?The proponents of a 12 million dollar iron recycling plant on Newcastle's Kooragang
Island are reassuring residents the facility won't have a negative impact on the
environment.
The Austpac plant isn't due to start operating until the second half of next year, but
the company intends to start commissioning some equipment at the site next week.
The process involves recycling waste product from steel plants including OneSteel at
Waratah, into iron briquettes and hydrochloric acid.
Austpac Managing Director Mike Turbott says he understands the community
concern since the Orica chemical leaks, but insists the recycling process is safe.
“It's a very different process. We're handling chlorides and iron oxides and fail-safe
scrubbing systems are being implemented, so we don't anticipate any problems with
our little plant. The Orica plant is quite a different kettle of fish I guess,” he said.
