PRESS RELEASE: The Boliden Rönnskär plant is one of the world's most efficient copper smelters. The new absorption section designed by Outotec will be able to process the future gas volume from the upstream smelting process with high energy recovery.

Outotec's deliveries will take place in the second half of 2019.

The order has been booked in Outotec's 2018 June quarter order intake. Typically orders of this size and scope are valued at over €10 million (US$11.5 million).
