Finland-based Metso launched the third-generation OKTOP cooling tower to tackle key customer challenges in demanding slurry and electrolyte cooling duties in metals refining. The new cooling tower combined Metso's proven technology with a compact footprint suitable for brownfield installations, easy maintenance, and quick installation. It offered maximum value with a simplified design and the lowest emissions in the market as part of the Metso Plus offering.
"The third-generation OKTOP Cooling Tower is designed for maximum efficiency and minimized downtime and maintenance costs. It offers an installation footprint that is up to 70% smaller while maintaining superior cooling power compared to the previous generation," Valter Mangs, product manager for cooling towers at Metso, stated.
"The improved design prevents the recirculation of warm off gas, ensuring optimal cooling efficiency and improved overall performance. In addition, as the world's first self-cleaning cooling tower, it ensures the longest operational intervals in the market."
