Case study overview:
McConnell Dowell is delivering the largest capital works contract for BCI Minerals’ solar evaporation operations called Mardie Salt & Potash Project. It is set to be a large-scale, multi-generational and sustainable salt production facility in the region.
Key challenge:
Difficult site conditions include high ambient heat, fine red dust, and cyclone potential. The site also has limited space for equipment.
Solarator® solution:
Our solar-powered commercial generator Solarator® Compact 150+ kVa replaced a 150 kVa diesel unit in McConnell Dowell’s high dust 24/7 usage compound. By using our robust and reliable diesel alternative, McConnell Dowell is saving as much as $136,000 in fuel costs annually and avoiding 205,000 kgs of carbon emissions annually. At current configuration, the payback period is expected to be at 1.9 years only.
Project wins:
- Quiet and reliable operations
- Comfortable workers camp
- Compact, robust and vandal-proof design ideal for extreme conditions
- Performance data used for ESG compliance and strategic business decisions
