RESIDENT of Noumea, New Caledonia (South Pacific)

Vale Nouvelle Calédonie, located in the French-territory South Pacific island of New Caledonia, ranks as one of the richest undeveloped laterite ore bodies in the world, with an estimated 55 million tons of measured and indicated mineral reserves. Vale Nouvelle Calédonie selected ABB’s flagship automation solution, System 800xA, for the facility’s automation system making it one of the largest System 800xA installations in the world.

The 800xA system includes a Burner Management System (BMS) utilizing three AC 800M high-integrity (HI) controllers for three new coal-fired boilers producing electricity and steam for the plant.
