Outotec has been awarded a contract by Minera Chinalco Peru for the supply of thickening technology to the Toromocho copper project. The mine has an estimated annual capacity of 250,000t of copper concentrate with molybdenum and silver by-products. The contract value is approximately €11 million.
Outotec's scope includes design, fabrication and delivery of four Outotec paste thickeners, each 43m in diameter. The thickeners feature Outotec Vane Feedwell technology and concentric shear thinning systems. The technology package also includes six concentrate thickeners of various diameters and spare parts for start-up and commissioning. The deliveries will take place by the end of 2010.
Brandt Henriksson, Outotec’s global thickener technology manager said: "This contract is a great example of Outotec's ability to deliver paste thickeners and shear thinning devices, combined with Outotec's vast expertise in modular structures. This will meet the demanding restrictions in transportation dimensions and will reduce the installation time to the minimum in challenging conditions of the Peruvian Andes.”
