Abstract: A method of manufacturing a solvent extraction settler comprises manufacturing at the site of manufacture, such as in an engineering workshop, a plurality of self-supporting settler element modules (2, 3, 4, 5) each having exterior dimensions, strength and handling and securing means (6) conforming to shipping container standards, transporting the modules (2, 3, 4, 5) to the site of installation as normal freight by transport equipment, such as trucks, trailers and container ships, capable of handling and transporting shipping container standard compatible units, and assembling the modules (2, 3, 4, 5) into a complete settler at the site of installation. The settler comprises a module group (1) consisting of a plurality of self-supporting settler element modules (2, 3, 4, 5) each having exterior dimensions, strength and handling and securing means (6) conforming to ISO shipping container standards to enable ISO compatible transportability.

Abstract: A solvent extraction method for hydrometallurgical liquid-liquid extraction processes, in which method solution phases are separated from a dispersion while the dispersion flows horizontally in a settler from a feed end to a discharge end. The mass flow of the dispersion and solution phases is divided into a plurality of parallel and mutually separated plug flows flowing in the settler from the feed end to the discharge end. The settler (1) comprises a plurality of elongated settler sections (4) which are mutually separated and side by side in parallel to each other, Inc settler sections (4) extending from the feed end (2) to the discharge end (3), forming a plurality of mutually separated parallel plug flow channels.

Abstract: The invention relates to a drive supporting structure (1) for a tank (2). The drive supporting structure (1) comprises a drive support element (3) for supporting a drive (30) and a support beam structure (4) for supporting the drive support element (3). The support beam structure (4) is arranged on top side of the tank (2) and comprises multiple support beams (5). The drive support element (3) comprises housing (6), which said housing (6) is fabricated by casting. The support beam structure (4) is detachably connected to the drive support element (3) for forming a connection between the drive support element (3) and the support beam structure (4). The invention further relates to a drive support element (3) for supporting a drive in a tank (2). The drive support element (3) comprises housing (6), which is fabricated by casting.

Abstract: Equipment to be placed in the settler (6) of liquid-liquid extraction. The equipment comprises an overflow chute (10) for receiving a first solution as an overflow from the settler; a first outlet box (15) that is placed on a lower level than the overflow chute and arranged to receive the first solution from the overflow chute; a collecting chute (12) that is positioned adjacently with the overflow chute for receiving the second solution as an underflow from the settler; rising pipes (13) that extend from the collecting chute to the settler for conducting the second solution to the collecting chute; level control valves (14) arranged in the rising pipes for adjusting the level of the second solution; and a second outlet box (15) that is placed on a lower level than the collecting chute and arranged to receive the second solution from the collecting chute.
