-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.
