PRS successfully delivered a full turnkey 270 TPM copper electrowinning plant in Kitwe, Zambia, providing comprehensive EPC services from design and equipment supply to installation, commissioning, and operator training. Despite challenges such as delayed electrolyte availability and low Cu²⁺ concentration, the system was effectively commissioned using lean electrolyte, confirming deposit quality and equipment functionality. All key components—including cells, cathodes, anodes, pumps, piping, and electrical systems—were installed and tested under real operating conditions, demonstrating leak-free performance, operational stability, and readiness for full production.
