FLSmidth to deliver flash drying system

FLSmidth has received an order worth approximately US$ 90 million from the Moroccan company, OCP Office Chérifien des Phosphates, to supply equipment and technology for a phosphate terminal in Jorf Lasfar, some 120 km south of Casablanca/Morocco. The current order includes delivery of a complete flash drying system for drying dewatered phosphate ore. With a capacity of 31 000 t/d it will be the largest phosphate flash drying system in the world. The scope of supply also includes combustion systems, pelletizing, an air pollution control system including a limestone based flue gas desulphurisation system and a complete control package. Already last year FLSmidth was awarded a large material handling order from the company. The order will contribute beneficially to FLSmidth’s earnings until 2013.
