President Shavkat Mirziyoyev visited the copper concentrate filtration facility constructed at Almalyk Mining and Metallurgical Complex.

The production capacity of the facility, which is part of Copper Processing Plant No. 3, is approximately 917,000 tons of copper concentrate per year. It is equipped with modern industrial press filters, pumping units, and slurry and water circulation systems. The equipment is manufactured in accordance with international standards and is characterized by high productivity and energy efficiency.

Construction is currently complete, with three of the facility's five press filters commissioned and two more undergoing commissioning.

The filtration facility handles processes such as receiving copper concentrate after flotation, thickening and filtering the concentrate, separating and returning settled water to the process, and storing the finished copper concentrate or transferring it to the next processing stage.

Approximately 130 employees currently work here.

The President inspected the production process and finished products and spoke with the workers.

The copper concentrate sampling ceremony was also held here with the President's participation. The samples were placed in two containers, which were sent to the AMMC Museum and the State Geological Museum in Tashkent.
