Order includes ABB water-cooled variable speed drives and high voltage induction motors that will deliver industry-leading energy efficiency.
訂單包含高效的ABB水冷變頻器和高壓感應電機。
The Iron Bridge Magnetite Project, an unincorporated joint venture between Fortescue’s subsidiary FMG Magnetite Pty Ltd and Formosa Steel IB (Iron Bridge Joint Venture), covers the development of a new magnetite mine, including processing and transport facilities. Located in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, the mine is expected to produce 22 million wet tonnes per annum of high grade, magnetite concentrate used for steel production.
鐵橋磁鐵礦項目由FMG集團子公司FMG磁鐵礦公司 (FMG Magnetite Pty Ltd) 與合資伙伴Formosa Steel IB共同運營,業務涉及包括加工和運輸等基礎設施在內的新磁鐵礦開發。該礦位于西澳皮爾巴拉地區,預計年產2200萬噸高質量磁鐵精礦,這些精礦可以用于鋼鐵生產。
As part of the project, the Iron Bridge Joint Venture require a cost-effective energy efficient variable speed drive solution. These drives, to be installed in eight switch rooms, operate with a separate transformer that is located outside the room. This reduces the heat generated inside, resulting in less energy required to maintain the 25°C room temperature.
該項目需要一種經濟高效的節能控制方案。這些變頻器被分別安裝到八個電氣室,與室外的獨立變壓器配合運行。該方案可以減少室內產生的熱量,從而降低為維持25°C室溫所需的能耗。
ABB’s water-cooled drives also directly support a higher voltage 33kV network. This eliminates the need for a lower voltage intermediate switchboard and additional components, which ultimately reduces the total cost of the project.
ABB水冷變頻器可直接接入電壓高達33kV的電網,無需安裝低壓開關柜,大大降低了項目總投資。
Iron Bridge also selected ABB high voltage induction motors to power high pressure grinding rolls, grinding mills and baghouse fans used to separate the ore from the dust. Engineered to withstand harsh conditions, the motors offer high power efficiency, but in a frame size smaller than competitive alternatives. With a compact footprint, these motors are energy efficient, save space and require less structural foundation.
該項目還選用了ABB高壓感應電機為高壓輥磨機、破碎機和去除礦石上粉塵的袋式除塵器提供動力。這些電機不僅能夠適應惡劣工況,而且擁有比同等競品更小的外形尺寸和更高的輸出功率。這種緊湊的結構設計能幫助客戶節省現場空間,提高能效,降低對安裝基礎的要求。
“We have worked closely with the Iron Bridge team to ensure that we delivered an energy efficient, reliable and innovative solution,” said Mike Briggs, Business Manager for ABB Motion, Australia. “We are especially pleased to have won both the drive and the motor business and look forward to continuing our strong relationship with Fortescue beyond the delivery of this project and supporting them throughout the mine’s lifecycle.”
“我們與鐵橋項目團隊緊密協作,確保我們為客戶提供節能、可靠和創新的解決方案,”澳大利亞ABB 運動控制業務經理Mike Briggs表示:“我們很榮幸能斬獲該項目的變頻器和電機業務,也期待在項目交付后繼續與Fortescue建立牢固的合作關系,并在礦山開發的整個生命周期中為他們提供支持。”
Fortescue is one of the world’s largest iron ore producers. The $2.6 billion project is expected to be completed in the first half of 2022.
Fortescue是全球最大的鐵礦石生產商之一。鐵橋磁鐵礦項目耗資26億美元,預計在2022年上半年投產。
