RE:what does this mean?
RE:what does this mean?As Kelly says they have been running tests on the " front end" of the HPA2 process and now have a stock of quality ( he did not say exactly what % ) product which goes into the final calcination step. Once calcined it will be distributed to 30 firms that have already expressed an interest in the final product. They will be samples only and will serve to familiarize the possible clients with the future product. The Harper calciner ( rotating oven ) will be modified to do the job. This work has no relation whatsoever with the Outotec calciner/bricks/mortar/castable.
What I find interesting is that Kelly is driving forward on more than one front and that some value may be gained by the use of the Harper oven without much investment. The reuse of that oven has been mentioned in the past so it isn't a surprise. Perhaps the settlement of the litige with Harper rendered this possible at this time. We must remember that the "problem" with the Harper unit was mechanical and the process was never in question. Here will be another proof of that !
