Our approach
Producers of submerged arc furnace products continuously need to improve their competitive strength. They meet increasing challenges in the following areas:
- Improve productivity
- Make use of best available technology
- Energy costs
- Raw material costs
- Labour costs
- Finished product quality requirements
- Demands on working environment
- Demands on external environment
The needs of producers vary depending on their location, existing installations and local conditions. Vatvedt is able to cover a variety of needs, such as:
- Greenfield projects for production of ferro alloys and related products
- Installation of new furnaces in an existing plant
- Overhaul, upgrading and capacity increase of existing furnaces
- Capacity expansion studies
- Evaluation of furnace operation and performance improvement
- Process automation and process control
We cover the following processes:
- Ferromanganese and silicomanganese
- Ferrosilicon and ferrosilicon based alloys
- Silicon metal
- Ferrochrome
- Ferronickel
- Calcium carbide
