Worsley Alumina Refinery – Western Australia
Worsley Alumina — a joint venture between BHP Billiton, Japan Alumina Associates and Sojitz Alumina — launched a $2.2 billion expansion to increase refinery capacity from 3.5 Mtpa to 4.6 Mtpa.
Additional power and steam were supplied by a new on-site multi-fuel cogeneration boiler, requiring strict compliance with environmental emission limits.
The boiler’s flue gas emissions needed to meet stringent Environmental Protection Act requirements while operating under:
A high-efficiency and reliable filtration system was critical.
Nederman MikroPul secured the contract via Austrian Energy & Environment on behalf of Griffin Energy.
The solution included:
Pre-assembled delivery reduced installation time and simplified integration into the expansion program.
The system continues to provide reliable, long-term performance, supporting increased refinery capacity while ensuring environmental compliance.
