Gross Gold Project – 10t Modular Elution and Gold Room Plant

Como Engineers was engaged by Nordgold for the detailed engineering design and construction of the elution, carbon regeneration, goldroom and carbon recovery systems for the Gross Gold project. Gross is located in Siberia, Russia, in the Yakutiya region, where temperatures can fall to -55°C. Como Engineers was responsible for the supply of the proprietary designed modular pre-fabricated and pre-commissioned plant with 10 tonne capacity elution and acid wash columns, its ESF series stainless steel range of electrowinning cells, quench tank pressure vessels, a 500kg/hr Carbon regeneration kiln and all required ancillary accessories. Subsequently, Nordgold purchased additional electrowinning cells and, through continuous operation, has increased the capacity of the plant to process up to 20 tonne per day. Nordgold had previously purchased individual gold room equipment from Como Engineers for the Lefa Gold Plant in Guinea; this is the first complete modular plant Nordgold has purchased.
