:: Aker Kvaerner Contract for Southern Peru, Smelter Acid Plant  

The Chemetics divison of Aker Kvaerner Canada Inc. (Chemetics) and Kvaerner Perú SA (KPSA) have been awarded the contracts by Southern Peru Copper Corporation (SPCC) to build the second sulphuric acid plant and effluent treatment plant at its copper smelter in Ilo Peru. The lump sum contracts which are valued at approximately USD 59 million include the complete design, supply, erection, and commissioning of the plant.

SPCC is 54.2 per cent owned by Grupo Mexico, the world's third largest copper producer. The new 3760 metric tonnes per day capacity acid plant is required to capture the off-gases from the smelter which is also being modernised as part of the Ilo site's overall environmental compliance with Peruvian plant emission regulations.
