Outotec has been awarded a contract for the delivery of minerals processing technology to a new copper concentrator to be built in Turkey. The contract value booked in Outotec’s 2017 fourth quarter order intake is approximately EUR 13 million.

Outotec’s scope includes engineering of the concentrator and the delivery of main process equipment including a semi-autogenous and a ball mill, a HIGmill® for regrinding, pumps, thickeners, flotation cells, analyzers, and automation. Outotec’s deliveries will start in the first half of 2018.

“This order is another good example of continuous trust placed in Outotec’s expertise: We have been part of the process development starting from the testing of ore samples and now will deliver engineering and process equipment for the plant”, says Kimmo Kontola, head of Outotec’s Minerals Processing business.
