Advanced Processing Technology
Transforming nickel ore into battery-grade materials with MPAL technology
MPAL (Modular Pressure Acid Leaching) Technology
Our proprietary MPAL process represents a breakthrough in nickel processing, offering superior efficiency and environmental performance compared to traditional HPAL (High Pressure Acid Leaching) methods.
Ore Preparation
Crushing and grinding of nickel laterite ore to optimal particle size for efficient leaching
High Pressure Leaching
Controlled acid leaching at high pressure (40 bar) and temperature (250°C)
Solid-Liquid Separation
Advanced filtration to separate nickel-rich solution from residual solids
Purification
Removal of impurities through precipitation and ion exchange processes
Product Recovery
Production of Mixed Hydroxide Precipitate (MHP) or Nickel Sulfate
Technology Advantages
Proven Technology, Modified
Based on well-established hydrometallurgical processes, optimized for Indonesian laterite ores
Lower Capital Expenditure
Medium pressure equipment is significantly less expensive than high-pressure alternatives
Reduced Operating Costs
Lower energy consumption and maintenance requirements translate to competitive operating costs
