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
