Written by Global Gypsum staff
19 December 2017

Belarus: Knauf Gips plans to invest around Euro70m in a gypsum wallboard plant at Gatovo near Minsk. The decision follows the announcement that Knauf has acquired a 50% share in the charter capital of Volma’s operations in Belarus, according to the Belarusian Telegraph Agency. Knauf arranged to become a joint-owner of Belgips with Russia’s Volma in early 2017

Construction of Belgips’ new plant started in late 2015. Once completed the unit plans to produce 30Mm2/yr of gypsum wallboard, 0.5m2/yr of gypsum partition blocks and 0.1Mt/yr of dry building mixtures. Products made at the plant will be used domestically and for export.

Clean TeQ to use DeSALx process at mine water treatment plant in Australia

Written by Global Gypsum staff
14 December 2017

Australia: Clean TeQ plans to build a 2Ml/day DeSALx mine water treatment plant for Fosterville Gold Mine for its mine near Bendigo in Victoria. The US$2.7m unit will use an integrated precipitation and continuous ionic filtration process (DeSALx) that will produce a gypsum-based by-product. This by-product will be compatible with Fosterville’s existing lime treatment plant. Equipment supply, installation and commissioning of the water treatment plant are scheduled for 2018.

The precipitation process removes arsenic and antimony from the mine water as a co-precipitate. The water is then treated by the DeSALx process to remove hardness, sulphate and other dissolved metals. Clean TeQ is also in talks with other mining companies to test its continuous ion-exchange systems for the treatment of process water treatment for recycling or environmental discharge.

Peru: Volcan Peru and Eternit hold more than 90% of the gypsum wallboard market. Jaime Coronel Zegarra, a product manager for Eternit, said that since opening plants in 2013 and 2015 local production has driven off imports,
according to the El Comercio newspaper. He added that per capita consumption of wallboard rose to 0.39m2 in 2017 from 0.20m2 in 2010. Coronel Zegarra expects the market to grow by 8 – 9% in coming years.
