Finnish plantmaker Outotec has announced that it will deliver sintering and ferrochrome smelting technology for the expansion of Finnish stainless producer Outokumpu's ferrochrome plant in Tornio, Finland for approximately €45 million. The new sintering plant and smelter will double Outokumpu's ferrochrome production capacity.

The scope of the order received by Outotec includes engineering of the sintering plant and the smelter as well as delivery of key process equipment. The new sintering plant will annually process 600,000 mt of chromite concentrate into pellets to be used as feed to a 100 MW ferrochrome furnace, which will be the world's largest and most efficient furnace of its kind. The deliveries will take place in 2011 and the first half of 2012.

"We have been involved in the technology development and our close cooperation with Outokumpu continues now when doubling the production capacity of the plant using our technology," said Outotec CEO Pertti Korhonen.
