GEA supplies key technology for Lithium processing in Australia
Düsseldorf (Germany), December 5, 2016 - GEA has received a larger order
from MSP Engineering Pty Ltd, to equip a new, ultra-modern facility for
Tianqi Lithium Australia Pty Ltd for the production and processing of
lithium. In detail, GEA will supply and install evaporation,
crystallization and drying technology for the plant in Kwinana, 38 km south
of Perth, Western Australia. The installation is planned for 2017.
The Tianqi Lithium Corporation, which controls a majority stake in the
Talison Greenbushes mine, the world's premier producer of lithium
concentrate from spodumene, is building a downstream processing plant for
lithium hydroxide. The plant will convert around 161,000 tonnes per year of
spodumene concentrate into 24,000 tonnes of lithium hydroxide, for use in
the growing global market for lithium ion batteries.
After completing extensive and successful test work at GEA facilities in
Europe the scope includes engineering design, fabrication, testing and
commissioning of the key process equipment to produce a pure lithium
hydroxide monohydrate (LiOH.H2O), including packaging, with as byproduct a
dried sodium sulphate.
"In the area of lithium processing, GEA has extensive experience in the
realization of such systems for which we offer a very large technology
portfolio covering the entire production chain of lithium production. In
addition to the components ordered here, this also includes the spray
drying area of lithium, where GEA has a very large market share worldwide,"
said Niels Erik Olsen, Member of GEA's Management Board and responsible for
Business Area Solutions.
