Outotec to deliver zinc concentrate direct leaching technology to Boliden in
Norway
Outotec has agreed with Boliden on the delivery of zinc concentrate direct
leaching and iron precipitation technologies and site services for the expansion
of the Odda zinc production facilities in Norway. The parties have agreed not to
disclose the contract value. Typically such solutions are worth EUR 10-20
million depending on the scope. The order has been booked in Outotec's 2015
first quarter order intake.
Boliden is a leading resources company in the Nordic countries and Ireland, and
is currently investing in a capacity increase at the Odda zinc plant from
170,000 to 200,000 tonnes of zinc per annum. This plant, on the shore of
Hardangerfjord in western Norway, is committed to very strict environmental
regulations and sustainable way of operating. The plant has been using Outotec's
atmospheric zinc concentrate direct leaching process since 2004 and become a
benchmark in low emissions, high metal recoveries and operational safety.
Outotec's solution comprises the direct leaching technology, basic and detailed
engineering and delivery of proprietary OKTOP® reactor plant units for leaching
and iron precipitation as well as filters and anode handling machines. In
addition, Outotec provides extensive services starting from engineering to
installation, commissioning and start-up. The deliveries will take place during
2015 and 2016.
"We have been working closely with Boliden for decades, and we are pleased to
see that our renowned zinc concentrate direct leaching process has been chosen
for the expansion again after about 10 years of operation of this process. Our
newly designed reactors will be built with most advanced materials to ensure
highest possible overall equipment efficiency. We have also productized the
reactor plant units, including the structures and auxiliary systems, which
guarantees fast engineering and delivery time associated with good
serviceability", says Robin Lindahl, head of Metals, Energy & Water business
area at Outotec.
