Todmorden-based Weir Minerals has secured a contract to supply pumps for a new 200km-long pipeline project in Morocco.
The scheme will transport phosphate rock from inland mines at Khouribga to the coastal port of Jorf Lasfar for processing and shipping.
The company was selected by Turkey-based contractor Tekfen, which is carrying out the project for Office Chérifien des Phosphates (OCP), the state-owned Moroccan phosphates company.
OCP exports around £2.85bn of phosphate rock and derivative products each year – approximately 25 per cent of the country’s total exports.
Weir Minerals is supplying high-pressure pumps designed for use in series transporting applications and will be deployed at three pumping stations along the pipeline’s route.
