The list of items to be done before full commissioning of Quebec-based clean-tech firm Orbite Technologies’ new commercial-scale high-purity alumina (HPA) plant can stat has become short and straightforward, chief executive Glenn Kelly said on Thursday, after the company managed to resolve a supplier issue that had held progress back at the project.
A dispute with one of its suppliers resulted in a delay in equipment delivery and installation, however, the company advised that after settling the dispute, the withheld parts were delivered and work on installing the calcination system restarted early in January.
