Chinese tin manufacturer Yunan Tin corporation Limited (YTCL) announced that they their plant has achieved full capacity, only one month after its maiden heat-up.

The plant which uses Ausmelt’s top submerged lance (TSL) technology was designed to produce 25,000 tonnes of time per year and is the second largest tin smelter in the world.

The short ramp up period compares extremely favourably to the normal six to twelve months. It also provides operations who employ the technology revenue benefits as they are able to sell a greater amount of product sooner than if they used other technologies which require longer ramp ups.

The new furnace replaces the 15 reverbatory furnaces that were previously used by YTCL and has been viewed as an outstanding success by the client.
