Chrome Wash Plant, Groenkloof. Mooinooi.
Reg: 2018/086550/07
Size: Variable, from large rocks (e.g., 300mm+) down to fines. Requires primary crushing.
○ Grade: Lower than desired for direct sale (e.g., 25-40% Cr2O3).
○ Impurities: Contains various gangue minerals (e.g., serpentine, talc, chlorite, quartz, feldspar), and potentially other base metal sulphides or oxides depending on the geology.
○ Moisture Content: Varies depending on mining method and weather.
● Type: Chrome concentrate (lumpy, chip, or fine depending on market requirements and beneficiation process).
● Typical Characteristics:
○ Size: Tailored to customer specifications (e.g., +6mm lumpy, -6mm+1mm chip, -1mm fines).
○ Grade: Significantly upgraded (e.g., 42-50% Cr2O3), meeting market specifications.
● Water: Significant water demand for washing and separation. Requires reliable source (boreholes, river abstraction, recycling) and efficient water recovery systems.
● Power: High electricity consumption for motors, pumps, and crushers. Often connected to the national grid, sometimes with backup generators.
● Access Roads: For transport of ROM ore, reagents, and concentrate.
● Labor: Skilled operators, maintenance staff, and management.
● Workshops & Stores: For maintenance and spare parts.
● Water Management: Minimizing fresh water consumption, maximizing recycling, and ensuring discharge quality (if applicable) meets regulatory standards.
● Tailings Management: Secure and stable tailings storage facilities (TSF) to prevent pollution and ensure long-term stability. Monitoring of seepage.
● Dust Control: Suppression systems at crushing, screening, and transfer points.
● Noise Control: Management of noise levels, especially from crushing and screening operations.
● Rehabilitation: Progressive and final rehabilitation of disturbed land.
● Waste Management: Proper disposal of general waste and hazardous waste.
● Strict adherence to national mining and occupational health and safety regulations.
● Focus on safe work procedures for crushing, conveying, working at heights, confined
spaces, and moving machinery.
● Dust monitoring and mitigation for airborne particulates.
● Emergency response plans.
● Capital Expenditure (CAPEX): High initial investment for plant construction and equipment.
● Operating Expenditure (OPEX): Significant costs for power, water, reagents (e.g., ferrosilicon), labor, maintenance, and transportation.
● Revenue: Driven by chrome concentrate price (influenced by global demand, stainless steel production, supply-demand balance), grade, and recovery.
● Logistics: Efficient transport routes and costs for delivering concentrate to market (e.g., rail to port for export, road to smelters).
● Primary Customers: Ferrochrome producers (for stainless steel manufacturing), chemical industries, refractory industries, foundries.
● Pricing: Global commodity market prices, often influenced by supply from major producers (South Africa, Kazakhstan, Turkey, India) and demand from China, Europe, and India.
