Latest Developments
Sedex Desalination has commissioned consulting and engineering services provider Royal HaskoningDHV to undertake a feasibility study to establish the viability of implementing a desalination scheme at the Zandkopsdrift rare earths project.
The feasibility study will be carried out from March to December for an undisclosed amount. It will determine the configuration, size, phasing and lowest possible life-cycle cost of the project, with as little impact as possible on the physical and social environments surrounding the proposed scheme as possible.
Key aspects of the project include marine works, which will comprise the sea intake and outfall works; a desalination plant; bulk water-supply infrastructure; bulk power-supply infrastructure; road access to the desalination plant; a transfer pipeline; and power lines.
