Sedgman undertook the detailed design of this 4,000 t/h process plant, one of the world’s largest single-building, four-module CPP. It will process up to 26 Mt/a of raw coal and maximise recovery of coking coal from separate mining areas in Mozambique’s Tete Province. Sedgman successfully delivered detailed design for the plant with construction featuring ‘on-ground’ erection of large sections to be lifted into place to allow a greater degree of safety. As well as being the largest plant in the southern hemisphere, the Moatize CPP design sets the benchmark world-wide for high capacity coal processing. The key driver is maximising coking coal recovery. The CPP includes:

• Four by 1,000 t/h modules each containing two stages of dense medium cyclones (DMC),
• spirals and Microcel flotation cells
• Proven equipment which is simple to operate and maintain to cater for the remote location
• A centralised control room and electrical switchroom adjacent to the CPP
