A Zero Waste Approach to TiO2 Manufacturing

Currently, TiO2 waste is neutralised and eventually landfilled. Although the term used is neutralised, it tends to remain alkaline and hazardous because of its vanadium and TiO2 content.

TiO2 (Titanium Dioxide) is a pure white material and most people would recognise it as it is the main pigment used in paint, it is used in two-thirds of all pigments; there is an enormous global demand for the material.

GSA has recently completed several rounds of research to successfully recover vanadium and nickel from gasifier cinder.

Discovered in 1831, Vanadium is a metal named after the Swedish Goddess of Beauty and Fertility due to the brilliant and attractive colours of the chemical compounds in which it was first found.

Uses of Vanadium: Transport

Vanadium’s ability to add strength and weldability to steel when the two are alloyed together, alongside its corrosive resistant properties makes it the perfect companion to modern-day transport.

Case Study Heavy Crude Deep Conversion South America

Development from visualisation through to completion of Basic Engineering Package of a unique processing system to treat residue from the HDHPlus® unit being installed as part of their CP RPLC Deep Conversion Project. HDHPLUS® is a flagship technology for Venezuela having been developed in-country and is one of the emerging technologies for sustained bottom of the barrel oil processing.

GSAe undertook the CEP and BEP phases for a new plant to extract vanadium and nickel from flexicoke.

The intention is to build a new extra heavy crude refinery in the Northern Gulf. The refinery will employ a novel slurry catalyst technology called Heavy Residue Hydroconversion unit (HRH) to upgrade the crude feed oil, thereby increasing yield. The technology is particularly efficient for processing crudes from marginal oil fields

During the project development and basic engineering design phases for a refinery project that GSAe were supporting, the crude and refined product markets altered significantly from that encountered when the economic case for the project was developed.
