Confirmation that Mongolian brown coal is suited for conversion into
higher value products using Coal Plus -- a proprietary coal upgrading
technology -- paves the way for Jatenergy’s agreement with
Monrospromugoli to go ahead, and finally to result in a 600,000-tonne
conversion plant that will generate annual royalties of US$1.76 million.
Test
results have demonstrated that the high-moisture, high-volatility,
low-calorific Mongolian brown coal can be easily converted into semi
coking coal. Monrospromugoli Business Manager Otto Khurts said the
company was pleased with the outcome and looked forward to working with
Jatenergy.Success would allow the Mongolian private sector and
government make better use of the abundant low-rank, high-volatile
bituminous coal, which is currently being ineffectively burnt by
coal-fired heating companies.
