11-09-2009: Rocktron, based in Widnes, UK was awarded the Nicklin medal (sponsored by BP) after being recognised as the outstanding entry across all eleven award categories. Rocktron, shortlisted for the sustainable technology award (sponsored by ABB), based its winning entry around an eco-mineral processing plant that aims to process power station waste (fly ash or pulverised fuel ash) to produce economically viable products with no waste or effluent. The plant can store both fresh and stockpiled fly ash and the process uses pneumatic flotation cells, specifically designed for fine particle separation.
The Nicklin medal is a new prize awarded for the first time this year and initiated in memory of the late Don Nicklin. Nicklin, who died in 2007, was Chair of IChemE in Australia and head of chemical engineering at Queensland University, Australia.
