Manub (Block 15) Gold Project – 2t and 4t Modular Pressure Zadra Elution Plants

Como Engineers completed two projects for Managem in Sudan: the supply of a 2.0 tonne Pressure Zadra Stripping System, followed by the supply of a 4.0 tonne Modular Pressure Zadra Elution System.

2.0 tonne Pressure Zadra Stripping System: Como Engineers was engaged to supply a 2.0 tonne manually operated Pressure Zadra Stripping System with integral goldroom. Based on Como Engineers’ existing modular elution assemblies, the system was constructed in Perth and pre-tested with a hot temperature run under the supervision of its design engineers, prior to being dismantled, containerised and shipped to the project in Sudan. Commissioning was undertaken on site in Sudan by one of Como Engineers’ metallurgical engineers.

4.0 tonne Modular Pressure Zadra Elution System: Como Engineers was subsequently engaged to supply a 4.0 tonne Modular PLC automated Pressure Zadra Elution System with containerised goldroom, including a Carbon Regeneration Structure to suit a 250kg/h Kiln supplied by its long term partner Custom Furnaces. The plant was fully constructed, assembled and hot run tested in Perth prior to disassembly and shipping to site in 9 x 40 foot sea containers, and included a 1000kW Direct Eluate Heating system with full PLC control of all elution and electrowinning process steps. The system was manufactured to Como Engineers’ latest design and included new enhancements for improved operability.

Como Engineers continues to work with Managem on the development of their other gold operations.
