Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--PT Aneka Tambang (ANTM:JK) (ANTAM) (Jakarta, Indonesia), Indonesia's state-owned miner, has started commissioning on Indonesia's first chemical-grade alumina plant, Tayan CGA, in Tayan, West Kalimantan.
The commissioning is three months ahead of the schedule and will begin at the complex's Bayer Plant. Local government officials and ANTAM directors were present for the commissioning ceremony, including Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Jero Wacik, Minister of State-owned Enterprises Dahlan Iskan, and ANTAM President Tato Miraza.
"The commissioning of the Tayan CGA plant reflects ANTAM's commitment to deliver added-value projects to our stakeholders," Miraza said. "The commencement of the plant signifies the awakening and independence of the Indonesia mining and mineral processing industry in moving toward downstream, added-value industries."
Final commissioning is conducted by a consortium of PT Wijaya Karya (Persero) Tbk (WIKA:JK) (Jakarta), Tsukishima Kikai Company Limited (6332:JP) (Tokyo, Japan) and PT Nusantara Energi Abadi (Jakarta). The Tayan CGA project, which began on April 11, 2011, is owned by PT Indonesia Chemical Alumina (Tayan, Indonesia), a joint venture of ANTAM (80%) and Showa Denko KK (20%) (Tokyo) (4004:JP).
The project is expected to initially produce 128,000 tons, then ramp up to 300,000 tons of CGA per year by 2014. Showa Denko will take 200,000 tons per year for 10 years, according to the two company's off-take agreement signed in August 2011, and the rest will be absorbed by domestic and foreign buyers other than Japan.
Funding for the Tayan CGA project derives from internal funds from ANTAM and Showa Denko and loans from the Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC) (Tokyo), as well as a debt guarantee provided by Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation (JOGMEC) (Tokyo).
In addition to the Tayan CGA Project, ANTAM is expanding its ferronickel plant in Pomalaa, in southeast Sulawesi. The expansion project, which is being developed gradually in eight packages, has an investment value of $500 million. The Pomalaa project had reached about 50% of EPC as of July. ANTAM is expecting to fully commence all operations in the second quarter of 2015.
ANTAM is developing another ferronickel project in East Halmahera, North Maluku. The project, which will entail the construction of power plants, requires $1.6 billion in investment. Plant construction and infrastructure development will kick off later this year. The East Halmahera ferronickel plant will have a production capacity of 27,000 tons of nickel per year and is scheduled to become operational by 2015.
Two of ANTAM's projects are still under an internal review for a feasibility study. The $1.5 billion Mempawah Smelter Grade Alumina (SGA) Project has a designed production capacity of 1.2 million tons of SGA, and it is estimated to be commission in 2017. The $600 million Mandiodo Nickel Pig Iron (NPI) Project is estimated to be commissioned in 2018 and will produce 24,000 tons of nickel-pig iron per year; development of stainless steel facilities will be included in the future.
While smelter-grade alumina is widely used for aluminum metal production, chemical grade alumina produced by PT Indonesia Chemical Alumina will be applied over a large range of production for functional materials and electronic materials, such as IC packaging, LCD glass refractory, and building materials.
The Tayan CGA plant is expected to employ 500 people and will create employment opportunities both directly and indirectly for the surrounding communities.
