Outotec VSF® technology is the result of the continuous development of own mixer-settler technology. It has been designed to run at minimum operating costs, ensuring high profitability even during times of copper price fluctuations.
In VSF® technology, pumping and mixing are carried out as separate processes. VSF® technology has three key elements:
- A Dispersion Overflow Pump, Outotec DOP®
- A set of two Outotec SPIROK® mixers
- Proprietary settler design including Outotec DDG® fences
Outotec Cooling Towers are utilised as a part of gypsum removal process, which is required at some solvent extraction plants.
