Metso launches Water Treatment Skids for industrial process water

Metso is introducing Water Treatment Skids (WTS) for efficient and reliable water treatment in industrial settings, like mining, metallurgical and chemical processing.

Water Treatment Skids, which are part of the Metso Plus offering, use centrifugal separation and self-cleaning filtration to remove particles and solids. With automated controls and a compact, modular design, these skids provide plug-and-play installation with essential connections.

“The primary reason for developing Water Treatment Skids was to address the need for efficient water treatment solutions in industrial settings,” explained Artem Makarov, product manager for Industrial Water Treatment Plants at Metso. ”WTS are primarily used to treat thickener overflow from solids and efficiently meet the clean water supply needs in thickening  and dewatering areas, such as sealing water for pumps, chemical dilution and filter wash waters.”

In minerals processing, Water Treatment Skids are an efficient alternative to discharging the thickener overflow to a pond and reclaiming it from there. Water Treatment Skids can also be installed in other industrial process water streams, such as cleaning and other areas of the plants, to enable safe and beneficial water reuse.
