At 8:18 a.m. on March 17, 2026, upon the issuance of the power transmission order, the electric furnace system of the 31,400 TPY nickel sulfate project undertaken by our company under the EPC general contracting mode for Indonesia BMS Group was successfully energized on the first attempt! The smooth achievement of this key milestone marks that the project has fully shifted from the construction and installation stage to the trial production stage. It has laid a solid technological foundation for the subsequent core processes such as high-grade nickel matte preparation and battery-grade nickel sulfate refining, and accelerated the early realization of production capacity and efficient operation of the project.

Overcoming Challenges and Meeting Milestones on Schedule

On the eve of Eid al-Fitr in Indonesia, the successful completion of this key milestone has won high praise and full recognition from the owner, BMS Group. All on-site equipment operated smoothly with all parameters fully up to standard, fully demonstrating the superb technical strength and efficient overall execution capability of the project team. The project adopts a complete set of modern production lines, including one 36,000 kVA  RKEF production line, two converters and one advanced wet-process nickel sulfate production line. From a barren site to a bustling workshop with roaring machines, the project team overcame numerous difficulties in overseas construction and promoted the project construction in strict accordance with high standards and high quality. 

Technological Innovation in Line with New Energy Trends 

The successfully energized electric furnace is the core of the RKEF section of the entire nickel sulfate project. According to our technical experts, the RKEF (Rotary Kiln-Electric Furnace) process is an advanced technology in nickel-iron smelting. Replacing traditional sintering machines and shaft furnaces, it efficiently produces nickel-iron molten iron through the perfect coordination of rotary kilns and electric furnaces. As the EPC general contractor, our company not only provides complete sets of core equipment, but also delivers fully independent and controllable process technologies and integrated solutions. The process flow of the project is scientifically and rigorously designed with a mature and advanced technical route: the efficient enrichment and refining of nickel raw materials are completed in the pyrometallurgical section to produce high-quality and high-value-added intermediate products; then refined treatment and deep purification are carried out in the hydrometallurgical section to finally produce high-standard battery-grade nickel sulfate.

 "Nickel sulfate is a core raw material for new energy batteries," company representative said， "We are not only building a factory, but also contributing to the development of the global new energy industry. The success of this project marks a crucial step forward for us in the field of nickel resource deep processing."

Diversified Layout to Build an Industry Benchmark

The smooth progress of the project once again strongly proves that as a leading EPC general contractor in the industry, our company possesses a full-chain comprehensive service capability covering process design, technology R&D, equipment manufacturing, installation and commissioning, as well as operation and maintenance. In addition to the nickel-based new energy materials sector, the company also has profound technical accumulation and mature industrialization capabilities in ferroalloy fields such as silicon-manganese. The R&D and industrialization layout of high-silicon silicon-manganese and other key basic materials for the photovoltaic industry are in line with China's new energy development strategy and industrial policies on energy conservation and environmental protection. 

The successful one-time energization of the electric furnace of the BMS nickel sulfate project in Indonesia is an important milestone for our company to actively respond to the Belt and Road Initiative and further expand the overseas metallurgical engineering market. In the future, our company will continue to uphold the philosophy of "Craftsmanship and Intelligent Manufacturing", take technological innovation as the engine to drive industrial upgrading, continuously provide global customers with high-quality EPC general contracting services for metallurgical projects, and support the high-quality transformation and development of the global green energy industry.
