Company Announcement to the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority No.
28-2012, 22 June 2012
FLSmidth has received an order worth approximately USD 90m (approximately DKK
460m) from the Moroccan company, OCP Office Chérifien des Phosphates, to supply
equipment and technology for a phosphate terminal in Jorf Lasfar, some 120 km
south of Casablanca.
The current order includes delivery of a complete flash drying system for drying
dewatered phosphate ore. With a capacity of 31,000 tonnes per day it will be the
largest phosphate flash drying system in the world. The scope of supply also
includes combustion systems, pelletizing, an air pollution control system
including a limestone based flue gas desulphurisation system and a complete
control package.
OCP is a world leader in extraction and treatment of phosphate and phosphate
products primarily for the fertilizer industry. OCP is a known customer to
FLSmidth and last year FLSmidth was awarded a large material handling order from
the company (see company announcement no. 16-2011).
FLSmidth's extensive testing of phosphate ore at its pilot facilities along with
world class automation and air pollution control systems were key to winning
this order and signify FLSmidth's strength as a supplier of cutting edge
technology.
"As the demand for fertilizer increases worldwide, we are proud to supply the
world's largest phosphate flash drying system and to be able to offer our
customers innovative solutions that exceed World Bank emission standards," Group
CEO Jørgen Huno Rasmussen says.
The order will contribute beneficially to FLSmidth's earnings until 2013.
