BOSAI’S Dust Collection System for Bauxite Kiln No.14 at Linden will be commissioned today. This system will mitigate dust emitted from the bauxite processing operations of the company and improve air quality in the environs.

Kiln No.14s’ Dust Collecting System is one of two such systems to be installed based on recommendations from the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Environment’s Environmental Protection Agency on measures to reduce dust emissions from the operations. The second dust collecting system is scheduled to be installed at Kiln No. 13 by the end of October this year.
Since the transfer in 2009, of the Environmental Permit from Omai Bauxite Mining Inc. to Bosai Minerals Group II, the Company has been committed to the implementation of the dust collection systems for Kiln No.13 and Kiln No.14, despite numerous hurdles.
Recognizing the importance of effectively safeguarding the environment and improving the quality of life in Linden, there was a concerted effort by all relevant authorities to advance towards the best outcome. With a committed effort by Bosai, the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Environment has mandated the Environmental Protection Agency, and various Sector Agencies, such as the Guyana Geology and Mines Commission (GGMC) which led to an agreed strategy for dust mitigation.
Bosai has shown commitment towards the implementation of the recommended measures which are being regularly monitored and enforced by the Environmental Protection Agency and GGMC.
Prime Minister Samuel Hinds, Minister of Natural Resources and the Environment Robert Persaud, Region 10 Leaders and Executives of Bosai are slated to be present at the commissioning ceremony.
