Positive results
US. Joy Global Inc, leading mining solutions company, has reported net sales for the third quarter of $904 m, up 45 per cent from the same period last year. Operating profit increased from $110 m in the third quarter of last year to $134 m in the current quarter.
   Operating income was adversely affected by charges associated with the acquisition of Continental Global Group, extension of the union contract at P&H Milwaukee operations, foreign exchange movements and operating costs, including the start up of the P&H China factory and acceleration of some R&D programmes.
   Results reflect exceptional demand for surface and underground mining equipment and services, said Mike Sutherlin, president and CEO. Bookings for the current quarter represent a record high of $1.5 bn, with quarterly orders averaging over $1 bn for the last four quarters. Sutherlin said that this underpins the view of long term strength for equipment demand as customers continue to expand mine production to fill the gap between available supply and growing demand.
   The recent announcement of an agreement to purchase Wuxi Shengda, a manufacturer of longwall shearing machines, will provide access to middle-tier provincial mining companies in China and establish a platform for future growth in this major market segment.
   Underground equipment orders for Joy increased 89 per cent to a record $743 m in the quarter - led by the US, with Australia and South Africa also posting meaningful order increases. Continental achieved $113 m of conveyor orders in the quarter, led by orders from Australasia and Eurasia (not including China).

Power generation order
Germany. FLSmidth MVT/KOCH has signed a contract worth €28.7m for the supply of material handling equipment for a new coal fired power plant near Hamburg in northern Germany.
   The contract comprises two grab ship unloaders for coal and one combined shiploader for FGD-gypsum, dry ash and wet ash. Mechanical, electrical and structural supplies for the three machines are also included as well as pneumatic ash handling equipment provided by FLSmidth Möller.
   Defined as state-of-the-art systems to meet Germany's strict environmental standards, the combined gypsum and ash shiploader avoids the need to install separate shiploaders for the different materials handled.
   FLSmidth’s Group CEO Jørgen Huno Rasmussen said that there is currently a high demand in Germany for this type of equipment. “The country is replacing many of its older nuclear and coal-fired power plants with modern, more environmentally friendly plants, and FLSmidth's capability of combining different material handling systems into one complete solution of the highest environmental standard makes us very competitive in the market," he commented.
  Equipment will be commissioned in either late 2011 or early 2012.

Struggle over Kingsnorth
UK. ‘Eco-warriors’ have been accused of delaying action against climate change with protests over the proposed new power station at Kingsnorth in Kent. The environmental activists have been warned they risk impeding the efforts of scientists and engineers trying to tackle climate change.
   Andrew Furlong, Director of Policy at the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) has criticised some environmental campaigners, suggesting they are guilty of presenting inaccurate and misleading information to both the media and public: “It’s much easier for an army of flag waving activists to get media coverage than it is for the reasoned engineer or scientist”, he said.
   The comments come as protesters under the Climate Camp banner congregated at Kingsnorth over the 3 - 11 August period to campaign against the proposed construction of a new coal-fired power station by E.ON. Climate Camp’s view is that the rapid rise in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere could set in motion large-scale and potentially abrupt changes in the planet’s natural systems that may be irreversible. Burning fossil fuels (including oil, coal and gas) increases the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, exacerbating the problem, says Climate Camp.
   Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technology is seen as a solution, involving capture and compression of waste CO2 from a power station and then pumping it into salt aquifers and old oil wells for long term storage. The IChemE has already backed proposals for Kingsnorth on condition that CCS technology is implemented at the earliest possible date.
  ClimateCamp has described CCS as “an important part of the ‘clean’ coal myth”, but the IChemE says that it’s already happening in China, North Africa, Canada and Norway on a large-scale with other trial projects taking place all over the world.

Joy for king coal
USA. First quarter fiscal year results for Joy Global Inc, a leading player in high productivity mining solutions, show that orders were $870m, up 54 per cent from $565m in the equivalent 2007 period. This was attributed to continued demand from international markets and improving conditions in the US coal market. Net sales for the quarter were $640m compared to $560m in the same period last year. Net income also increased to $71m in the quarter compared to $60m in the 2007 period.
   A major development for the company has been the recent acquisition of Continental Global, a leader in conveyor systems for bulk material handling in mining and related industrial applications. Continental's conveyor systems are considered complementary to Joy’s existing products and services for surface and underground mining applications.
   Mike Sutherlin, President and CEO, said that new orders for Joy were the second highest ever, reflecting continued strength in the markets. "The current orders take our order bookings for the last four quarters to $3.2bn and support our view that the industry's growth will stay stronger for longer....events of the past few months have clearly demonstrated that the mining industry's production capacity has fallen behind the growth in commodity demand, and this has resulted in supply shortages and dramatic increases in commodity prices," he explained. Market outlook for mining equipment therefore remains robust.
   Heavy rains in South Africa, snow in China, and floods in Australia have come at a time when coal stockpiles at many power generating plants are depleted to extremely low levels, pushing international coal into a significant supply deficit. South Africa and India have announced increases in their coal purchases to rebuild stockpiles and China has restricted exports until stockpiles have been replenished. Australia, the world's largest coal exporter, has been constrained from increasing its exports because of capacity limitations at rail and port facilities, a situation that is expected to last through 2010 and possibly longer. Just recently, flooding in Queensland is estimated to have reduced export capacity in 2008 by another 10 -15 mt.
   Against these supply constraints, demand continues to grow. Korea is building ten new coal fuelled power plants, the UK is to build its first coal fuelled power plant in 20 years, and Europe has plans to build up to 60 gigawatts of coal fuelled power to reduce dependence on Russian natural gas.
  Coal exporting countries, including Indonesia, Russia and Vietnam, are also building coal fuelled power plants that will increase domestic demand and reduce export capacity. Supply deficits are therefore expected to remain in international coal markets for the next few years, pushing prices well beyond previous highs.
   This leaves the US as the world's only coal producing region with meaningful upside capacity in the near term, taking it from a regional market to a swing supplier to the international coal market, and US coal exports are expected to increase still further in 2008. At the moment, there is more coal fuelled power generating capacity under construction in the US than at any other time in the last twenty five years.
   Joy is also expected to benefit from tight supply conditions in the copper and iron ore markets as projects to increase capacity expansion are developed to meet demand.

Modernisation programme
USA. FLSmidth is to supply equipment worth $75m for modernising and expanding Ash Grove Cement Co's Foreman plant. The upgraded plant will produce 1.7 mt of cement per year, a net increase in capacity of nearly 700,000 t. The new facility will be located in connection with the existing plant in Arkansas, USA, constructed in 1958.
   The Foreman plant's three existing wet-process kilns will be replaced by more advanced pyro-processing technology, reducing fuel consumption by around 50 per cent and minimising emission levels, with a 70 per cent increase in capacity. In addition, new grinding technologies will ensure high operational reliability and significant energy savings.
   FLSmidth Airtech will supply process and nuisance dust collectors with FLSmidth Pfister providing pulverised fuel weighfeeders. Gear units for the vertical grinding mills will come from FLSmidth MAAG Gear and FLSmidth Airloq will supply gas analysing systems. The plant Expert Control and Supervision (ECS) system, along with an QCX quality control system, will be supplied by FLSmidth Automation. Raw material stacking and reclaiming equipment is also included in the contract as is staff training, project management and plant commissioning which will reach fruition in late 2009.

Brazilian contract
Brazil. FLSmidth has signed a mill contract worth around $40m with Votorantim Cimentos Ltda headquartered in São Paulo, Brazil. The mills will be installed at three different cement plants in the country and is a part of a recently announced investment of approximately $2bn in new production facilities.
   FLSmidth's US project centre in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania in conjunction with the company's Brazilian office are responsible for the projects. Included are two mills for raw grinding, four cement mills and associated spare parts, including a gearbox from FLSmidth subsidiary MAAG Gear.
  Votorantim group, a leading global cement producer, is one of the largest private corporations in Brazil in cement, minerals and metals, controlling about 40 per cent of Brazilian cement production and an important part of ready-mix operations. Internationally, Votorantim controls a number of cement production facilities in the Great Lakes region and in Florida, USA as well as Canada and Bolivia.

Ground breaking contract
Australia. FLSmidth has won a ground breaking order worth over AUD 170m from Aurox Resources Ltd to supply a complete minerals processing plant and related port facilities for the treatment of magnetite iron ore. The plant, to be located in the West Pilbara region of Western Australia, is designed to initially produce up to 6 mt of magnetite concentrate per year with the capability to expand to 10 mt in the future.
   FLSmidth Minerals will supply the complete plant as well as materials handling systems from the mine, through the processing plant, to the ship loading conveyor, with several FLSmidth companies and divisions participating in the project. Included is a relocatable gyratory crusher station from FLSmidth Minerals and FLSmidth KOCH, ore stockpiling and reclaiming equipment as well as concentrate stacking, reclaiming and shiploading equipment also from FLSmidth KOCH, SAG and ball mills from FLSmidth Minerals, cyclones and pumps from FLSmidth Krebs, concentrate and tailings-thickening as well as clarification and filtration equipment from FLSmidth Dorr-Oliver Eimco and complete plant automation supplied by FLSmidth Automation. FLSmidth Minerals is also providing services to coordinate construction, equipment installation and plant commissioning.
   FLSmidth say that the contract validates its new One Source project model, designed to provide benefits in terms of technology, performance synergies and schedule savings and, in this case, reduce project time by approximately six months.
   FLSmidth’s acquisition of Dorr-Oliver Eimco and Krebs Engineers last year combined with other acquisitions in previous years makes it the only player in the world that can facilitate complete plants in both the cement and minerals industries, says Group CEO Jørgen Huno Rasmussen. Commissioning is set for the third quarter of 2010.
