ABx appoints Clough to design and construct its first Alcore production plant
Australian Bauxite Limited (ABx) has reportedly appointed Clough for the design and construction of its first Alcore production plant in New South Wales.
After six months of test work, Alcore has now decided to construct the first commercial plant where byproducts from aluminium smelters will be converted into aluminium fluoride. This aluminium fluoride can then be again sold back to the smelters as an essential electrolyte for smelting.
On bagging the contract, Peter Bennett, CEO and Managing Director of Clough said: "Clough is a pioneering engineering and construction company, and our expertise with technology readiness, front-end engineering and EPC delivery will ensure a smooth transition for Alcore from the lab research stage to their first commercial plant."
Alcore COO Phillip Hall said, "Clough is an ideal partner for Alcore. Clough is well known for its commitment to safety and sustainability, while optimizing productivity and costs at every phase of a project."
