The new system, which is suitable for greenfield and brownfield installations, has an impressive SO2 (sulphur dioxide) gas capture capability of 99%, minimising the environmental impact. The modular design enables quick on-site assembly, so the system is ready to use with minimum plant downtime.
“We are excited to launch the new Converter Hood System. Besides its excellent gas capture capability, the system design ensures a well-controlled ingress air flow that improves process gas quality. The primary converter hood’s advanced water-cooling system increases process reliability and improves safety in the converter aisle, while also reducing maintenance needs and prolonging equipment lifetime,” explains Jonny Eliasson, director, precious metals at Metso Outotec.
