Finland’s Outotec has agreed to design and deliver a new manganese plant for South Africa’s Kalagadi Manganese Pty Ltd. The plant will be built in Hotazel in South Africa’s Northern Cape Province in a contract worth EUR 119 million. The plant will be commissioned by March 2012.
Outotec is responsible for the delivery of the sinter plant on a turnkey basis including engineering, project management, supply of all equipment and structural steel, construction, commissioning as well as advisory services for civil works. The new plant will ultimately produce 2.4 million tonnes of sinter annually.
Kalagadi Manganese is 50-percent owned by ArcelorMittal, 40 per cent by Kalagadi Resources owns 40 percent with IDC owning the remaining 10 percent.
"Kalagadi's new plant will be one of the world's largest manganese sinter plants. This significant order once again demonstrates our ability to deliver total process solutions to customers - from the test work with raw materials to defining the optimal process and technology, plant engineering, as well as equipment supplies and services, not to mention taking full responsibility of the project and performance guarantees," said Outotec's President and CEO, Pertti Korhonen.
Earlier this month Outotec signed a EUR 116 million deal with Chile’s Codelco for the design and delivery of a copper concentrate roasting plant, gas cleaning system and sulfuric acid plant for its new Mina Ministro Hales mine near Calama, Northern Chile.
