Outokumpu's technology for the largest zinc plant in the Islamic Republic of Iran

Outokumpu Technology will design and supply technology for a 100,000 t/y zinc plant for Iran Zinc Production Company in cooperation with Kahanroba (Iran), ABB (Switzerland) and TAIM (Spain).

The cooperation group will deliver the new plant on a turnkey basis. The total contract value is approximately 200 million euros, of which Outokumpu's share is some 40 million. Outokumpu Technology's scope covers the process technology, proprietary equipment, engineering and project services.

The new plant will use Outokumpu's modern Direct Leaching technology and it will be built near Anguran zinc and lead mine in the northwest province of Zanjan. When operational the plant will be the largest zinc plant in Iran and increase the zinc production capacity of the country by 75 per cent.
