Bulk air cooling system close to completion on Tanzanian Mine

摘要

BBE Projects is on track for the July 2010 commissioning of a new 7 MW bulk air cooler and two ammonia surface refrigeration machines, at African Barrick Gold's Bulyanhulu Mine in north-west Tanzania, to counter the increased heat load arising from the mine's expansion and deepening. This turnkey project represents Phase 1 of a proposed 14 MW system and is believed to be the first bulk air cooling system to be installed on a Tanzanian mine. It is BBE's third major cooling project in Africa (outside of South Africa), the first two being commissioned at AngloGold Ashanti's Obusai Mine in Ghana in 2005 and 2007.
