Metso awarded beneficiation plant contract
Metso has secured a two-year life-cycle contract with Ideal Development for Manufacturing Industries (IDMI) for a new phosphate beneficiation plant at the Eshidiya phosphate mine in the south of Jordan.
Metso will support the commissioning, ramp up and optimisation of Eshidiya’s new beneficiation plant. Its contract with IDMI covers both maintenance and plant operations.
The latest agreement is a follow up to Metso’s previous equipment contract with IDMI – its first phosphate contract in the Middle East Region – signed in 2023. Metso previously supplied most of the critical equipment in the beneficiation flow sheet, including grinding, flotation, thickeners, filters and pumps, as well as Metso’s energy and water efficient UltraFine Series™ screens. These are the first ultra fine screens to be installed at a phosphate beneficiation plant, according to Metso.
