Building a Sustainable Business

  • SciDev benefits from dual revenue steams selling chemicals directly to customers coupled with supply of technology/equipment that pulls through the chemical offering The combination of manufacturing and technology/equipment provides SciDev with its competitive advantage

Innovative Technology Offering

  • R&D program
  • The purpose of the OptiFlox® System is to isolate and measure the key characteristics of the 'particles of interest' in either:
    • wastewater streams; or
    • coal slurries etc., in order
    • to optimise and automate the chemical dosing regime and thus maintain water clarity.
  • production gains

Significant Financial Benefits to Customers

  • Significant production and revenue value is routinely lost by coal companies from inadequate water clarification. This is
  • estimated to range from $1.6m to $10m depending on plant throughput and coal prices SciDev assists companies reduce these losses with improved washing performance and water management, thereby delivering higher throughput and product yields Technology offering allows customers to remotely monitor chemical dosing at wastewater treatment facilities potentially lowering labour costs SDV seeks to unlock and ultimately share in production and yield gains
