Investing in our production facilities and technology development

  • SciDev secures its unique chemistry supply from a range of inhouse and third-party production facilities across Australia, China and the USA

  • Our Australian facility, based in NSW, accounts for approximately 20% of our requirements versus the domestic Australia market accounting for approximately 50% of revenue

  • We are seeing growing domestic demand for our chemistry especially among the Mining and water vertical

  • Demand is also growing in the USA for SciDev chemistry across Oilfield and Construction with global shipping rates making local USA production more attractive

  • Expanding our Australian production facilities, helps secure our supply chain and improve margins on domestic Australian sales, providing more flexibility on product mix

  • The expansion of our Australian facilities will also expand our laboratory capabilities and provides the opportunity for our highly skilled team to expand our knowledge of and development of new solutions including plant and bio-based chemistries

  • The future possible utilisation of plant and bio-based polymers will further establish our leading position in the environmental solutions market and allow our customers to reduce their carbon footprint and reduce their demand on petro chemicals

Case Study Mineral Sands

SciDev chemistry is used to improve operational efficiency in processing mineral sands tailings

==> picture [179 x 45] intentionally omitted <==

----- Start of picture text -----

The Problem
----- End of picture text -----

==> picture [40 x 36] intentionally omitted <==

Process water had high salinity levels slowing processing time and efficiency of the operation

Conventional flocculants don’t work optimally in saline water limiting performance and increasing cost

Substantial variation in feed from the variable ore body further complicated the challenges

SciDev solved these problems by designing bespoke chemistry and applying our professional expertise

Audit of the flocculant delivery system

We developed
the MaxiFlox®

Our recommendation on the flocculant delivery system increased system capacity by 25% without using chemicals

SciDev designed the MaxiFlox[(P) ] 550R to operate in the high saline environment

Case Study PFAS

Most mines in Australia would have low volume, but highly concentrated PFAS hotspots

The Problem
----- End of picture text -----

==> picture [40 x 36] intentionally omitted <==

First and only plant in the country treating to this low level detection on a continuous basis with no discharge exceedance

Onsite and lab analysis to determine optimal process flow and treatment strategies

High relative concentration of the less regulated carboxylic acids which are typically harder to remove

AIX part of the process tailored specifically for the efficient removal of this particular group of compounds

Fully remote monitored and operated system

Treated over 200ML of contaminated water

Contamination of surface water

Stringent discharge limits

Existing within a drinking water catchment area

RESULTS

PFOS PFOA Total PFAS
Raw Water – pre
