Smelter Retrofit

  Our Activities  /  Our operations  /  Smelter Retrofit
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.
