OUTOTEC OYJ PRESS RELEASE, JULY 14, 2011 AT 1:00 PM
Outotec to deliver alumina calcination technology to Ma'aden Alcoa joint venture
in Saudi Arabia
Outotec has agreed with Ma'aden Bauxite Alumina Company, a joint venture between
Saudi Arabian Mining Company (Ma'aden) and Alcoa in Saudi Arabia, on the
delivery of two calciners to the joint venture's integrated aluminum complex at
Ras Al Khair (formerly Ras Az Zawr), Saudi Arabia. The overall investment cost
for the calciners is approximately EUR 62 million, out of which roughly EUR 50
million will be booked in Outotec's order intake in the third quarter.
Outotec's scope of delivery includes process technology and design, civil work,
detail engineering and construction as well as spare parts for the two alumina
calciners, each with a capacity of 3,500 tonnes of alumina per day. The project
is scheduled to be completed at the end of 2013.
"Outotec® calcination technology is clearly the industry benchmark thanks to its
very low energy consumption, and I am confident that our partner will also
benefit from very low emission levels as well as the sustainable use of raw
materials, reliable operation, high material recovery and low lifetime costs.
Our strong experience in large projects is demonstrated by the fact that we have
designed and delivered the world's largest sulfuric acid plant complex for
Ma'aden at the same Ras Al Khair site and our track record includes over 50
alumina calciners worldwide", notes Outotec CEO Pertti Korhonen.
