BATEMAN awarded NORAM's sulphuric-acid technology license

Bateman Engineering N.V. (BATEMAN) has been granted a license by Noram Engineering and Constructors (NORAM of Vancouver, Canada), making it the exclusive licensee for NORAM's sulphuric-acid plant technologies in the sub-Saharan area.

As a result of this agreement, BATEMAN will undertake projects on sulphuric-acid facilities across the entire spectrum, from plant audits to feasibility studies, design, procurement, construction and commissioning of complete new plants, and upgrading facilities. In these projects BATEMAN will be able to retrofit individual pieces of equipment into existing plants. Plant capacities can range from as little as 100 t/day of sulphuric acid to the largest practical capacities. Plant-emission levels can meet client requirements or be designed to meet the most stringent international environmental legislation and best practice.

NORAM is a world leader in the supply of sulphuric-acid technology with emphasis on the de-bottlenecking and upgrading of existing sulphuric-acid facilities. NORAM also has a number of patented and trademarked equipment designs which sets it apart from other international players. Founded in 1988, this privately-owned, Vancouver-based company offers leading-edge technologies to the chemical, pulp and paper, minerals-processing, environmental and electrochemical sectors.

The key process and technological advantages offered by NORAM include:

Proprietary and proven technology, including NORAM's advanced gas / gas heat exchangers, seeing service in over 80 installations worldwide
Patented and compact design features that produce smaller plot plans and improved capital cost
Equipment designed for reduced operating costs and improved safety
State-of-the-art engineering design tools and proprietary software, including static and dynamic modelling of plants.

This technology complements and extends BATEMAN's capability to serve the minerals- and metals-processing industry where sulphuric-acid plants are required as part of a minerals-processing complex or fertiliser plant, or to produce sulphuric acid as a by-product to augment revenue.

According to the agreement, NORAM will provide the technology and proprietary equipment based on its proven North American and European track record. BATEMAN will contribute its project-execution experience, drawing on its 85-year track record which includes over 1,000 projects in more than 50 countries since 1980. On the African continent, BATEMAN has worked in nearly 19 countries.
