Metso is awarded with a thickener modernisation order

The retrofits will enhance equipment performance, thereby reducing operating costs and increasing operational efficiency.

The total value of the order is around €15 million and it is the largest services order Metso has received for a thickener modernisation. Approximately €11 million is recorded in the minerals segment's first-quarter orders received for 2025; the remaining amount will be accounted for in the two subsequent quarters.

The scope of supply includes retrofitting another supplier’s two thickeners by replacing the existing thickeners with Metso High Rate Thickeners. A key component of this modernisation effort is the integration of Metso's Reactorwell™ feed system, which is part of the Metso Plus portfolio. The innovative sustainable technology is designed to enhance thickener performance while reducing flocculant consumption. Metso will also provide flocculant dosing units as part of a comprehensive package, facilitating accurate chemical dosing, ensuring optimal thickener performance and smooth operational integration.

Felipe Bañados, Vice President, Beneficiation and Dewatering Services, Product Commercial Support at Metso, says:

“Improving the water recovery rates and decreasing the process water consumption will greatly enhance equipment performance, reduce operating costs, and increase operational efficiency. This strategic alliance highlights Metso's dedication as a solution provider in increasing the Metso Plus footprint and fostering strong regional relationships. We are confident this project will set a new benchmark for thickener modernisation, significantly enhancing the efficiency and sustainability of our customer's operations.”
