Introduction

Custom Tank System Boosts Uptime and Processing Capacity for Chemical Plant

To support continuous operations and reduce system shutdowns, Coerco partnered with Coogee Chemicals to deliver a tailored, multi-stage tank solution for titanium dioxide separation in their Kwinana-based chemical processing facility.

The Challenge

Preventing Shutdowns and Managing Complex Solids Separation

Coogee Chemicals needed a high-efficiency solution to manage titanium dioxide buildup in process water—without interrupting operations.

Frequent System Shutdowns

Titanium Dioxide Buildup Disrupted Operations Accumulated solids in the quench tower’s process water required frequent flushing, causing downtime and reducing throughput.

Complex Separation Requirements

Continuous Removal of Solids Was Needed Extracting titanium dioxide at scale, without stopping circulation, required a system that could run at continuous duty.

Space and System Constraints

New Equipment Had to Fit Existing Infrastructure The solution had to integrate precisely with the plant’s existing pipework, requiring customized fittings and layout alignment.

The Solution

Engineered Multi-Tank System for Continuous Solids Removal

Multi-Stage Separation System

Clarifiers, Cone Tanks, and Holding Tanks Work in Sequence The new system uses 3 tanks: a 5,300L clean water tank, 12,000L dirty water cone tank, and a 27,000L clarifier engineered for uninterrupted flow.

Custom Fit and 3D Modelling

Offset Fittings Designed to Match Existing Layout Using in-house 3D modelling, Coerco tailored all tanks to integrate seamlessly with Coogee’s plant layout and pipework.

On-Time Delivery and Budget Alignment

Fully Managed Project Execution Coerco delivered the complete system on time, on budget, and directly to site through its in-house logistics division.
