Sevier Playa SOP Crystal Peak Minerals
Located in Millard County Utah, USA, the Sevier Playa Potash Project aims for the production of 300,000 metric tonnes of Sulfate of Potash (SOP) per year utilizing the salt-rich brine of the Sevier Lake Playa. By digging trenches, ground brine is extracted from the Playa and sent to evaporation and harvest ponds, where crude potassium sulfate salts are deposited. The salts are later harvested and sent to the Processing Plant for refining and the production of SOP.
Upon completion of the Feasibility Study, NOVOPRO has been mandated to a leading role in the Front End Engineering Design (FEED) take including all process testwork, completing the Playa constructability and geotechnical programs, as well as completing the Basic Engineering for the Playa, Product Rail Loadout, and Processing plant.
Dead Sea Operation Arab Potash Corporation
The Arab Potash Company (APC) Plant located at Safi, 130 km south of Amman, features Solar Evaporation pond systems at the south of the Dead Sea, with the area of the Ponds totaling 111.5 km2. APC currently produces potash (KCl) from the three Plants with a total capacity of 2.25 million tonne per year.
NOVOPRO was mandated by APC to evaluate the present design, operations and performance, and provide recommendations to improve all aspects of the evaporations ponds.
As a result, NOVOPRO developed a comprehensive Pond Model to validate the present data of the APC system. The Pond Model serves as an instrument for operational predictions, simulating the outcomes from pond modifications as well as identifying areas where improvements can be made in the system.
NOVOPRO’s extensive work on the evaporative pond design targeted evaporation rate analysis, leakage rate analysis and key cut-off concentration optimizations .
Kanga Potash Sarmin Minerals Exploration Inc.
Located in the Republic of Congo near the port of Pointe-Noire, the Kanga Potash Project utilizes solution mining technology with a crystallization and compaction plant to produce Muriate of Potash (MOP). The production plant capacity is campaigned into 3 phases to ultimately produce 2,400,000 metric tonnes per year:
- Phase I: 400,000 metric tonnes per year
- Phase II: 800,000 metric tonnes per year
- Phase III: 2,400,000 metric tonnes per year
NOVOPRO’s involvement included management of and technical support for the exploration drilling campaign, evaluation of the quality of the Resource as well as the completion of the Prefeasibility Study.
Upon completion of the Pre-Feasibility Study, NOVOPRO has been mandated to play a lead role in the Feasibility Study.
