another week, page-8

Thanks.

I agree that there are good reasons as to why the Thais would be interested but personally I don't see it happening until the XEPT deal is a thing of the past and, consequently, the price has dropped.

Can't remember if these minutes have been posted before or not. Apologies if so. Disappointing to read they're still having problems with the plant.

Western Metropolitan Regional Council - Minutes 5 October 2017

The AWT Plant resumed some operations from 4 September 2017, under the new owners of DiCOM, Shenton Energy. Dry system tests were run on MRF equipment in early September, with small amounts of waste supplied by the WMRC. Further deliveries of 35 tonnes were requested on several days in late September, for tests of the wet separation system. Performance of the AWT Plant has been irregular, with tonnes actually accepted ranging from 0 – 20 tonnes per day. Issues so far have included problems with the Plant’s forklift and a snapped chain conveyor. Full system ramp up was, at the time of writing, indicatively scheduled to start in late September 2017, with delivery of 220 tonnes per day (design capacity) requested from the WMRC and the City of Stirling. The Waste Operations Manager will provide a verbal update at the Council Meeting.
