Product Sampling Aukam staff will install the remaining equipment over the coming weeks, bringing the plant into its commissioning phase. The team will then begin testing and calibrating the new equipment to optimize its operations. Product sampling will be conducted in order to set processing parameters to conform to industry standard, quality control and quality assurance requirements. Graphite that is processed through the plant during this calibration phase will be cumulatively bagged and graded as part of the fulfilment for current purchase agreements and future sales.
