FYI Resources completes trial production of HPA at its Welshpool pilot plant

FYI Resources Limited, an Australian Listed resources company, reportedly announced this week that it completed the trial production of high-purity alumina (HPA) at its pilot plant in Welshpool, Western Australia. This marks significant progress in FYI’s high-purity alumina development strategy.

As per the report, the plant operated continuously from October 2 to October 9, meeting or exceeding the firm’s modelled operational performances.

“We are really happy with the outcomes of our trial production run from our purpose-built HPA pilot plant,” said FYI managing director Roland Hill in a statement.

He also said, “We continue to systematically progress the development of our HPA strategy towards the goal of commercial production of this ultra-pure, in demand product. To do that we needed not only to demonstrate our ability to produce an outstanding product, but also prove long©\term ability, consistency and capacity to supply HPA to the many interested offtake partners.”

According to FYI, the completion of successful trial this week is a proof of concept for the company’s unique flowsheet and that the test utilized the best scale-up practices that accurately replicate commercial production. The successful trial production also gives FYI a complete metallurgical assessment of the product behaviour and characteristics.

Hill said, “The pilot plant results go a long way in validating this objective with the purpose of supplying, what market forecasters such as CRU point to, as an eight-fold increase in demand.”

“Through completing the pilot plant trial, we have identified we can further optimise our process, which we expect to have benefit capital and operating cost in the DFS,” Hill said further.
