January 5, 2015 - During the
national teleconference “New industrialization of Kazakhstan: results of
2014 and the first five-year plan” on 25 December, President Nursultan
Nazarbyaev has spoken about the industrialization program and launched a
plant for the production of sulfuric acid, Tengrinews reports
citing BNews.kz.“I congratulate the enterprises on the beginning of their
activities," said Nazarbayev paying special attention to the factory for the
production of ceramic bricks, which was launched earlier the same year and
had produced more than 170 mln bricks."Building materials are very
important. They will be used in our country. You see the housing program we
are launching is big. So we need to expand production,” Nursultan Nazarbayev
said. After that, the head of state unveiled the plant for production of
sulfuric acid in Stepnogorsk town. "It is a very important moment for
Stepnogorsk mining and processing plant that has survived the hard times.
Congratulations to your staff, families and your region on these good
developments. I wish you success and good health. Happy New Year," Nursultan
Nazarbayev said when launching the plant. The cost of this project was
12,230 mln tenge ($67mln). As the director of Sulfuric Acid Plant
Kazatomprom Yerlan Mami said, the new plant used advanced energy saving
technologies. "As a result of the launch of the sulfuric acid
production, for the first time in Kazakhstan production will be switched
from iron sulfide to Kazakhstan's raw materials - lump sulfur
(Tengizchevroil), and will meet the needs of Kazatomprom (Kazakh
nuclear giant) for sulfuric acid," Mami said. Implementation of the
project will help solve the problem of processing the sulfur that comes as a
side product in Tengizchevroil's oil operations that has a negative impact
on the ecological situation in the Caspian region. Moreover, the new plant
will contribute to the development of the chemical industry in northern
Kazakhstan. The start of production is planned for the second quarter
of 2015. November 15, 2011 - Commercial Director Almaz Gimadov will join an audience of the event. Building of Stepnogorsk Mining and Chemical Industrial Complex has been begun in 1955, in the modern organizational form works since 2004. The industrial complexes of the mining and processing enterprises are in trust management of National Atomic Company Kazatomprom. Work of basic manufacture of SGKhK is provided with a number of divisions and affiliated structures. The enterprises Shantobe Energo and Agro-Chance function on the basis of deposits Vostok and Zvezdnoe on which extraction of uranium-molybdene and uranium ores is conducted. On capacities of hydrometallurgical factory Kyzyltu (designed capacity is 1 million tones ores a year) is processed ore of stepnogorsk deposits. The hydrometallurgical factory of Stepnogorsk Gas and Chemical Complex are engaged in processing of uranium-containing ore and concentrates of natural uranium of the enterprises entering into Kazatompromstructure, capacity is 4 thousand tones of uranium lower-oxide a year. Sulphuric factory has been started in 2006, together with the Italian partners work on designing and installation of new sulphuric factory by productivity of 180 thousand tones a year is conducted. Sulfuric acid is the major raw resource for underground desalination of uranium deposits. |
