Mining Plant – Liquidation & Dismantlement – Tronox

Overview

Tronox, in partnership with two other trona producers in Green River, constructed a Beneficiated Milled Trona (BMT) plant to produce a specific product for the power industry in 2013. After only a few months of operation, the plant ceased operations. The plant was located within Tronox’s existing Green River site, and integrated with other operations. The BMT plant was three separate buildings – Ore Handling, Beneficiation, and Milling. Elevated conveyors ran between each building, and spread over several miles and several live operating areas. In 2016, the partnership set a hard deadline to dismantle the plant and searched out companies that could safely and cost effectively remove the BMT plant including all associated concrete foundations, pedestals and footings.

Asset Recovery / Sales Plan

Phoenix Equipment had previously bought and sold for relocation a complete sodium cyanide at the Green River site.  Based on our previous relationship, Tronox invited us to participate in a competitive bid to dismantle and salvage the BMT plant.  Phoenix Equipment was awarded the project because we provided the highest equipment and salvage credit to Tronox and had demonstrated the ability to safely work at the MSHA regulated site.  Prior to starting dismantlement work, we initiated a multi-faceted marketing campaign to develop buyers for the large mining process machinery.  We sold many items directly from site and transported the balance to a storage yard for future sale.  By project end, Phoenix safely dismantled and rigged out at its own expense over 100 pieces of process equipment for resale, including:  (2) DF-85 Williams Fluid Bed Roller Mill Systems; (2) Tomra Commodas Ultrasort Pro Secondary XRT C1200 Sorters; General Kinematics Model STM 96X2 Single Deck Vibratory Screener; McLanahan Model BDDR2448007 Double Roller Crusher; McLanahan Model 48"W x 17'6"L Apron Feeder; Gundlach Roll Crusher and several miles of elevated conveyor.

Asset Recovery Summary

100+ Pieces of Process Equipment
3500 Ton+ of Carbon Steel

Dismantlement Work

Our subcontractors spent about 10 months on-site safely perform the project without any injury or incident.
