The plant produces treated water that meets design criteria. Continuous operations will commence when the mine’s water use license amendments are approved.
This is a design-supply-operate project where BioteQ has provided an integrated package of services including process design, plant equipment and installation, commissioning services, and ongoing fee-based water treatment operations at the site for the next three operating seasons.
The design-supply-operate structure of the project has expedited the project execution, reduced implementation costs, and reduced project risk. As the operator of the plant, BioteQ provides a process guarantee that the plant performs to the design specifications.
For 2010, BioteQ’s aim is to add two new plants to its operations portfolio. The Minto plant is the first of the two new plants; the second new plant is expected to be in China, subject to final review and approval of the design report, which is in progress.
