Laureate - Recognition of an innovative project in the region (Montérégie)date of distinction - March 2017 Emitter of the distinction Ordre des ingénieurs du QuébecRecognize a company that has distinguished itself by its contribution to the pursuit of excellence through an innovative engineering project in its region.Project engineers successfully completed the project based on the engineering profession's values ​​of competence, ethics, responsibility and social commitment.Energy recovery at rotary coolersThe project aimed to improve energy recovery of rotary cooler # 4 and to recover the energy from rotary cooler # 3. The energy coming from the oxidation of zinc ore was considered a waste and was returned to the river. The recovery is achieved by preheating the demineralized water that will be used for steam production at the plant.The project increases the steam productivity of the roaster department by around 20,000 mTm and thus reduces the boiler's natural gas consumption by around 20%. A reduction of CO2 emissions of 6% (about 3000 Tm) also takes place.Optimisation of equipments including:Fluidized bed roastersWasteheat boilersElectrostatic precipitatorBall millsHot gas scrubberWet electrostatic precipitatorDrying and absorption columnSO2/SO3 converterElaborate and optimize control loops in order to increase the efficiency and reliability of the productions linesTake part in the commissioning of various project in the departmentQuality insurance coordinatorReplace the department managerMember of the Emergency Environment Response Service since October 2014
