ENVIRONMENT

Metix manages hazards and risks to the environment from the start
of every venture to the final handover and performance test.

-These stages include:

Pre-feasibility and feasibility phases
Technical support for Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and Management Program (EMPR)

- Construction audits

- Handover and performance test
Ensure that equipment perform to design specifications during commissioning and performance test, when the plant is producing at full capacity

 
- Detail design focus on:
  • Use of CO rich gas from furnace operation as a fuel, instead of:
    - Burning excess furnace gas to atmosphere, or
    - Using alternative fuels which deplete natural resources.
  • Using proven imported technologies for dust extraction and gas cleaning,
  • Recycling scrubber slurries through effluent treatment plants and belt filters back into process,
  • Recycling all water,
  • Optimising water make-up due to dry cooling,
  • Recycling existing baghouse dust dumps to the smelting process,
  • Pre-treat ores to improved energy efficiency, and Increase alloy recovery in the down-stream smelting process.
