  1. Cameco Cigar LakeHigh Pressure Jet Water Heat Dissipation System Design Preliminary Design Presentation Arthur Cradock Jason Iverson MykolaGauk

  2. Background • Cigar Lake – Largest undeveloped uranium ore body in the world. • Ground is very unstable and must be frozen prior to ore extraction. • Ore is mined using high pressure water pumped by four 800hp positive displacement pumps. • The mine is currently underwater.

  3. Problem Description • Water temperature exceeds pump operating conditions (Tmax = 30oC) • Four high pressure pumps operate continuously throughout mining process in either jetting or standby mode • Max water pressure of 100MPa • When not jetting, water recirculates • Automated process

  4. System Schematic

  5. Objectives • Evaluate the current system and create an engineering model • Evaluate possible solutions for removing excess heat to remain within operating temperatures • Detailed analysis on final design solution • Deliverables include final drawings, parts list and cost analysis

  6. Status • Met with client to discuss scope and constraints • Received information package from client including drawings and previous test report • Developed written scope of work for client • Developed schedule of events • Developed system schematic • Currently developing engineering model • Currently awaiting on vendor feedback
