Furnace lining and campaign life is not a function of the normal operating conditions, but of extreme operating and processing conditions.

Tenova Pyromet's high intensity MAXICOOL® copper cooler panels help to form and maintain a competent slag freeze lining and prevent wear from taking place, under both normal and extreme operating conditions. The coolers are designed with a unique tapered star pattern on the hot face of the coolers to provide support for an initial castable refractory layer, and later for the slag freeze lining.

Tenova’s COMPOSITE COPPER-GRAPHITE coolers for platinum group metal (PGM) furnace sidewalls offer a unique solution to the corrosion challenges experienced on the copper cooling elements in these furnaces. The cooler design is novel as all surfaces of the cooler are completely covered with graphite, preventing contact between the copper cooler and the sulphur- and chlorine-bearing species responsible for the corrosion.
