Zincobre developed the first octagonal tower with interchangeable demister in 2002. The first octagonal towers were installed in 2003 at the Lane Xang Minerals, Ltd. copper plant in Sepon, Laos.
This gave rise to the ZACT© technology (Zincobre Atmospheric Cooling Tower) which is applied worldwide for the cooling of all kinds of acidic and basic solutions and with high content of solids
Zincobre Ingenieria S.L. is a world leader in the design, manufacture, installation and commissioning of Atmospheric Cooling Towers, ZACT© with highly innovative patented technology that allows the cooling of fluids with high content in solids. We have extensive experience in revamping projects of existing cooling towers increasing performance with minimal investment.
The Technology subject to ZACT© is under the copyright (© Register number 05/2006/332) and patent number PCT/ES2010/070781
The design of Zincobre Atmospheric Cooling Towers (ZACT©) meets the optimum requests of the operators of Chemical and Metallurgical Smelters to maintain on a nearly permanent basis the cooling efficiency of the ZACT´s.
