Looking for one stop smelting and assaying equipment supplier.

We just opened a purchasing gold office in Guinea Conakry. At this point we are relaying in Gov refinery, but we are looking to establish a.s.a.p. our own refinery on the ground. We have been checking on internet for one supplier of the complete equipment (including chemicals) but we found none.

Is out there a manufacturer that can supply complete and modern equipment for assaying and smelting gold dust?
We are looking for a purity of +95%
And we want to process 10 Kg per day
Thanks in advance for any info.
 
Well where to start here....Do you have experience in refining ,assaying or melting? What exactly are you looking for and for what purpose? What exactly are you looking to refine and what are the other metals in the mix? There are many members here on the forum that can set up your refinery for you but more information is needed and if you want a quick fix its going to cost you for their knowledge, or failing that read all the posts on here and do it yourself but be prepared for a long slow journey until you fully understand and dont throw your money away on one stop rubbish.I wish you luck in your quest and dont believe any one who says this is easy, which most of it is,unless they can prove their expertise of all the areas your looking into.
 
We are just gold buyers.
We buy gold dust with a purity +92% which is assayed by local Gov agency and then paid by us to seller.
We know several smelting systems, but we are not experts in smelting.
We want to smelt and assay by ourselves, on the ground, with independence of Gov testing.
We are looking for equipment to process gold dust coming to us with purity (normally) over 92%.
We want to improve that purity to +94%
We want a smelting capacity of maximum 10 Kg/day.
We are not interested in other metals.
We are looking for a robust, cost effective, energy saving, easy use equipment to operate in Africa.
We shall contract a local technician to run the equipment.
We want a description and estimate of the cost of the smelting and assaying equipment.
If one stop supplier is not possible, we are looking for a member that can design, estimate and put all the pieces together and ship them to mentioned country.
If latest is the case, this is our company email:

We shall answer all the reasonable offers.

Some comments:


1.) going from 92% to 94% is trivially easy. At 92% purity (what are the other contaminants?) it would a simple manner to get to 3N from there, if not better if the right protocols are found.
2.) I'd advise against a turnkey system--when things go wrong, as they sometimes do in the field, you don't want to be relying upon a complicated machine.
3.) Obtain or make a filter press and buy 5 gallon buckets, nitric acid/hydrochloric acid, vinyl (Tygon) tubing
 
Probably the best route. Should get them to 99%+ maybe better if they're careful. I imagine silver will be one of their contaminants in the gold.
