Innovation is integral to every part of the silicon metal furnace design; the shell and refractory lining designs eliminate the need for bottom cooling systems. Depending on customer needs composite or pre-baked electrode technology may be used, giving maximum flexibility.

In addition to the conventional positive pressure bag house used in the past, Tenova has also developed a negative pressure reverse air bag house that is needed for continuous environmental emission monitoring.

Electrical design gives customers a wide operating window for their plants, a key feature in this day and age where raw material supply chain may be disrupted at short notice.
