Adelaide desalination systems provider Osmoflo wins Xstrata contract ADELAIDE desalination technology provider Osmoflo has won a new contract with mining giant Xstrata Coal at its Ulan mine in NSW. The $12 million contract is for the design, manufacture and commissioning of additional water conditioning and desalination capacity at the site. It involves a pre-treatment system that uses a unique oxidation process developed by Osmoflo's engineers and will be fabricated at the company's Burton facility. Osmoflo has previously supplied equipment and technical support for a desalination plant to Xstrata Coal. "The reputation of Osmoflo as Adelaide's water treatment and desalination specialist supplier to the resources industry is further enhanced through the award of this major contract," managing director Marc Fabig said. Earlier this year, Osmoflo was selected to provide ship-mounted desal plants for crews working on the $40 billion-plus Ichthys liquefied natural gas project off the coast of Darwin. Osmoflo, partly owned by Japan's Marubeni Corporation, expects to post a turnover of $80 million to $100 million this financial year.
