Outotec provides a tailings treatment solution for LKAB in Sweden
Outotec has agreed with Luossavaara-Kiirunavaara AB (LKAB) on a delivery of
technology package for thickening the tailings in the Svappavaara iron ore mine
in Sweden. The contract value is some millions of Euros.
Outotec's scope of delivery includes engineering of a tailings treatment
process, Outotec® Paste Thickener with related buildings, piping,
electrification, instrumentation and control systems as well as installation and
services for start-up and training. The new process is expected to become
operational in October 2012.
Outotec's paste thickening technology is applicable on both ferrous and non-
ferrous metals concentrator applications as well as for example in diamond
mines. Paste thickening efficiently separates water from tailings and reduces
water consumption of the mine by approximately 10 percent and space requirements
for tailings dams. Produced sluggish paste can also be used directly as a back
fill in the mine so that tailings return to their origin.
"We just recently delivered and commissioned similar solution to the Laiva gold
mine in Finland so this new order strengthens our view that the demand for
tailings treatment solutions continues to grow. Outotec's goal is to develop
sustainable solutions for tailings treatment, and this order demonstrates that
our paste thickening fulfills our customers' expectations", says Outotec CEO
Pertti Korhonen.
