PROFILE Modular plants

PROFILE Modular plants promote efficiency Flexibility is a key advantage offered by modular processing plants, as company founder and Managing Director Mpho Mothoa explains. What is the main activity of Ingwenya Mineral Processing? Our core business is to design, build, operate and maintain mineral processing plants. Mpho Mothoa BIOGRAPHY Mpho Mothoa has 20 years of plant experience. He has a BTech and an MBA from the Tshwane University of Technology and diplomas from Wits and Unisa in mineral economics and management. Trained as a metallurgist at Kumba Resources, Mpho has also been a plant superintendent at Xstrata’s (now Glencore) Atcom colliery and worked in commissioning and operations at several processing plants, including Grootegeluk and Somkhele coal mines and the Kimberley mines of the De Beers Group. Why are modular processing plants popular in the coal industry today? Modular plants have become cost effective. They can be built in short lead times and can be easily relocated to another area once the coal is depleted or for any other reason. Modular plants are flexible, they can be designed to process small or large capacity of coal and different types of coal for different markets. Modular plants are also ideally suited to treat Witbank coal reserves which are generally widespread and situated in small pockets. How is Ingwenya Mineral Processing able to create modular plants in a cost-effective manner? At IMP we have our own in-house 4 000m2 engineering workshop (BOMAX) situated in Hendrina, where we fabricate our own steel structures and build easy-to-operate, tailor-made modular plants with very short lead times and cost effectively. Our designs have been simplified and made straightforward which reduces construction costs. Strategic partnership with some of the original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) also plays a role in terms of acquiring expertise in leading technology to ensure efficiency from the design phase. What are your main growth objectives? IMP’s business strategy for expansion is: • to add at least two new operations annually to our existing operations • to build two new modular plants annually • to work towards enlarging our footprint in other African countries like Botswana, where we have been doing some work. What consulting services do you offer? • Design and build of coal processing plants • Operate mineral processing plants • Feasibility and due-diligence studies • Engineering design and fabrication • Maintenance of processing plants • Trouble-shooting and general metallurgical consulting • Engineering consulting.
