- Progressing in accordance with revised schedule.
- Supplier and vender firm quotations submitted.
- Final design incorporates scope changes and recommendations from due diligence.
Commenting on the progress of detailed engineering and design activities, Altech managing director Iggy Tan said, “overall, the detailed design, engineering and associated final EPC contract price formation is progressing at the required rate to align with the German government export credit agency project finance cover application and approval process. Altech continues to fund all detailed design and engineering activities in order to expedite project development.”
Altech Chemicals Limited is aiming to become one of the world’s leading suppliers of 99.99% (4N) high purity alumina (HPA) (Al2O3).
HPA is a high-value, high margin and highly demanded product because it is the critical ingredient required for the production of sapphire substrates, which are used in the manufacture of LED lights, alumina semiconductor wafers that are widely used in the electronics industry and for the manufacture of scratch resistant artificial sapphire glass used for watch faces, camera lenses and by various smartphone manufacturers. There is no substitute for HPA in the manufacture of artificial sapphire.

Property answers to rates. Private credit answers to defaults. Even the […]
The listing fee vendors pay whether the house sells or not
Australia’s property portals collect more than $2 billion a year while national listings sit flat. An Australian-built AI platform is targeting the economics, not just the interface. An Australian vendor listing a home pays a vendor-paid advertising fee on top of agency commission. Rama Dwarapudi, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of RealSearch, puts a typical […]
