FEASIBILITY STUDIES
The most important work happens at the beginning of a new project. The objective of a feasibility study is to determine the best solution for your project while keeping the costs as low as possible. You may also need to determine the extent of the project scope and get a budget in place to get your project funded. This is where our team excels.
Our combination of engineers and modeling staff working together grant many experienced perspectives, spawning creative solutions.
We will work collectively with you to establish the design criteria for the project. Then we provide flowsheets to ensure proper mass balance and the design intent.
Simultaneously we construct a 3D model, whether your project is greenfield or upgrades to an existing plant. This 3D model is used as a tool to get all the stakeholders’ input and to verify that the physical constraints of the project can be met. The project model also allows our engineers to make better estimations on structural members, access platforms, and predict the costs of the smaller details.
The best solution is often the simplest design. Let’s not make this hard!
Scheduling
Large projects can have complex schedules that include procurement of long lead time equipment as well as fabrication schedules. We can get you on track by focusing on the critical path and not letting your schedule get overwhelmed by the non-critical tasks.
Cost Estimating
We have a large estimating database and are continuously receiving new quotes on equipment and materials to keep our numbers up to date. With how efficiently we integrate our 3D model with our engineering, we can produce a tighter project budget from the beginning.
Mechanical
We have years of experience with plant layouts and material handling equipment, chutework, and ancillary equipment required to run your plant. We work closely with vendors to get drawings and equipment costs. Our studies consider maintenance access as well as safe working platforms and monorails needed for an easily maintainable system.
Structural
3D modeling allows us to get to the finish line,
given our year of experience. By Importing the 3D
model into our structural software, we can
estimate member sizes and concrete quantities.
This will give you a high level of confidence in an
area that can be challenging during a study, which
is often underestimated.
3D Modeling
We use 3D modeling software as our standard for all our projects and are quite proficient at it. You will be impressed by what we can produce in a short time. Over the years we have dialed in the level of detail required to determine feasibility. We don’t waste money modeling things that do not have major impacts on layout constraints or the overall project cost. The best part is that we can use this model to go straight to detailed engineering.

Evaluations
Just because it’s old, doesn’t mean it needs replacing. Upgrading an existing installation can buy you additional years of operation, without large capital expenditures. However, knowing what the likely problems and costs are, can be critical to making an informed decision. Sometimes, you just need to know if it’s still safe.
We are well versed in evaluating a wide range of structures and mechanical equipment. From conveyor belts, corroded towers, worn chutework, to malfunctioning dust collection, we will bring clarity and direction to your concerns—and give you honest answers.
Our evaluations range from a quick walkthrough to a brief report to an exhaustive field investigation coupled with thorough engineering calculations. let’s get in touch to discuss what the right option is for you.

BASIC ENGINEERING PHASE
Establish conveyor belt design requirements, conveyor capacity, belt speed, work-points and general layout. This phase includes general arrangement drawings and a 3D model for client review.
We can determine the critical interfaces with other material handling equipment and chute-work. If this work is part of an existing system or structure, we can create other 3D models of the existing structure and any potential interfaces, like a new conveyor. In our experience, a 3D model greatly reduces installation costs by avoiding interferences with existing structure or equipment. When complex geometry is not modeled, there tends to be expensive rework and down time that far exceeds the cost of creating a 3D model. Fortunately for you, creating a 3D model is where we excel.
This phase is highly collaborative in order to make all of the important decisions early in the design. A 3D model can be easily worked to present design decisions to the stakeholders, who can then make informed decisions with a 3D model, given it’s clear and understandable manner over its 2D counterpart.
We understand that not all stakeholders will have the time to wrap their minds around hundreds or even thousands of 2D drawings and many stakeholders are not familiar with reading engineering drawings.
This can make it difficult for stakeholders to make informed decisions and get the input from the people that matter. We highly advocate 3D modeling, it is the reason why this is our standard method of design.
Once the 3D model is reviewed and approved, then detailed engineering can begin. Often times at the end of this phase, a preliminary cost estimate is established to begin setting project budgets.
DETAILED ENGINEERING
PHASE
Whether we will help you with the basic engineering phase, created a 3D model, or you just have 2D drawings, we can pick it up from there. In either case, we will end up with a detailed 3D model with structural member sizes and accurately modeled conveyor components. Ingenium Design can provide as much or as little scope as you need to get the job done right.

Conveyors
Our experts have miles of conveyor belt engineering and design experience. Some of our experience includes engineering quarter mile long enclosed tubular conveyors. We have designed elevated conveyors landing on 120 foot tall stacking tubes and storage domes. Rail dump hopper feeders with belt widths up to 72” inches and reversing loadout conveyors is a taste of what we do. One of the more challenging conveyor transfer towers we designed included five 60” wide conveyor belts and transfers within a single tower. We have also designed process plants with dozens of conveyors snaking through the facility thanks to our 3D modeling expertise.
quotes that are ready for purchase to make sure technical requirements, part numbers, and quantities are correct.
We can also help with the bidding process. Here we provide bid evaluations and recommendations for vendors and steel fabricators. Ingenium Design will work closely with the steel detailer to ensure the integrity of the 3D model.
The 3D model created in the engineering phase can greatly reduce the time required to detail and fabricate the steel. Many steel detailer’s can import our 3D model which contains the structural member sizes.
CONSTRUCTION ASSISTANCE
PHASE
Conveyor truss to covered storageWe find that projects are more successful if we have an eye on the construction. A couple site visits or regularly scheduled visits may be required depending on the complexity of your project. Oversight gives us an opportunity to catch any mistakes that may go unnoticed or foresee and avoid potential future issues. The earlier any issues are corrected, the less expensive they typically are. Our presence also gives the contractor opportunities to ask questions or address concerns without bogging down the schedule and producing piles of unnecessary paperwork.
Design of the stringer tables, trusses, walkways, galleries, bents, towers, pulley frames, take-up carts, skirt-boards, head-chutes all the way down to the foundations can be provided. We would also love to design your transfer towers and can optimize these structures based on conveyor work-points and required transition distances.
You may have vendors you prefer for conveyor components. These can be incorporated into the design. If you need to go out for bid, for certain components, then we can help you through that process as well.
The conveyor may require passive or active dust collection or suppression. These are systems our engineers can provide, more so than just the conveyor belt design.
PROCUREMENT ASSISTANCE
PHASE
Conveyors components and steel are purchased either during or after the detailed engineering phase depending on the project timeline. If you need help purchasing the conveyor components, we will work with component vendors to get firm
INGENIUMDESIGN.US
These powerful tools give us a leg up early on in the design to make informed decisions that will ultimately lead to a better conveyor. These tools also allow us to optimize the conveyor layout and run “what if?” scenarios with less effort. We are excited about where this effort will take us.

PROJECT APPROACH AND
DELIVERY
Every project is different, and the project approach may vary. Let us work with you to find the approach that makes sense for you. Ingenium Design can show you how conveyor belt design and installation can be performed successfully.
We continue to develop our designs and delivery methods as technology changes and we have the flexibility to provide you exactly what you need on your next project.
WHAT’S NEXT?
At Ingenium Design we are always working hard to give you a better solution. We are working to integrate some of our engineering software with our design and modeling software.
This allows our engineers to explore design options and better understand how their decisions affect the overall design.
INGENIUMDESIGN.US
Piping
Piping is an integral part of many facilities and processes. We have years of experience and hundreds of piping projects under our belts. We are experienced with everything from process piping, steam, chilled water, slurries and wash-down water systems that run for miles up and down conveyor belts. We can keep it simple; from single line schematic layouts to fully modeled pipes with seismic bracing and supports we meet the needs of your project.
Engineering and Design
We engineer systems that appropriately handle
the fluid you are transporting. Engineering
includes flow and pressure calculations, material
selection, pump sizing and selection, supports,
and inline equipment.
We start with a process flow diagram or a P&ID.
Our designs target proper fluid velocities by
minimize friction losses to lower energy
consumption and maximize the life of the system.
Our designs encompass equipment selection, tank
and pump design and any structural supports,
access platforms or foundations needed to deliver
a complete piping system. Pipe thickness, valve
selection, corrosion allowance, cleanouts, system
draining, and pipe stress are all factors that
influence the design and layout of a piping system.
It is important to us that we present our design
and drawings in a clear way to stake holders, so
installation, operation, maintenance and safety
needs are integrated into the design in a way that
exceeds expectations.
At Ingenium Design we take pleasure in raising the
bar.
Upgrades and Retrofits
We have many years of practical experience in the
field. We can retrofit or upgrade your existing
system to minimize process down time.
Let us take a look and see what improvements can
be made, including gathering input from the
maintenance and operations personnel. You know
your process better than anyone.
Your ideas and needs mixed with our collaborative
creativity produce ingenious solutions. We are
simply the best at making those ingenious solutions
a reality.

FINITE ELEMENT
ANALYSIS
Analysis and design software have made simple
what used to be impossible in a traditional design
office. We have fully embraced Finite Element
Analysis (FEA) in our everyday engineering work.
This gives us a much better understanding of how
a structure will perform, long before it is built. We
also excel in advanced finite element analysis,
which most offices don’t provide.
FEA Services
We offer the following finite element analysis
services:
❖ Welded plate hoppers, bins, and tanks ❖ Field modified structures ❖ Pressurized structures ❖ Fatigue analysis ❖ Vibration analysis ❖ Deflection prediction ❖ Thermal movement ❖ Traditional beam and column structures ❖ Concrete plate structures
We utilize finite element analysis on beam-column
structures, concrete foundations, vaults, tunnels,
welded plate structures, and on challenging
vibration or fatigue problems. This provides our
engineers with a deeper look and understanding of
potentially destructive load conditions and failure
modes. FEA simulations are the structural version
of rapid prototyping, reducing time and costs by
solving numerous iterations of a structure before
something is built.

Chutework and DEM
Our experts have years of experience modeling and analyzing transfer chutes and difficult materials. We utilize 3D modeling tools with years of hands-on experience to continue to improve chute design.
Chute Modifications
The images on the left show a problematic chute and the recommended modification. The proposed modification shows a more uniform loading, with the material more closely matching the speed of the receiving belt. The image below shows chute modifications on a chute to increase throughput without plugging.
Discrete Element Method
(DEM)
We use DEM to analyze and modify existing chutes
or design new ones. DEM allows us to better
understand how a bulk material will behave within
the chute. On existing chutes, we create a model
of the system and compare that with the current
performance to have a clear picture of the issues.
This secures our confidence of how the material
will behave in the proposed modifications. We
iterate through the design until we have chute
that will perform as desired.
Optimization of the chute takes into consideration
material loading, impact, plugging, chute and belt
wear as well as material degradation and dust
generation. Any one of these issues has the
potential to create significant problems with a
transfer chute.
Related Engineering
If you need more than just chutework, we offer these related engineering services:
➢ Process equipment integration
➢ Facility layout and design
➢ Conveyor belt design
➢ Dust collection and dust suppression
INGENIUMDESIGN.US
Chutework and DEM
We have designed chutes a large variety of mining
and power generation facilities including, wood
chips, coal, salt, potash, frac sand, metal ores,
gypsum, potash, silica sand, copper concentrate,
lime, urea, trona, soda ash, fertilizers and sticky
materials.
Chutework Design
We design all our chutes in 3D. This way we can
work through all of the complex geometry and
ensure proper flow angles as well as valley angles
within the chute. 3D modeling helps us
communicate with operators and maintenance
personnel how the chutes will look and be
maintained. We design round pipe chutes as well
as chutes with complex geometry with wear liners
or rock boxes. We also design chutes with DEM to
mitigate plugging issues and minimize dust
generation.
Each chute project has special considerations for
the material being handled as well as
maintenance, wear and safety. Let us help you
design the chute that provides the most value to
your operation.

Dust Collection
At Ingenium Design, we are all about the engineering, and producing excellent drawings. We find the simple solution, to save you time and money. Here is what we can do for your dust collection system.
New Dust Collection Systems
➢ Dust collection systems can be as simple as a
single collector serving one piece of equipment, or
an elaborate centralized system with many
connection points. In any case we can start you off
on the right path to guide you all the way to the
finish line. Here are some typical dust collection
systems we enjoy designing:
❖ Conveyor transfer points ❖ Equipment pickup points ❖ Rail/Truck dump facilities ❖ Crushers and vibrating screens ❖ Rotary dryers ❖ Custom hoods ❖ Dry baghouses ❖ Wet collectors ❖ Venturi scrubbers ❖ Custom ductwork and supports ❖ Exhaust stacks ❖ Dust suppression ❖ Dry fog
We can complete your system by also designing:
❖ Access platforms ❖ Booster pumps ❖ Effluent / sump pumps ❖ Duct support structures ❖ Exhaust stack supports/towers ❖ Process and effluent piping
Evaluations and Balancing
➢ Did your dust collection system work before
and now it is “out-of-whack”? We can help by
supplying the following services:
❖ System Evaluations ❖ System Balancing
Existing Systems
➢ Is your existing dust collection system “hacked
together” and causing you trouble? Do you just
need to add a few pickup points? We can evaluate
your system top to bottom and design the most
cost-effective solutions.
Too often dust collection systems have been
retrofit for added or removed equipment. This
changes the dynamics of the duct system causing
air velocities to be too high or too low in some
areas.
When velocities are too low, material can drop out
of the airstream and eventually buildup and create
plugging issues and nuisance cleaning of the ducts.
Re-handling this material drives up operating
costs.
When velocities are too high, abrasive materials
can wear holes in the ductwork. Excessive
velocities also require the fan to use more energy
than necessary to transport the captured dust.
You may not need a completely new dust collection
system. Sometimes replacing some of the duct
work with the correct size will do the trick. Let us
take a look and see how we can save you money.
