Safety
Safety is at the core of Tenova Pyromet's designs, reflecting our commitment to supporting our PGM clients.
Tenova Pyromet's advanced electrode system for base metal furnaces prioritizes safety by minimizing water use within the furnace and on the roof. Additionally, it ensures that copper components, such as contact shoes and pressure rings, do not come into direct contact with furnace contents.
Our COMPOSITE COPPER-GRAPHITE coolers enhance safety in PGM furnaces by addressing corrosion issues. The graphite coating on all surfaces prevents contact between copper elements and corrosive sulfur ensuring durability and safety.
The MEGtec™ alternative cooling medium enhances safety and operational reliability in high-temperature environments by improving cooling efficiency and reducing dependence on traditional water-based systems.
Our uncooled Meehanite® matte or alloy taphole faceplate designs help to eliminate water from the vicinity of the molten metal stream, thereby reducing safety risks.
The SlagFlo™ control valve enhances safety by precisely regulating the flow of molten slag and enabling remote closure of the slag tap-hole during normal and emergency operations. Featuring a water-cooled copper element and hydraulic operation, this compact and easy-to-maintain valve can be retrofitted to existing slag tap-holes with minimal modifications, ensuring improved operational safety.
