Flinders Logistics andOZ Minerals

One of the night's most prestigious awards, Bulk Han-dling Facility of the Year (Resources and Infrastruc-ture), went to Flinders Logistics and OZ Minerals.

Flinders and OZ Minerals were selected by thejudges from a pool of four finalists, which also included AhrensGroup, Allied Grain Systems, and Aurecon Australia and Queens-land Sugar.

OZ Minerals operates the Prominent Hill copper-gold mine,650km northwest of Adelaide in South Australia. Flinders workedwith OZ to develop a pit-to-port supply chain for the mine's copperconcentrate, which resembles a fine black powder.

Concentrate is loaded into special, lockable containers atProminent Hill. These are moved by road to a rail head and thenby train to Flinders' specialist bulk handling facility at Berth 29 ofPort Adelaide's Inner Harbour.

There, the bespoke 20-foot containers are tippled into ships.To minimise dust during this process, Flinders has refined its

misting system. Its patented DF Misting system uses lightweightfans to provide complete coverage of a vessel's hatch; nozzles pro-ducing tiny droplets ensure that no dust escapes.

Flinders has also automated the handling of containers on thewharf during ship-loading and installed noise control systems.

On Thursday, November 6, more than 200 membersof Australia's bulk handling community and theirguests gathered at Doltone House, by Sydney'sDarling Harbour. They were there to celebrate theindustry's finest projects, initiatives, technologiesand individuals, at the 2014 Australian BulkHandling Awards.

Ti Tedia personality and musician James Valentine served aslVAmaster of ceremonies for the evening. Coining the term 'TheBulkies', Valentine entertained the audience with anecdotes, quipsand his own, idiosyncratic insights into the sometimes arcaneworld of bulk handling.

ABHR editor, and judging panel moderator, Charles Macdon-ald, said the Awards' ninth annual instalment was without doubtthe best yet held.

"The Awards were closely contested, and attendees had a greattime on the night," Macdonald said. "As category winners were an-nounced, there was celebration in parts of the room. Others, inev-itably, were quieter. But the networking was intense, and I'm suremany new contacts were made, and fruitful associations hatched.'

The finalists, winners and those highly commended wereas follows:

Innovative Technology

WINNER: Sandpit Innovation and Lewis AustraliaWHY: Sandpit's robotic idler roller change-out robot, 'The Spidler',was selected by the judging panel for the Innovative Technologyaward due to its efficient and clever solution to a common problemin the bulk handling industry.

The Spidler is a rail-mounted robot designed to straddle anindustrial conveyor, such as the ones found on mine sites andbulk export facilities.

Using robotic arms and its own system of idlers, the Spidler isable to lift a portion of a conveyor belt off its rollers, while the con-veyor is still in operation.

Once the belt is lifted, a robotic arm swings down and replacesone or more of the conveyor's idle rollers.

HIGHLY COMMENDED: Cooperative Vision SystemsWHY: Cooperative Vision Systems developed a technology called theVisual Displacement System, which helps with the accurate loadingof bulk rail wagons.

Case Study: Exporting copperconcentrate from Port Adelaide

Working in close partnership with copper miner OZ Minerals, Flinders Logistics has developed Inner HarbourBerth 29 in Port Adelaide into a bulk handling facility that offers some of the highest standards of environmentaland safety management for stevedoring bulk commodities in Australia, the logistics operator told ABHR.

An aerial view of Berth 29 at Port Adelaide's inner harbour.

OZ Minerals owns and operates the Prominent Hill copper-gold mine, located 650km north-west of Adelaide in South

Australia. The operation consists of an open pit mine and under-ground mine, with a second underground mine in development.

Prominent Hill produces copper concentrate, a product thatresembles a fine black powder. In 2013, Prominent Hill pro-duced 73,362 tonnes of copper and 128,045 ounces of gold. Pro-duction guidance for 2014 is between 85,000 to 90,000 tonnesof copper and 130,000 to 140,000 ounces of gold.

Copper-gold concentrates produced at Prominent Hill are trans-ported by road to a rail siding and then by rail to Port Adelaide. Theconcentrate is then shipped to customers in Asia and Europe.

Flinders Logistics is a wholly owned subsidiary of FlindersPort Holdings, the same company which owns Flinders Portsand Flinders Adelaide Container Terminal. Flinders Logistics,established in 2012, is a specialist bulk logistics company look-ing to offer miners pit-to-port export solutions.

exceptional growth, quadrupling the amount of bulk mineral car-goes it handles. The company operates at three sites in Port Adelaide:• a specially designed bulk handling facility at Berth 29 in the

Inner Harbour for copper concentrate exports• common-user areas at Berths 18, 19 and 20 in the Inner Har-

bour for soda ash imports• a common-user area at the Outer Harbor for iron-ore exports

OZ Minerals is Flinders' key customer at the Berth 29 bulkhandling facility. OZ was looking to export its copper concen-trate efficiently, while avoiding double handling and bypassingconcentrates sheds and other traditional loading facilities.

Flinders Logistics consulted closely with OZ Minerals andcompleted a detailed analysis of the export supply chain op-tions from pit-to-ship for OZ Minerals' copper concentrates.This review considered various combinations of road and railtransport and compared conventional bulk transport and stor-age and containerised bulk options.

The Flinders/OZ Minerals export operationFlinders developed a transport and storage solution using con-tainers called the Enclosed Bulk System. Under the system,copper concentrates are loaded into OZ Minerals' containers atProminent Hill. These containers, featuring secure, locking toplids are then be moved by road to a rail head and transported bytrain to the Berth 29 facility.

The basis of the Enclosed Bulk System is that containers are usedto store and transport the copper concentrates, cutting down onhandling of the product along the supply chain. The method alsocuts the number of transfer points where copper concentratescould be disturbed and escape into the environment. OZ Minerals'containers also feature gravity locks to ensure a fail-sai locking

mechanism and robust security, safeguarding against accidentalspills of copper concentrates on land transport and during storage.

At the port, Flinders Logistics uses a crane with a rotating con-tainer tippler to unload bulk from containers inside a ship's hold.

To combat fugitive dust the company developed its DF Mistingdust suppression system, which was first used for Flinders' iron oretippling operations elsewhere at Port Adelaide. A Flinders Logisticsreview found that the DF Misting system could be adapted to matchthe particle sizes and hatch conditions that could occur when load-ing copper concentrates.

Under the DF Misting system used at the copper concentratetippler operation, bars are lowered into the ship's hold and posi-tioned there at different levels. The bars generate layers of fine mistof differing depths.

fans enhancing the effectiveness of the DFMisting system.

The containers used in the OZ Minerals exportoperation are shallower and heavier than I

standard twenty-foot containers.

Combining the bars with various sizes of nozzles, Flinders Logis-tics can generate droplets to match the particle size of concentratesand take account of prevailing weather conditions. This results inan extremely fine mist dispersing across the ship's hold to form anatural barrier which contains the dust particles inside the vessel.

DF Misting deploys high-pressure, purified water, which willnot calcify and clog the delicate nozzles in the sprayer system.The water droplets in the hold eventually evaporate returning tothe water cycle.

OZ Minerals chose enclosed bulk containers and a modified DFMisting system as its supply chain for copper concentrates becauseit offered the highest available environmental and safety standards.

Intermodal Solutions supplied customised containers forthe operation.

Designed to interface with the rotating container tippler,OZ Minerals' bespoke twenty-foot containers are shallower andheavier than regular containers, standing 2.2m high and weigh-ing 3-45 tonnes unladen; heavier than standard twenty-footcontainers because they contain an additional smooth internallining to facilitate unloading of copper concentrates duringcontainer tippling.

To complete the process, OZ Minerals and Flinders Logistics li-aised with OZ Minerals' other transport stakeholders - Giacci andGenesee & Wyoming - to ensure the new containers could be suc-cessfully integrated into the road and rail stages of the supply chain.

Ahead of the first consignment of copper concentrates from OZMinerals, a new rail spur linking the Berth 29 Bulk Handling Facilityto the Australian rail network was constructed.

On top of this, Flinders Logistics also initiated a number of safe-ty and environmental upgrades at the Berth 29 bulk handling facil-ity, including:• the purchase of a new, additional Terex Gottwald Mobile Har-

bour Crane, two new Terberg Terminal Tractors and two newKalmar Reach Stackers

• the development of a fully automated container guidance sys-tem to eliminate manual handling of containers on the wharf

• a stormwater management system to reduce pollution risksfrom stormwater for Port Adelaide's Port River through Berth 29

Flinders says commissioning the new mobile harbour crane,terminal tractors and reach stackers has enhanced its overallbusiness efficiency. Productivity has increased for OZ Mineralsand Flinders Logistics' other resources sector clients at Berth 29because ships now spend less time in port.

New hard stand has been created at Berth 29, providing extra

storage space, allowing for peaks in export volumes or storage re-quirements for OZ Minerals and other Berth 29 clients.

Flinders Logistics' container guidance system, called theContainer Spreader Guidance Apparatus, is designed to elimi-nate the need for manual handling of containers on the wharfduring ship loading.

The development of the new stormwater management sys-tem saw the site separated into three catchment areas: south-ern, central and northern.

Two settling ponds installed in the central and northern areascollect stormwater. The central settling pond holds 753,000 litreswhile the pond at the northern edge of the bulk handling facilitycan capture up to 1,008,000 litres of stormwater. A pipe networkwith a capacity of 200,000 litres serves as storage for the southernarea. Any residues collect in these ponds and pipe network throughstormwater runoff, for example emissions from vehicles, or dustparticles blown into Berth 29 from other stevedoring operators.

The stormwater that is collected is then taken off site for dispos-al by a licensed waste disposal company.

Focus on further developmentSince developing the supply chain for copper concentratesthrough Berth 29, Flinders Logistics and OZ Minerals have con-tinued to work together.

From its inception the DF Misting system has been constantlyrefined and improved. It now features four different types of nozzleswith bespoke filters and a water-wise innovation that has reducedthe amount of water used to generate the fine mist spray.

In the last 12 months, Flinders Logistics has worked with OZMinerals on DF Misting fan technology. In windy conditions, thoughthe system with multi-layered bars was still effective, it was hard touse. On project cargo ships or vessels with very large hatches, itwas not always possible to fit the DF Misting bars around the entirehatch and provide complete coverage. On these non-standard ves-sels and in windy conditions, small amounts of copper concentratewould accumulate on the edge of the cargo hatch.

Several solutions to mitigate this dust problem were trialled, andthe DF Misting fan technology was selected.

The DF Misting fans use water pressure rather than electrici-ty to generate a fine mist across the ship's hold. The lightweightfans weigh five kilograms each and can be installed anywhereon the ship's hold, so access limitations on project cargo vesselsare avoided. Lightweight and flexible, these fans are safer, eas-ier and faster to install than the DF Misting system's multi-lay-er bars, Flinders says. Higher water pressure on the fans alsomakes them more efficient than the bars.

Between four to six fans provide complete coverage of the ves-sel hatch; twenty bars from the DF Misting multi-layer droplet sys-tem would be needed to achieve the same result.

In addition to the fan technology, Flinders Logistics has madea number of in-house improvements for OZ Minerals and other re-sources sector clients at Berth 29.

These initiatives include a noise reduction system for bothFlinders Logistics' mobile harbour cranes. The noise control sys-tem fits across the air-inlet fan of each crane, and has cut noiselevels around the cranes by almost 60%.

A targeted testing programme for the stormwater is in placeto check the contaminant levels of the water collected in the set-tling ponds. As well as monitoring the quality of the water, thisalso informs ongoing investigations into stormwater treatmentoptions. Over the last two years, alternatives to the off-site dis-posal of stormwater have been considered and investigated. Thishas involved desk-top studies and field trials of bio-filtration andhybrid technologies. The aim is to identify then implement thebest option for treating stormwater on site at Berth 29. •

Strong crowd for rodeoBY CHELSEA ASHMEADE

A beautiful night and perfect weather condi-tions helped the strong turn out for the 62nd annu-al Oz Minerals Carrieton Rodeo on December 27.

Good entries saw the need for a slack event withmany competitors taking on the arena before themain action had begun.

The action in the main arena was like noneother and riders took the opportunity to show thecrowd just how good they were.

There were several well-scoring eight-secondrides in both the bulls and broncs, while thewomen in the barrel race put on a show for rodeo-goers too. Competitors in the steer wrestling, ropeand tie, breakaway roping, team roping and all thejunior riders certainly took the chance to put theirpractice into play.

The grand opening included the singing of thenational anthem by three cowgirls on horse back -a first for Carrieton and possibly Australianrodeos.

Sam Gibb sang ‘Our Rodeo’, Sandy McMenaminsang two songs, while Mick Batchelor rode a horsein full battle fatigue to recognise and rememberhorses and riders from the district who joined theGreat War.

Carrieton Rodeo is one not to be missed andorganisers have said at this year’s rodeo (to be heldin December, 2015) aerobatic display pilot ChrisSperou will put on a display and fly-over thegrounds. The next rodeo to be held will beWilmington on January 24 at the WilmingtonRodeo Grounds.
