ACCELEWARE SECURES NEXT PHASE CONTRACT FOR MINERAL DRYING PROJECT WITH SASKATCHEWAN'S INTERNATIONAL MINERALS INNOVATION INSTITUTE

Acceleware Ltd. has been awarded a phase 3A contract for a potash drying project by the International Minerals Innovation Institute. This project, worth $350,000, positions Acceleware as a leader in applying radio frequency heating technology for industrial mineral processing, creating a strong competitive edge in the potash and critical mineral industry and reinforcing its commitment to innovation and environmental stewardship.

"This project is exactly in alignment with Acceleware's strategy -- to use RF heating technology to lower energy consumption and operating cost," said Geoff Clark, chief executive officer, Acceleware.

The new project phase will build upon Acceleware's and IMII's phase 2 development, which included the design, construction and testing of prototype clean-tech-inverter-powered dryers at increasing scale. Phase 2 testing results showed that RF-based drying had the potential to dry both typical and fines product streams more efficiently than traditional methods and reduce downstream costs by reducing the volume of air flow used in the drying process.

"Data from the phase 3A test will help inform future research and development of this technology. It is an important step to evaluate the RF drying technology with a once-through configuration," said Lesley McGilp, executive director of IMII.

Phase 3A will use a new fully instrumented RF-energy-based 200-kilogram-per-hour dryer to dry potash fines, aiming to reduce moisture from 12 per cent to 0.2 per cent. Potash fines typically make up 20 per cent of the production from a typical mine and tend to be more challenging and expensive to dry. This phase will include validating the effectiveness of the technology and optimizing the dryer design. Successful completion will inform IMII and its members with results and confidence to consider supporting further development and testing of the technology.
