Metso reintroduces technology for efficient quenching of off-gas
Metso is reintroducing the OtoVent off-gas treatment technology for the quenching of various types of off-gases in non-ferrous and ferrous metallurgical processes and in oil, gas and chemical plants. OtoVent technology is used, for example, at the most modern copper smelters.
OtoVent has high quenching and pre-dedusting capability, and the design ensures minimum maintenance effort. The compact size makes it suitable for both greenfield and brownfield installations and it is an exceptional replacement for existing quenchers.
“We are excited to reintroduce OtoVent. The Venturi-shape design ensures complete cooling of gas, effectively protecting downstream equipment. In addition, it ensures excellent pre-dedusting. Thanks to the compact equipment design, maintenance needs are minimized,” explains Leif Skilling, Director, Gas Cleaning at Metso.
Metso has extensive experience in Gas Cleaning Plant design and construction, developed over several decades and enhanced by the company’s continued activities in the research and development of the process.
