HPA First produces first precursor
The HPA First project, in Queensland, has produced its first aluminium-nitrate precursors, ASX-listed Alpha HPA said on Tuesday. The Stage 1 precursor production facility (PPF) is in the final stages of chemical commissioning and delivered its maiden production this week. The PPF has produced 3 300 kg of aluminium nitrate pre-cursor crystal, reaching a production rate of 800 kg/d, or equivalent to some 70% of the nameplate capacity.
