Sofi Prima – Where clarity begins
Separation of ultra-fine particles down to 0.3 μm - removing unwanted suspended solids from process waters.
Save consumption of chemicals by 20% and maintenance costs by decreasing downtime.
Sofi Alchemist – Begins where others stop
Estimated annual loss of concentrate in dewatering and overflow processes is 15-20%.
Sofi Alchemist can recover up to 98% of that concentrate.
Recovering of ultra-fine particles up to 0.3 μm.
“As Terrafame continues to lead in low-carbon battery chemicals, we expect this filtration upgrade to play a vital role in improving further our product quality and increasing process uptime”
– Jouni Pakarinen, Terrafame
CASE EXAMPLE
Sofi Prima to Enhance Nickel Sulphate Production, Terrafame, Finland
The project centres on improving the process solution purity of nickel sulphate production by introducing the Sofi Prima solution – the world’s first ultra-sound self-cleaning filtration technology.
This milestone achievement is a major validation of Sofi Prima’s impact and relevance in the mining sector. The scope of the project includes integrating new filtration systems to address impurities in battery chemical recovery.
“Suspended solids were reduced by 88%, achieving a clear filtrate”
– Elsi Strand, Sofi Scientist
CASE EXAMPLE
Enabling process water reuse, Finland
Our customer promise includes testing and validation before customer installations.
In 2023, process water from an industrial mineral mine from Finland was successfully filtered at Sofi Filtration’s commercial lab in Espoo. Using the Sofi Filter, suspended solids were reduced by 88%, achieving a clear filtrate with just 1.2 mg/l TSS.
Our ultrasonic self-cleaning ensured consistent performance at high capacity.
Results: The high-quality filtrate is suitable for reuse in the process.
