According to process equipment supplier CDE Asia, a new iron-ore washing plant installed for Monnet Ispat & Energy (MIEL) in Raigarh, India, has provided efficiency gains resulting from effective removal of unwanted fines and slimes.Before installation of the new plant, the primary problem facing MIEL was the variation in feed material that was sourced from a variety of mines; high fines content in the feed was particularly troublesome. MIEL invested in the plant after CDE Asia conducted extensive testing of the feed material to determine the actual quality improvements that could be achieved. Testing was conducted at CDE Asia's testing facilities.Following installation, the new washing plant reportedly removes all of the low-grade fines and slimes, resulting in a higher quality ore. This not only increases efficiency in the kilns but delivers a washed ore product that MIEL can sell to export markets at a premium price.
