VELTA MADE STEP INTO NEW ERA OF TITANIUM

;
Velta has built the first titanium mining and processing complex from scratch since the independence of Ukraine based on the Birzulivske deposit of ilmenite ore.
1 205 000 tons of unique high-grade titanium feedstock was mined, processed and delivered to the clients since 2012 at the plant.
Titanium feedstock mining plays a key role in our vertical integration and scientific breakthrough.

FEEDSTOCK BASE

Velta’s Birzulivske ilmenite deposit is located in the center of Europe in the Novomyrhorod region of the Kirovohrad region.

HIGH-GRADE TITANIUM FEEDSTOCK

Velta is one of only a few fully private producers of titanium feedstock in Europe.

We use large ilmenite deposits from the Kirovograd region in central Ukraine and began commercial shipments of titanium feedstock in early 2012.
Our location, along with access to advanced transportation and storage facilities, enables us to deliver products globally.
Our Birzulivske deposit currently contains 3 million tons of high-quality ilmenite.
The unique characteristics of this resource have allowed us to separate the ilmenite concentrate into two product grades, which differ in the content of the main components, such as TіO2, FeО and Fe2О3. Thus our product can be used to produce titanium dioxide by both the sulfate and chloride processes, as well as to get slag and synthetic rutile. The current capacity of the Birzulivske mining and processing plant is up to 270 thousand tons of ilmenite concentrate per year.

Velta 15 years of growth

Since its founding in 2006, we have been steadily moving toward establishing a vertically integrated company with a full titanium production cycle—from the mine to the production of finished goods using innovative technology

In 2023, Velta launched Velta Medical, a company specializing in the production of individual titanium implants using 3D printing technology

Stages of the Velta process:
1.
SLUDGE DISPOSAL:
Removal of impurities from ore sands in a hydrocyclone.
2.
GRAVITY SEPARATION:
Separation of quartz sand and rough ilmenite in gravity separators.
3.
MAGNETIC SEPARATION:
Bringing ilmenite concentrate to the stage of finished product on roller magnetic separators.
Quality control at every stage
1.
Regular sampling of ilmenite concentrate at the stage of ore enrichment.
2.
Regular sampling of ilmenite concentrate during loading to storage or before it’s shipped to customers.
3.
Independent testing of ilmenite concentrate by the SGS laboratory when loading and shipping to customers.
4.
Regular testing of finished products in the company’s own laboratory.
5.
Use of chemical and X-ray methods to confirm the content of TiO2 and timely detection of undesirable impurities.
SAFE AND CONSISTENT DELIVERIES
Velta is an export-oriented company, and therefore transport logistics have been designed to meet the needs of each client.
We have direct railway access to the modern seaport facilities from our location in central Ukraine. We have developed our own approach to the warehousing and storage of feedstock in the port, which allows us to avoid excess moisture and unwanted objects in the load when shipping products by sea.
