... "“Orbite’s unique patented technology has reached another milestone”, said Denis Primeau, Orbite’s Chief Engineer. “The final design of the SGA plant is now set and brings us one step closer to construction. As anticipated, the integration of previously separate subsystems, as part of the optimization process, and the inclusion of innovations from the chemical industry yielded important synergies. The key drivers were substantial reductions in the quantity of water and energy consumption, both critical factors for chemical processes and improves our environmental footprint. By utilizing circulating fluid beds, our proprietary calcination technique will differ completely from the rest of the alumina industry and will enable our plants to meet and exceed the industry standard for smelter grade alumina. Our ability to innovate technologically while improving the economics of our process through the integration of best practices from the chemical industry has been truly remarkable.”

“For M&K, it is obvious that the Orbite process, which we are tasked with integrating as part of the Feasibility Study, has not only been demonstrated using commercially available equipment but also represents the first viable alternative to the Bayer process for the production of smelter grade alumina”, added Stanley Myer, M&K’s co-founder. “The final design of the SGA plant was established by M&K with Orbite’s engineering team and we have validated the improvements cited today. Since it was established, M&K has always been involved in major chemical process projects such as that of Orbite’s. As such, all of the equipment, products and by-products under consideration by Orbite are within the realm and expertise of our company.”" ...
