American mineral processing equipment supplier Sepor Inc. has provided a closer look at equipment destined for GreenRoc Strategic Materials’ graphite purification pilot plant in Denmark, highlighting a U.S. role in the developing downstream supply chain for Greenland’s Amitsoq Graphite Project.
The Florida based company posted photographs of the equipment on August 17, announcing that it had completed another pilot plant project and linking directly to GreenRoc’s latest Amitsoq update. Sepor, which dates back to 1953, supplies mineral processing, metallurgical and pilot scale equipment.
The update follows GreenlandEnergy.com’s August 14 report that most of the equipment for GreenRoc’s purification line was being packed for shipment from Sepor’s facility in Florida.
The equipment has now moved another step closer to operation.
GreenRoc said in a LinkedIn update Wednesday that its purification plant is currently crossing the Atlantic and will soon be installed at its site in Denmark. The company also said its spheronising mills are running while partners IPU and the Technical University of Denmark continue refining the purification recipe and process flow diagram.
The work is part of GreenRoc’s effort to demonstrate that graphite concentrate produced from Amitsoq in South Greenland can be transformed into a higher-value material for lithium-ion battery anodes.
GreenRoc is pursuing both the extraction of graphite in Greenland and the downstream processing needed to move the material farther along the battery supply chain.
Sepor’s involvement adds an American industrial component to that effort: graphite from Greenland, specialized mineral processing equipment supplied from the United States, and pilot purification work taking place in Denmark.
GreenRoc said drilling at Amitsoq is also continuing while the downstream program advances.
