Case: Filter refurbish at Cosmos Nickel
Cosmos upgraded & optimized its processing
plant for increasing production targets in 2009
Bottlenecks included a 17-year-old Larox
pressure filter, badly corroded, limited life left
Challenge: an upgrade and modernization was
not in Cosmos’s best long term interests, and
delivering a new one would take too long
Solution: second-hand filter was found in
England, refurbished, successfully installed &
began operating the first week of August 2009
Allows 30% more capacity and 15 more years of
operation
“I was more than happy with the services Outotec provided,
particularly in the way they followed up. They were here
night and day as soon as we shut the old filter off“
Stewart Keenan , Cosmos’s maintenance superintendent
