's System 800xA AC800M industrial controller will manage and control the entire mine hoisting system from the loading conveyors to the surface ore dump station.

    Reliable performance of the hoist is critical to the safety and financial success of the mine operation. ABB's proven maintenance, lifecycle support services and expertise in delivering more than 600 new mine hoist systems worldwide, were important factors in securing this contract. Delivery is scheduled to be completed in the second half of 2013.

    Xstrata's AUD 274 million expansion of GFM will increase zinc production to 4.5 million tonne per year. The project involves sinking the second hoisting shaft, using large diameter raise boring technology, to service the northern area of the mine.

    It also includes the installation of an underground crushing and ore handling facility and upgrades to power and ventilation facilities. The expansion project had been encouraged by 126% increase in zinc reserves from 33 Mt when Xstrata acquired the operation in 2003 to 76 MT in 2010. While the increased production rate will reduce the mine life by 5 years to 21 years, the orebody remains open at depth to the north of the mine.

    ABB to help drive the world's newest copper mine

    ABB has supplied a vast array of power and automation solutions for Antofagasta’s new flagship Esperanza copper mine in Chile. The solutions include three of the world’s largest gearless mill drives, process and electrical control systems, power quality systems, a substation and an integrated operations center that controls the entire production process, including onshore facilities at a purpose-built port 145 kilometers from the mine.

    Officially opened in April 2011, Esperanza is renowned for its deployment of cutting edge technology. It is, among other things, the first large scale mine to use raw seawater in its metal producing processes the water is pumped from the coast through 145 kilometers pipeline to the mine, 2300 meters above sea level.

    Esperanza has a daily throughput capacity of 97,000 tonnes of ore. After extraction in the open pit mine, the ore is crushed in a huge 40 foot semi autogenous grinding mill and two 27 foot ball mills, all three of which are driven and controlled by ABB gearless mill drive systems with a massive power output of 22.4 and 18.6 MW respectively.

    When the contract for the mine’s gearless mill drive systems was awarded to ABB in 2007, Esperanza was only the second mine in the world to install a SAG mill and the first to install ball mills with these capacities and power ratings. These records have subsequently been superseded by ABB at other mines but at the time they were at the technological limit of what SAG and ball mills were mechanically capable of achieving.

    The gearless mill drive systems enable the grinding mills to achieve the best possible grinding results and process efficiency by adjusting the speed or direction of the mega-sized mills and ensuring a constant particle size, regardless of changes in the size or hardness of the ore.

    Each ABB gearless mill drive system comprises a large gearless synchronous motor that is wrapped around the mill like a ring. The power and control equipment of the system is located in a purpose built E-house container with built-in cycloconverter, motor control center and programmable logic controller converter transformers and excitation transformer. I

    The ore is transported to and from the grinding mills by long heavy duty conveyor belts. The belt motors are driven by powerful ABB medium voltage variable speed drives which provide dynamic control of the motors and enable soft starting and stopping of the belts, thereby saving energy and minimizing mechanical wear and tear.

    After processing, the concentrate is transported through the pipeline to the port where it is thickened and stockpiled, ready for loading onto ships. An ABB 110/23 kV substation connects the site and its onshore and offshore facilities to the power grid.

    After processing, the concentrate is transported through the pipeline to the port where it is thickened and stockpiled, ready for loading onto ships. An ABB 110/23 kV substation connects the site and its onshore and offshore facilities to the power grid.

    A mine and ore processing plant like Esperanza consumes huge amounts of electric power, and requires power quality equipment to maintain voltage stability and a high power factor. The site’s power distribution network is controlled by an ABB supervisory control and data acquisition system and is protected from destabilizing voltage spikes and harmonics-induced power losses by an ABB filter system.

    One of the most impressive ABB solutions for Esperanza is the System 800xA distributed control system which integrates all the automation systems process, power distribution, gearless mill drive, motor and conveyor, pipeline and port into a common control environment and provides interfaces with the plant management and maintenance systems.
