$9 million water plant renovation almost complete
Craig Daily Press
That may all come to an end soon as City Engineer Bill Earley said the parts to repair the plant?s new pump systems are about six weeks from delivery. ?nce that happens we hope to be able to fully test all our equipment and be up and running? he said. The Craig City Council approved a roughly $8 million construction project at the plant a few years ago plus $1 million in design fees to Denver-based engineering firm Tetra Tech with the intent of doubling the city?s capacity for clean drinking water from 6 million gallons to 12 million gallons a day. fficials hope the project will net enough water output to carry Craig through the next 20 years. ne never can tell though Earley said. ?It mostly depends on growth and right now that?s kind of slowed down to a crawl? he said. It also depends on what new regulations the state and federal governments pass down for local communities Earley added.

verall leach extraction with a 36 hour retention time was 87% withRIP extraction of uranium from the leached slurry averaging 99. Subsequent analysis of the pilot plant data and additional testsshowed that extraction would likely be 89% if retention times wereincreased slightly to 48 hours. A mixture of air and sulphur dioxide (S2) wassuccessfully used as an oxidant. Tailings neutralization was performed continuously using groundlimestone in a first stage then slaked lime to complete theneutralization reactions.

based office in incubator space at Kettering University in Flint. The office opened last month. Human waste treated at the wastewater treatment plant will be used to create biogas. “This is outstanding for the city” he said adding workers at the plant will be used to do this different process work. The city will save money because the biogas will generate electricity which will lower the plant’s electric bill Guise said. The savings will benefit Flint which faces a nearly $15 million deficit and expects to see less revenue in future years.

PR Newswire (press release)
Autodesk Navisworks 2010 provides new capabilities that manage multi-disciplinary plant design and engineering workflows and enhance coordination across distributed teams. New plant-relevant features include:Clash grouping and detection – Autodesk Navisworks combines precise faultfinding with hard soft clearance and time-based clash management. Engineers can more quickly review and cross-check geometry created by most 3D authoring software; maintain a complete record of all clashes found throughout a project; check time and space coordination; and resolve site and workflow issues at the planning stage. Multi-format support – Compatible with most major 3D design and laser scan formats Autodesk Navisworks can combine 3D data from multiple formats regardless of file size into a comprehensive dynamic information model which can be shared with all stakeholders. Autodesk is committed to providing multi-format support and will work to provide compatibility with new file formats as they emerge.
