Fabrication of Samphire FRT Pilot Processing
Plant Complete
Alligator Energy Limited ASX: AGE (Alligator or the Company) is pleased to advise that the
fabrication and acceptance testing of the Field Recovery Trial (FRT) pilot processing plant has been
completed and the containerised modules have been transported to Whyalla in advance of finalising
all approvals for the on-site construction.
Highlights
• Fabrication of the pilot processing plant by Adelaide Control Engineering (ACE) for the Samphire
Project FRT has been completed.
• The seven containerised plant modules including the reverse osmosis plant have passed factory
acceptance testing and are now being deployed to Whyalla where they will be stored ahead of
finalisation of all regulatory approvals and completion of site construction works.
• Geotechnical investigations have been completed to finalise the site engineering design in
readiness for construction works and construction tender.
• Fabrication of the pilot processing plant in this modularised form may create business
opportunities for the further use of the plant at completion of the FRT.
• The Company continues to work with the Regulator to provide the additional information
requested by SA Govt Departments to enable finalisation of the Retention Lease for the FRT.
Alligator’s Acting CEO, Andrea Marsland-Smith stated: “Completion of the fabrication of the FRT
pilot processing plant by ACE is a significant milestone in our planning for the field recovery trial. We
would like to acknowledge the Alligator engineering team, ACE and Ammjohns Project Engineering
in achieving completion of this important phase of the Project. The modularised transportable “plug
and play” nature of the plant and its integrated control system will lend itself for use on other sites
into the future. Construction, commissioning and operating plans are now well underway in
preparation for on-site assembly of the FRT infrastructure upon granting of the Retention Lease and
approval of the Program for Environment Protection and Rehabilitation plan (PEPR).”
