Global mining, technology and equipment supplier Tenova Mining and Minerals’ local empowerment arm Bateman Africa has been awarded a contract by energy group Sasol to conduct the front-end engineering and design (Feed) for additional water demineralisation trains in Sasolburg.
The proposed project would add one-third of the currently installed capacity to the existing demineralisation plant, which was built between 1997 and 2001, and had a nominal production capacity of 1 250 m3/h and an installed capacity of 1 500 m3/h.
The plant produced both low-conductivity boiler feed water and ultrapure demineralised water.
Bateman said in a statement on Monday that expansion work was currently under way and was expected to be completed in May
