AN INSPIRATION: The New Boliden Odda Zinc Smelting Plant
IMP will partner to build a co-located Lead Smelting & Purification Plant and Zinc Smelting & Purification Plant at Modern Cikande Industrial Estate, Banten, one hour drive time from central Jakarta, Indonesia. Based on an extensive Detailed Feasibility Study, IMP has determined the following co-located Lead and Zinc Smelting & Purification Plant specifications:
SPECIFICATIONS
Input Capacity Lead Concentrate: 63,000 metric tons per year
Input Capacity Zinc Concentrate: 105,000 metric tons per year
Output Capacity Lead Ingot: Up to 36,000 metric tons per year
Output Capacity Zinc Ingot: Up to 53,500 metric tons per year
Land requirement: 12 hectares
Electricity requirement: 40 MW - to be provided by PLN (Indonesia's national electrical provider)
Build Time: Cold Commissioning June 2022, Hot
Commissioning July 2022, the Date of achievement of Commercial Operation (COD) by August 1, 2022
EPC SELECTION
IMP has selected a proposal from Metallurgical Corporation of China (MCC) to build the plants, whom have provided the following basic design concept. In Q2 2020, IMP expects to contract with MCC to do a Front End Engineering Plan so that a more specific plan for review will be completed. This plan will then be reviewed by an independent engineering firm specializing in Zinc and Lead smelting and purification in Q3 2020. When the analysis is complete at the end of Q3, the EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) Agreement will be signed, the land will begin to be purchased with 12 equal payments, and the NTP (Notice to Proceed) will be delivered to MCC to commence Detailed Engineering and Construction on a 22 month schedule of completion by July 2022. See Operations Planning for more details.
