PRESS RELEASE: The order value, approximately €33 million (US$40.8 million), is booked in Outotec's 2018 March quarter order intake.
Outotec's scope includes the delivery of three skid mounted, modular sulphuric acid plants that will produce the acid and SO2 gas required in the process of the new Mutoshi copper-cobalt plant. The plant concept, based on Outotec's technology and expertise gained from 650 plants delivered globally, ensures the many benefits of modular prefabricated plant delivery, such as low investment, installation and operation cost, increased availability and maintainability as well as environmentally sound and safe operation.
The order complements the €65 million copper and cobalt processing technology delivery to the Mutoshi project Outotec announced in December 2017.
Kalle Härkki, head of Outotec's metals, energy & water business, said: “We really look forward to working with Shalina Resources in the Mutoshi project, and are extremely pleased that we can complete our diverse technology package for the copper and cobalt processing now with sulphuric acid plants. These modular plants represent our latest technology, and remarkably improve the environmental performance of the plant.”
