Veolia Ghana Limited signs a Memorandum of understanding with The University of Mines & Technology (UMAT) to run a pilot plant campaign to test the most efficient way to deconcentrate effluent water contained in the mine water management system.
UMaT is a specialist of higher education in mining, petroleum, technology and related engineering disciplines for the country’s mining and allied industries and also the provision of consultancy services to the national and international communities.
The campaign starts with an initial phase of pilot plant testing where Veolia will mobilise a mobile laboratory called Neolab, equipped with advanced analytical technologies , to enable the capture of a large amount of data and characterise quickly the treated waters and provide all relevant design information for the preparation of a feasibility study.
This MOU is not intended by the Parties to constitute, create, give effect to, or otherwise recognize an agency, partnership, or formal business organization of any kind other than the arrangement as set forth herein.
The Vice Chancellor of UMAT Professor Richard K. Amankwah and Managing Director of Veolia Ghana Mr Laurent Jean Piat signed the MOU on behalf of their respective parties. The signing ceremony was jointly witnessed by Veolia’s consultant Dr Stephen Yirenkyi and the Chief Finance officer for Veolia Ghana, Mrs Grace Awotwe Ohene.
