Typical projects include API 650 approved tanks, conveyors, chutes, hoppers, bins, fan housings, platforms, clarifiers, thickeners, thickener mechanisms, turn key gravity plants and complete process control systems. KEM is also a Canadian Welding Bureau (CWB) and ASME Section IX certified custom fabricator of both carbon and stainless steel.

Below is a brief portfolio of KEM's projects.

	Cascade Mixing Tank Working closely with our client, a mechanical contractor, we engineered a floor and lower shell replacement. By doing the majority of the fitting and welding in the shop, the contractor was able to minimize the shutdown of the Alberta pulp mill's mixing tank.			Outokumpu TC30 KEM does work as an OEM for a number clients. Pictured here is a truckload of flotation cells destined for the Kensington Gold project in Alaska. KEM fabricated six of these units and six smaller units within a very tight schedule to meet the delivery requirements for the client.
	Westmark Shaft Knelson senior fabricators use a unique in-house procedure to repair a chronically failing drive shaft. After multiple failed attempts by several other shops, Knelson was contracted to engineer a lasting solution. The repair strategy included cutting the shaft into two pieces, machining weld preparations and welding a controlled pre and post heating. Continuous cleaning of the weld slag allowed the welder to apply multiple passes without stopping, further enhancing temperature control and weld strength. The shaft has been in service, crack free for two years as of November 2007.			Celgar Tank  This thickener / clarifier was manufactured in 316 stainless steel as part of an environmental treatment system for an oil refinery. As part of the overall scope, KEM was also responsible for the API 650 design for the vessel.
	Fan Housing This assembly is part of a fan housing for a pulp mill located in British Columbia, Canada			Cyclone Package This project was for a Russian company where KEM provided the services of fabrication. Additional units have been produced in a range of different sizes.
	Linatex Rubber Lining These concentrators are lined with Linatex rubber for durable protection against extreme abrasive conditions in Africa.			Feed Distributor Multiple unit concentrator or operational machinery installations often employ a central feed distributor to evenly distribute the feed / slurry.
	Concentrators These concentrators were engineered and manufactured with the highest quality standards.
