Tiwest Pty Ltd operates the Chandala synthetic rutile (“SR”) plant near Muchea in Western Australia. The plant processes ilmenite from Tiwest’s mining operations at Cooljarloo, near Cataby in WA. Tiwest has recently identified a market opportunity for increased SR production and wishes to modify the existing process plant to achieve this goal.
Tiwest has engaged engineering consultants Sargon Engineering and Promet to produce a Conceptual Study to review the process options required to deliver the additional plant capacity. It is Tiwest’s intent to rapidly progress from the Conceptual Study into a Definitive Feasibility Study (“DFS”), consequently a preferred process option and scope of work for the DFS must be developed at the completion of the Conceptual Study.
Sargon Engineering Pty Ltd and ProMet Engineers have past experience of SR processes including the study of expansion options and will work together to deliver a Conceptual Study of the SR Expansion Project for Tiwest.
