The proposal is to construct and operate a commercial scale HIsmelt Process Plant at Kwinana in Western Australia. The plant will be located at the site currently occupied by the existing HIsmelt Research and Development Facility (HRDF) within the northern portion of the Kwinana Industrial Area (KIA), 40km south of Perth. The Stage 1 plant will initially produce around 820,000 tonnes per annum of pig iron. If the Stage 1 plant is found to be technically and commercially viable, the proponent...

The proposal is to establish the Geraldton Steel Plant (GSP) at Oakajee, 23km north of Geraldton. The GSP will be located within the planned Oakajee Industrial Estate in the Shire of Chapman Valley. The proposal will consist of the following main components: a pellet plant in which the majority of iron ore is converted to pellets suitable for direct reduction; two direct reduction plants for the reduction of pelletised iron ore to direct reduced iron; three electric arc furnaces and tlu·ee...

The proposal is to to increase the production of Kingstream Resources' recently assessed Mid West Iron & Steel Project Geraldton Steel Plant (GSP), at the Narngulu Industrial Estate south-east of Geraldton, from 1.0 Mt/a to 2.4 Mt/a. Changes are also proposed to the product, specifically that slab steel be produced rather than rolled coil, with resulting changes in the requirement for major plant.

The proposal is to develop and implement a programme to improve management of dust and reduce the dust impacts from BHP Iron Ore's operations at Finucane Island and Nelson Point in Port Hedland. The proponent has acknowledged that iron ore dust from its operations is an issue of concern to the Port Hedland community and has implemented some dust control measures. In addition, during the assessment of the Hot Briquetted Iron (HBI) project in Port Hedland (EPA, 1995), the EPA recognised that... Read more...Last updated: March 26, 1996
The proposal is to construct and operate a Direct Reduction/Hot Briquetted Iron plant near Cape Lambert in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. The proposed plant will utilise conventional and commercially proven ore concentration, pelletising and gas-based shaft furnace direct reduction technologies to convert Pilbara iron ore (fines and lump) into HBI. The production capacity of the plant is expected to be 3.6 million tonnes per year (Mtpa) of HBI. The project may be developed in stages... Read more...
