The acquisition of the filter technology will not involve the transfer of any personnel from Australian Process Technology, a supplier of filters for the alumina refining industry.
“Outotec is a major provider of alumina refining plants. This acquisition of the VPF technology complements our portfolio of filtration and thickening technologies and our capability to offer comprehensive solutions and services to the alumina industry,” said Outotec CEO Pertti Korhonen.
Outotec acquired Larox filters in 2010.
