Outotec® Electrowinning Process provides user-friendly, environmentally sound and optimized solutions for zinc production based on proprietary technologies.
Outotec has many years of experience in supplying zinc electrolysis processes and equipment for greenfield plants and modernizations, based on its own process knowledge, continuous R&D and technology.
Outotec is therefore the right partner for building an efficient, productive and safe electrowinning plant with optimized cathode and cell sizes, current densities, busbars, and an automatic material flow of cathodes. The material management system, with key equipment such as automatic cathode stripping machines, anode washing and flattening machines and cellhouse cranes, ensures safe material flow and the smooth harvesting of cathodes with the minimum labor force. Outotec® Tankhouse Information Management System is a new and modern data collection, reporting and management system for all tankhouse operations. It integrates process control, Outotec® Material Handling System and Outotec CellSense™ monitoring system, providing powerful and on-line material-, quality- and efficiency-tracking features together with easy access to tankhouse data. Significant benefits are gained in increasing the energy efficiency and product quality as well as improving maintenance and safety.
The degree of the machine and the process automation is optimized to the customer’s requirements. In addition to reliable production of the highest quality zinc, significant savings in electricity, maintenance, personnel and investment costs are realized.
Outotec's compact tankhouse layout minimizes space requirements and maximizes production efficiency. Our tankhouse is suitable for upgrade and modernization projects. We can offer a complete technology package to provide reliable and trouble-free operation for the entire life cycle of the plant.
