Masan Resources apply technology to affirm its capabilities and position

In recent years, Masan Resources Joint Stock Company (Masan Resources) is one of the famous domestic and international mining enterprises because of its outstanding advantages in mining, production, and refinement issues mineral refining, etc. Thanks for focusing on investing in applying modern technology and gradually mastering the technology, the Company gradually asserts its capacity and position in the market.

Investment in applying modern technology

Since 2015, Masan Resources have established a Research and Development Center for high-tech products. With the goal of improving product quality to maximize resources, the Company has focused on investing in modern technology lines, training human resources capable of deploying production lines of products. added value, bring high export value. In 2017, the Company has invested in two more high-tech lines with a capital of over 9 million USD, including: Fluorite refining line and tungsten recovery line by gravity grading. These are the two most modern lines in the world at this time.

After acquiring from HCStarck Company other tungsten / mineral processing technology, Masan Resources have mastered the deep processing technology from the HCStarck partner such as caustic soda extraction technology with the reuse rate high quality; Ultra-clean purification technology uses chemicals to precipitate impurities and solvent extraction technology to minimize waste water discharged into the environment. Up to now, the Company has been continuously improving technology and reducing input costs to further perfect production technologies.

Step by step mastering modern technology

In the process of global integration, there are many opportunities for businesses but also challenges businesses. It is the 4.0 industrial revolution and high technology application. In 2018, the Company focused on internal training to close the capacity gap of employees. Up to now, in some production and administration departments of the Company, Vietnamese workers have completely mastered modern technology without the assistance of foreign experts.

The technology applied here is considered to be one of the best tungsten processing lines in the world. Initially, after acquiring technology from H.C.Starck, the proportion of foreign workers at the Company accounted for 15%, so far down to 2 people. The qualification of engineers in the country is increasing. They not only have the ability to operate the factory competently, but also create products of uniform quality, stability with the required volume. As a Production Supervisor at the Company, Mr. Doan Xuan Truong shared: “I have made great efforts to explore new technology, new management processes and strive to work to get updates. update your knowledge and practice your skills. Now, I can control the entire tungsten gravity field independently, almost without the supervision of foreign experts.

The company is currently a supplier of important minerals such as tungsten, fluorspar and bismuth and operates the largest metallurgical ore production and processing plant in the North.
