Modular Plant Design Summit 2027
Southern Africa’s dedicated forum for modular processing plants, where the providers of modular process technology meet the mining houses, EPCMs and developers who use it.
Modular has moved into the mainstream
Modular and containerised process plants have gone from a niche alternative to a mainstream strategy for mining, metallurgical, oil and gas and petrochemical projects across Africa.
Faster deployment, lower on-site risk and phased scalability matter more as capital tightens and permitting takes longer. The summit is a focused forum on modular processing specifically, built around real dialogue between technology providers and the people leading projects. General mining shows give modular a stand in the corner. Here it is the whole agenda.
Join the conversation
The summit programme is still being shaped. Tell us which modular plant questions you want answered, or put your own project forward.
What the summit will cover
Industry dynamics and market drivers
Critical minerals demand, capital discipline and the economics of speed to first production.
Regulation, reform and governance
Local content, environmental permitting, and energy and water licensing for decentralised sites.
Emerging technology
Automation and remote operation, digital twins, containerised electrical systems and hybrid power.
Challenges and constraints
Standardisation versus customisation, transporting modules, commissioning skills and financing.
Successes and case studies
Delivered modular projects, told by the clients who commissioned them.
The future of modular processing
Decentralised processing hubs, phased plant strategies and beneficiation in Africa.
