Engineering Audits & Inspections

Engineering audits and engineering inspections are an integral part of both new projects on site and ongoing operations. They are an exercise in benchmarking to assess and understand what is currently in place and quantifying this through reporting. They can identify areas where corrective actions may be required to achieve compliance, or where improvements would provide a benefit to the client. Engineering audits and engineering inspections are tools that can also be used to determine if a project was installed in accordance with the original designs, and provide an accurate starting point for future projects. They can also be an opportunity to have an independent set of eyes review the situation and provide an informed assessment.

Comparing MBR & SBR Technologies

admin — Mon, 17 Oct 2016 04:39:07 +0000

While there are similarities between MBR and SBR (both are forms of the activated sludge process), there is one fundamental difference – the method of separating the mixed liquor from the treated wastewater. SBR technology relies on gravity settling (or phase separation), while MBR technology uses the membrane as a physical barrier for separation. On the surface this may seem like a subtle difference, however, by using a physical barrier for separation, MBR technology provides numerous advantages.

Typical Plant Layout for the Syngineering MBR and MBBR Systems

admin — Sun, 04 Sep 2016 08:25:22 +0000

Syngineering have been hard at work developing a range of containerised Membrane Bio Reactors (MBR) and Moving Bed Bio Reactor (MBBR) systems suitable for treating a wide range of waste water that includes sewage treatment, land fill leachate, effluent treatment and many more. These systems are fully containerised and range in size from 10KL/day through to many mega litres per day. The advantage of the Syngineering systems are that they come standard with Reverse Osmosis or RO filtration meaning that they will produce permeate that complies with Australian and New Zealand drinking water guidelines.

Effluent Treatment by Syngineering

admin — Sun, 04 Sep 2016 07:59:43 +0000

Syngineering Water, Australian distributors of VSEP water treatment systems have been applying the VSEP to many different ways to improve waste water treatment. This application is treating effluent from an abattoir and producing water that complies to the Australian Drinking water guidelines

I know this is not the best topic and people do not want to talk about effluent, but unless innovative practical engineers and scientists like the team at Syngineering continue to develop ways to treat effluent, waste water and leachate then we will destroy ourselves.

Syngineering have been developing new and innovative methods of treating effluent and waste water by combining VSEP and reverse osmosis.

VSEP Solves Landfill Leachate in Columbia

admin — Tue, 01 Mar 2016 11:57:18 +0000

The City of Buga in Colombia has a small landfill that serves the entire city. There was only a very small space left for putting trash and the projection was that it would run out of space in about 4 months. The Presidente Landfill asked authorities to open a new area on its property for trash disposal. The regulators told them that in order to give them a permit, they must install equipment to treat the landfill leachate. In addition, the existing storage ponds for leachate were nearly at capacity. Production of more Leachate would have required construction of more storage ponds.

A gas to energy project is also planned for this site. The first phase would be gas extraction with flares to burn the gas. The next phase would be installation of electrical gas-fired generators to make electricity. Prior to getting permitting for this project, leachate treatment was also required. While the trash in the landfill needs to be moist so that bacteria can convert organics to methane, there cannot be too much liquid (leachate) in the trash or the rate of gas extraction would be impaired.

Process Description

A full –scale VSEP system was installed at this site using three of the large 84” VSEP modules. Since the filtrate would be used for land irrigation, only a single pass with RO was required. Other VSEP installations would also include a second stage RO spiral polishing system to make water that would meet surface water discharge requirements. But in this case, Ammonia, COD, and other contaminants were sufficiently removed with just one pass through the VSEP RO system.

Syngineering Solves Fatigue Cracking In Trommel Wheel

admin — Tue, 17 Sep 2013 12:19:16 +0000

Syngineering were asked to investigate why the trommel wheels were cracking. The team of experienced engineers at Syngineering used Finite Element Analysis to develop a model that accurately modeled where the fatigue cracks were occurring.

Using this model, the engineers could then optimise the design changing the design of the trommel wheel spokes.

The design improvements were then checked using the original FEA model.

Finite Element Analysis (FEA)

admin — Tue, 17 Sep 2013 11:58:17 +0000

Syngineering makes extensive use of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to solve many complex engineering problems.

Many problems can be solved by our experienced engineers, however, there are times when the most talented engineers need to use FEA to help solve some of the more complex engineering problems.

The team of experienced engineers have used FEA to identify fatigue stress raisers, optimise designs and verify designs. Some of the applications include lifting beams, vacuum lifters, transport skids, trommel wheels, lifting dogs, storage racks, pressure vessels, press dies, and many more …..

Steel Storage Racking – AS4084 Certification

admin — Sun, 15 Sep 2013 09:57:15 +0000

We all have storage racks but when was the last time you had them checked?

We see racks of all shapes and sizes, we see the brand new racks complete with a certification tag. These are not the ones that keep us awake at night. The ones that really worry the team at Syngineering are the ones that were thrown together in the workshop as a temporary and then temporary becomes permanent and still no one has thought to get these certified.

The team of engineers, draftsman and tradesman at Syngineering want to help and can check the certification of your storage racking and make sure they comply to AS4084. Syngineering will then supply full detail drawings for each storage rack along with a certification tag and RPEQ .

Syngineering Designs Vacuum Pipe Lifter – 40tonne WLL

admin — Sun, 15 Sep 2013 09:08:35 +0000

Syngineering has worked with a Queensland manufacturer to develop a vacuum pipe lifter used to lift 10tonne pipes from the hull of a ship and move the pipes to a waiting truck. The pipes range in diameter up to 450mm and up to 14m in length.

The team of engineers, draftsman and tradesman at Syngineering were heavily involved throughout the project from not initial concept stages through manufacturing and ultimately, preparing as built drawings to record the changes made during the final manufacturing of the vacuum lifters.

The Syngineering engineers made extensive use of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) throughout the design. This allowed the engineers to optimise the weight of the vacuum lifter.

Syngineering have designed the vacuum lifter to be entirely self contained with on board vacuum tanks and control systems. The lifters also included fork tine slots to allow the lifter to be safely moved around the dock yard using a 16tonne forklift.

The Syngineering team also included certified lifting lugs to allow the vacuum lifter to moved around the dock yard.

Syngineering not only provided manufacturing drawings but 3D models, DXF files for laser cutting of components but also rendered images for marketing brochures and RPEQ certification for the project.

Syngineering develops fertiliser crusher

admin — Sun, 15 Sep 2013 04:02:42 +0000

Syngineering have worked closely with a local Queensland manufacturer to design and develop a crusher capable of breaking and then crushing a 5 tonne block of fertiliser into dust ready for use.

The team of experienced engineers, draftsman and tradesman worked closely with the customer and their tradesman to develop the a cost effective and robust design.

The Syngineering team not only developed manufacturing drawings but 3D models, rendered models, exploded views and RPEQ certification for the project.

Oxygen Lance Reverse Engineering

admin — Sun, 15 Sep 2013 03:42:09 +0000

Syngineering have recently been working on a project for a major Queensland power station.

The original request was to reverse engineer a set of components and produce manufacturing drawings for the oxygen lance.

Sounds simple, except for the fact that many of the components had been burnt away in the furnace.

The team of experienced engineers, draftsman and tradesman at Syngineering worked closely to produce not only manufacturing drawings but exploded views for manuals, sectional views and rendered models to help.
