During his trip to Navoi region, President Shavkat Mirziyoyev also visited the remote Tamdy region. He got acquainted with the activities of the plant for processing technogenic waste of Navoi mining and metallurgical combinat, talked with people.

Before our country gained independence, Navoi mining and metallurgical combinat had 2 plants, and in subsequent years, 4 hydrometallurgical plants were built. As a result, the volume of ore processing increased 3 times, and the volume of production – 2 times. The volume of rock mass excavation naturally increases, and a large amount of waste is generated.

During the construction, lightweight structures and energy-saving technologies were used. The production of many types of equipment and components that were previously imported has been localized. They are produced in the units of Navoi machine-building plant. Domestic components are also used in the chemical waste treatment process.
