Smelter Retrofit
The smelter retrofitting will result in the following main changes to the smelting process:
Phasing out the old primary smelting technology namely, Reverberatory furnace and replacing it with a Double-Sided Blown (DSB) electric furnace in order to improve process efficiencies and gas capture to comply with the Environmental Emissions legislations.
Converting the sulphuric Acid Plant from single contact and single absorption into double contact and double absorption in order to increase SO2 conversion.
An oxygen plant with a capacity of 8066Nm3/hr oxygen to supply the DSB furnace with oxygen.
Converter slag cooling plant for handling converter slag to prepare it for recycling.
