Pyrometallurgy

Delivering high-temperature metallurgical solutions for refining and recovery.

We offer:

  • *

    Desktop and theoretical modelling studies, including process and flowsheet simulation, mass and energy balances, refractory and furnace design, numerical, thermochemical, and computational fluid dynamics modelling.

  • *

    Fundamental studies from crucible to benchtop scale testing services, ranging from 10 g up to 50 kg scales, to study pre-treatment and thermal processes such as pre-reduction, calcination, chlorination, roasting, smelting, and converting, supported by in-house chemical and mineralogical characterisation laboratories.

  • *

    Pilot-scale testing and demonstration services, ranging from 100 kg to 400 tonne demonstration capacity, with unique capabilities to demonstrate AC/DC electric furnace smelting processes continuously at scale from 30 kW to 2 MW (with or without pre-heating), as well as vertical retort, rotary kilns, and top blow rotary furnaces.
