Smelting Technology Based on Top Submerged Lancing

Introduction

Australian company represents the processing development, patents and operating and engineering know-how accumulated in the application of top submerged lancing to a wide range of non-ferrous and ferrous smelting processes. The company is a specialised technology based company which was formed to commercialise the revolutionary Sirosmelt Top Submerged Lance (TSL) smelting method.

Area of Application

Metal industry, metalworking industry

Advantages

The technology is simple to operate, innovative and versatile, making it appropriate to use in modernising existing smelters The furnaces may be retro-fitted to existing plants to replace furnaces of older design, or added to increase plant production by treating process streams that might otherwise be discharged as waste, or by providing additional process capability not available using other systems The technology offers industry a low cost, high intensity system for smelting base metal ores and concentrates as well as recovering high value from wastes Smelting is rapid and furnace residence times are minimal yielding significantly lower capital and operating costs than alternative technologies Of particular interest is the capability of the technology to enhance the economics of smaller scale operations across a range of materials processing

Development Status

Commercialised
