3. Global Expertise, Local Adaptability

PRS’s projects span challenging environments worldwide, including:

  • High-Temperature Zones: Ventilation and cost-saving design for African copper plants.
  • Low-Temperature Zones: Custom design for removing acid mist for Central Asia projects.
  • Seismic-Prone Regions: Earthquake-resistant plant designs in South Americaand Southeast Asia.

 

Recent Projects:

  • 30,000TPA EW workshopin Congo.
  • 10,000 TPA and two 3,000 TPA projects in Zambia.
  • Two 2,400 TPA equipment supply, also in Zambia
  • 6,000TPA plant in Philippines.

4. Speed to Market

 PRS’s rapid response and manufacturing capabilities ensure fast project execution:

  • 4-Month Delivery: From design to equipment shipment.
  • 1-Year Plant Commissioning: Including installation, training, and full operational readiness.
  • 7-10-Day Quotation Turnaround: Accelerating decision-making for clients.

Why PRS Excels in Small to Medium-Sized Projects

 While giants dominate large-scale mining, PRS focuses on small and medium-sized copper electrowinning plants, offering:

  • Cost-Effective Scalability: Start with essential modules (e.g., cells, pumps, stripping stations) and expand as production grows.
  • ROI-Focused Designs: Achieve payback within 1 year of operation through energy savings and high-purity output.
  • 24/7 Support: Dedicated teams for pre-sales consultation, installation guidance, on-site commissioning and after-sales services.

Looking Ahead

PRS makes innovations continually :

  • Sustainable Practices: Lowering carbon footprints via renewable energy integration.
  • Performance simulation: If the client specifically requests, we can use software to simulate the performance of some equipment in advance and generate reports.
  • Global Partnerships: Expanding into new markets while deepening ties in Africa, South America, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East, including countries such as Zambia, Chile, Peru, Indonesia, Vietnam, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE.
