Outotec Electrochemical Water Treatment

OUTOTEC ELECTROCHEMICAL WATER TREATMENT

Outotec EWT combines our unique understanding of water treatment, process BENEFITS design, electrolysis, and hydrometallurgy • Fast, efﬁ cient water treatment and in an easy-to-use solution that delivers lower residual impurities compared to efficient performance with minimal manual conventional processes • Modular design supports easy intervention and maintenance. The system relocation and expansion can process wastewater containing a diverse • Highly automated process minimizes personnel requirements and enables range of impurities using only electricity remote operation and monitoring and a combination of electrode materials. • No need to procure or handle chemicals Furthermore, the modular design makes it both easy to transport and easily scalable. COST-EFFICIENT, SUSTAINABLE WASTEWATER TREATMENT

Preventing water contamination is an important issue conventional precipitation treatment. While it features for companies in the mining and minerals processing standardized, prefabricated components that support industry as they increasingly focus on finding ways to ‘plug-and-play’ operation, each solution is customized minimize the environmental impact of their operations. according to the individual water treatment requirements Drainage from surface and underground mines, of your site. wastewaters from beneficiation, surface run-off, and acid mine drainage (AMD) are all potential sources The system is designed to be easy to operate, with a high of contamination. level of automation. This makes it possible for personnel who are not experts in water treatment to run the These different types of wastewaters can contain a diverse process. Remote operation is also possible – a significant range of impurities, including oxyanions like arsenic, advantage at sites that are difficult to access. selenium, and antimony; trace metals like copper, cadmium, nickel, and zinc; as well as sulfates, The modular EWT concept can be scaled to suit various nitrates, and cyanides. kinds of operations, from a single unit that can be added to as requirements increase, to complete plant solutions Easy to install, operate, and relocate for larger volumes. Outotec EWT has the flexibility to The modular design of Outotec electrochemical water adapt to changes in the size, scope, and even the location treatment (EWT) makes it easy to install, dismantle, of your water treatment requirements for the lifetime of and relocate. The system has been developed based on your operations. our understanding of typical customer challenges with KEY BENEFITS OVER CONVENTIONAL PRECIPITATION TREATMENT

Lower initial Lower Lower life-cycle Lower energy investment installation cost cost consumption Less equipment required Compact footprint Cost-effi cient process Energy-effi cient process means a lower initial makes installation reduces operating is more environmentally investment straightforward and costs sustainable cost-effi cient
