White Energy and Peabody Energy Enter Into Clean Coal Development …
PR Newswire (press release)
“Coal has been the fastest-growing fuel for each of the past five years and will continue to be the world’s primary source of electricity. We are pleased to be partnering with White Energy to develop a coal product with expanded market reach. Peabody and White Energy are proceeding with engineering design and permitting activities for the first plant that are expected to require up to 24 months. The plant would be built in phases with the first phase expected to produce more than 1 million tons of upgraded coal per year. Subsequent phases could increase plant capacity ultimately to more than 20 million tons annually. Peabody expects substantial global growth opportunities using this technology that will initially focus on applications in North America and China. John Atkinson Chief Executive fficer of White Energy said “The United States is a significant consumer of coal and public sentiment supports that we move to a market with viable clean coal options as soon as possible.

AVEVA Strengthens the Integrated Engineering and Design Approach …
PR Newswire (press release)
AVEVA’s Integrated Engineering and Design approach integrates all plant engineering and AVEVA PDMS 3D design data within a single AVEVA model database. No additional foundation software is needed. The data is fully controlled and can be used across all phases of engineering and design supporting fast error-free design of a plant. This Integrated Engineering and Design approach is now further strengthened with the launch of two new products in the AVEVA Plant portfolio; AVEVA Diagrams for P&ID HVAC and Cable diagrams; and AVEVA Instrumentation for plant instrumentation solutions. New Product – AVEVA Diagrams Already proven as AVEVA Marine Diagrams this product is now also available for the plant industry alongside AVEVA’s AutoCAD-based P&ID solution AVEVA VPE P&ID.
Anvil mining reports $18m loss on lower sales
Creamer Media's Mining Weekly
The suspension of the HMS operation and openpit mining at the Kinsevere operation also located in the DRC during the fourth quarter of 2008 as well as the lower realised copper prices and a one-of charge of $71-million for the first quarter of 2009 had a negative impact on results. ?Although copper prices have shown some signs of improvement since the beginning of the year the company continues to focus on cost minimsation and cash preservation in accordance with the strategy put in place during the fourth quarter of 2008? said Anvil Mining president and CE Bill Turner. ?With the restart of the Kinsevere HMS plant in late March 2009 the company expects to be able to maintain a positive operating cash flow from the HMS operations for the remainder of 2009 and be better positioned to secure the funding required for completion of the Kinsevere Stage 2 SX-EW processing plant. ?Turner added that the Kinsevere HMS plant had performed well since its restart and was on target to produce 8 900 t of copper through to the third-quarter of 2009. As at April 30 2009 it had produced 7 381 t of concentrate at an average grade of 274% copper for 2 022 t of copper metal. The Kinsevere HMS plant was restarted in March last year with feed to the plant sourced from the run-of-mine (RM) stockpile comprising 259 000 t of ore grading 57% copper. Anvil Minig reported that work is being carried out to investigate options available to extend operation of the Kinsevere HMS plant beyond the third quarter of 2009.
New structure focuses on physical plant life cycle
WMU News
Strazdas will lead WMU’s newly realigned Facilities Management Department which was formed in late April. The unit includes all areas that were previously part of the Physical Plant and Campus Facilities Development units and will encompass planning engineering project management and operations. The consolidation of all facility functions under one umbrella organization is expected to provide better coordination among all the functional areas that deal with campus facilities. Strazdas who has managed the maintenance services division of the physical plant since 1994 has been named associate vice president for facilities management. He has already begun his new responsibilities and for the next few months he will work along with senior administrator John Goes to complete the transformation process. Earlier this spring Goes informed University officials of his intent to retire at the end of this year after directing the Physical Plant for nearly 20 years.
