    The document provides an overview of the scope for designing a wet gas cleaning plant (WGCP) for a new smelter project in South Africa. It includes sizing of the primary and secondary off-gas streams from the smelting furnaces and converters. The scope of work involves confirming that a single WGCP train can handle the full gas volumes, providing a budget quote for the technology, engineering costs for design and fabrication, and support for commissioning. A timeline is required to deliver a capital expenditure report by the end of June 2023.

    Equipment Sizing
    • Confirm that the WGCP can be designed as a single gas train
    capable of handling the full design volume of EF and
    converter off gas as well as any fluctuations in operating
    conditions.
    • Lowest overall CAPEX
    • Ease of maintenance and operation
    • Be energy efficient.

    Copyright © Hatch 2023. All Rights Reserved.


    Scope of work
    • Budget quote for technology (equipment sizing)
    • Engineering costs associated with the design and fabrication
    • Costs associated to on-site support, commissioning and
    training of operators
    • Consumption rates for major utilities.

    Copyright © Hatch 2023. All Rights Reserved.


    Timeline Requirements
    • Hatch is required to provide a CAPEX report (inclusive of the
    WGCP budget quote) to the client by end of June 2023.
