In addition, FLS will provide its advanced process control systems as well as supervision, start-up, and commissioning services.
“This award underscores the strength of our customer relationships and our ability to deliver high-capacity beneficiation solutions at scale. By combining energy-efficient grinding, advanced flotation technologies, filtered tailings technologies and digital process control, we support a reliable ramp-up while improving productivity and reducing environmental impact. This project is fully aligned with our MissionZero ambition to enable more sustainable mining operations”, comments Qasim Abrahams, Products Business Line President at FLS.
The order value, which was booked in the second quarter of 2026, totals approximately DKK 300 million, with project commissioning expected in 2027-2028.
