Initial Plants
|
This 15,000 tpa Sodium Cyanide plant is a replication of an existing unit which was also engineered by Shedden Uhde and built on the same site in 1989. Designed as a stand-alone unit, the new facility has one reactor with space allocated for further expansion.
Sodium cyanide is one of the major chemicals used in gold extraction. Reacting natural gas, air, ammonia and caustic soda produces the 30 per cent sodium cyanide solution and the facility includes a waste gas incinerator that generates steam to drive a 5 Megawatt turbine generator.

Solids Plant
|
This 10,000 tpa Sodium Cyanide Solids plant was designed to convert liquid sodium cyanide from the two Shedden Uhde designed liquid sodium cyanide plants to solid form for distribution to remote consumers
