New Proudly South African smelting technology, which uses 70% less electricity, cuts costs, slashes carbon emissions and can process low-grade material, has all the attributes needed to win back the top ferroalloy production renown that South Africa enjoyed in the not too distant past. The inventive new green, clean, economically competitive, locally patented smelting technology, which is tried, tested and proven, needs only 1.2 MW of power to produce a ton of ferrochrome compared with the conventional 4 MW of power needed to do so.
