10 TPD Did the co. ever state in the past the capacity in tonnes per hour? Something tells me the originial 10 TPD assumed an 8 or 10 hour day, not 16 hrs. With last minute design modifications and costs they may have concluded the capacity is not as great as originally planned and are making up the difference with more hours of operation in a day. How does this affect margins?
Co. originally planned 6 days a week operation, now it's 5 days. Are they cramming more hours in a day so that there is more down time for preventative maintenance? With 5 days a week operation why the hell does plant have only "80 mechanical availability"?
