Metso receives large filtration equipment order from India

Metso has received an order to deliver sustainable filtration technology for a long-distance iron ore slurry pipeline project. The technology will be used for concentrate filtration to produce iron ore pellets from pellet plants in India. The order value, which is not disclosed, is booked in the Minerals segment’s 2024 fourth-quarter orders received.  

Metso’s scope of delivery consists of the engineering, manufacturing and supply of 16 Larox® FFP3512 filters, slurry feed and filtrate pumps, as well as installation and commissioning advisory services and spare parts.
