AZMET Basic Leach Technology (AZ-BLT)

Spanish translation: AZMET, Tecnología de lixiviación básica (AZ-BLT)

English term or phrase: AZMET Basic Leach Technology (AZ-BLT)
I have a question here. I am proofreading someone translation, the person translated this as

Tecnología de lixiviación básica de AZMET (AZ-BLT)

which I thought it was fine. So I left it at that.

But today my client told me

Can you please fix all AZMET IP products and technologies.

For example:

AZMET Basic Leach Technology (AZ-BLT)



In Spanish they previously put the AZMET at the back of the description and I was told by a Spanish lady that it reads incorrectly; it is the name of the product or technology and should start with AZMET



Please ensure that on all documents where we refer to AZMET products and technologies by name that the headings start with AZMET.

So what would you leave it as

AZMET Tecnología de lixiviación básica (AZ-BLT)

This sounds strange. Could you give your opinion please?

Explanation:
Yo le pondría una coma, después de AZMET.

Si AZMET es un acrónimo, tal vez incluiría una explicación parentética la primera vez que apareciera, pero por lo demás, creo que no hay problema con ponerlo a gusto del cliente.

Saludos cordiales.
