Advitech works with resources recovery and waste management facilities to ensure they comply with local, state and federal regulations, legislation, guidelines and infrastructure plans, as well as meet the environmental expectations of the community.
Advitech can help clients across various sectors manage their National Pollutant Inventory (NPI) and National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (NGER) Scheme obligations.
Advitech’s process engineers conducted process safety audits for a large water utility. Numerous process safety gaps were identified ranging from simple fixes to possible major environmental issues arising from inadequate chemical storage. Advitech’s recommendations and implementation program identified practical solutions to improve efficiency and enhance process safety across the organisation.
SMS developed a simulation model of a complex raw coal transportation system to address bottlenecks and inadequate storage. Relatively minor infrastructure upgrades were recommended, avoiding anticipated new stockpiles or other major investment. The model was then available for ongoing use, to support decision making for other proposed projects and upgrades.
Advitech assisted a locomotive manufacturer to design a new roller support for a rail turntable.
SMS worked collaboratively with CSR Hebel to simulate their proposed new manufacturing facility. The resulting Arena simulation software clearly demonstrated that the proposed design could not meet production requirements.
Advitech assisted a South Australian foundry with its Odour Environmental Improvement Program.
Advitech’s process engineers assisted Tomago Aluminium with smelter ventilation and pollution abatement issues. Our computer flow model enabled the design of a potline ventilation system which is flexible, stable and balanced, giving our client more control over their production line and better able meet their environmental protection obligations.
We assisted with the development of a concept and detailed design for an extension of an existing Production Stockpile Pad and drainage.
Novecom developed the Quattrosound Directional Monitoring System for an open cut coal mine operating in an area combining heavy industry and residential properties. The directional system helped the operator measure the relative contribution of various noise sources within the community, enabling a better understnadig of noise issues and how to reduce their noise impacts while optimising productivity.
