At 5: 00 a.m. on December 19, 2021, a scooter full of MHP products slowly drove into the HPAL terminal yard, once again refreshing the output of the HPAL project on the Indonesian island of OBI. Since then, the tonnage of nickel and cobalt in the HPAL project has been increased to 12015 tons and 1638 tons respectively, fulfilling the target of producing 12000 tons of nickel metal ahead of schedule. Not only submitted a satisfactory answer to the company, but also laid a solid foundation for next year's formal production and accumulated a wealth of experience!

"recall the extraordinary years of the past." From the fall of the first pile in the site in December 2018 to the successful trial production of the autoclave on April 27, 2021, and now the annual production plan for 2021 has been completed ahead of schedule, it took less than three years to work hard on the HPAL project, making the large-scale development of low-grade laterite nickel ore impossible. At the same time, Liqin HPAL project has also become the leading representative in the field of high-pressure acid wetting production of laterite nickel ore in Indonesia and the world so far, and it is the first project that can reach 100% load production in the year it was put into production.
