Tenova offers technologically advanced Electric Arc Furnaces (EAFs) and Top Blown Rotary Converters (TBRCs) tailored for primary and secondary processing of materials. Using an EAF for auto-catalyst recycling offers numerous benefits and features.

EAFs are highly efficient, capable of processing large volumes of spent auto-catalysts quickly while ensuring high metal recovery rates for precious metals. These furnaces are energy-efficient, reducing overall energy consumption and operational costs. Their flexibility allows them to handle a wide range of feed materials, making them suitable for various types and blends of auto-catalysts, e-waste and concentrates. EAFs are environmentally friendly, producing fewer emissions and pollutants compared to traditional methods, and their automated operations improve safety and efficiency. The durable construction of EAFs ensures long-term reliability, making them a cost-effective and sustainable solution for auto-catalyst recycling.

TBRCs offer numerous benefits, including improved heat transfer and accelerated reactions facilitated by vessel rotation. The burner system generates an intense, stable, and compact flame, ensuring efficient heat transfer and low exhaust volume flow. These converters provide precise control over oxygen and fuel ratios, allowing for the creation of reducing, neutral, or oxidizing conditions as needed. The precision tilting facility ensures quick cycle times and simplifies charging processes. The absence of submerged lances and tuyeres increases shell life and simplifies operating procedures, making the TBRCs both efficient and user-friendly.
