OUTOTEC OYJ PRESS RELEASE, MARCH 31, 2016 AT 12:30 PM
Outotec awarded a sulfuric acid plant contract from Boliden Harjavalta
Outotec has agreed with the Sweden-based mining and smelting company Boliden on
the main design and delivery of proprietary equipment for a sulfuric acid plant
to be built in connection with the Harjavalta nickel and copper smelter in
Finland. The order has been booked in Outotec's 2016 first quarter order intake,
the value is not disclosed.
The Boliden Harjavalta plant is one of the largest nickel-copper smelters in
Europe. The new gas cleaning and sulfuric acid plant solutions designed by
Outotec will process off-gas from the smelters into high grade industrial
sulfuric acid. The plant will meet all of the current and planned European
environmental requirements through innovative gas cleaning, production of
sulfuric acid and highly efficient heat recovery system. In order to recover as
much energy as possible, the heat recovery system uses the surplus heat of the
SO(2) converter and turns it into high-pressure steam. The surplus heat from the
drying and absorption section of the acid plant is converted into hot water and
then supplied to the adjacent power plant for further use.
The first construction phase of the sulfuric acid plant is expected to be
operational in May-June 2018.
"We are extremely pleased that our long-term partner Boliden awarded us this
order. Outotec's advanced gas cleaning and sulfuric acid plant solution will
improve the environmental performance of the Harjavalta smelter and reduce the
need for external energy, which will shorten the payback time of the
investment," says Robin Lindahl, Head of Outotec's Metals, Energy & Water
business unit.
