Hatch and BHP partner to design electric smelting furnace

Australian mining company BHP has partnered with global engineering firm Hatch to design an electric smelting furnace (ESF) pilot plant, cited for construction in Australia.

The facility aims to demonstrate a pathway to lower CO2 intensity in steel production using iron-ore from BHP’s Pilbara mines for the company’s steelmaking customers.

The small-scale demonstration plant will be used to collaborate with steel producers and technology providers to generate and share learnings with the aim of accelerating scale-up of ESF plant designs.
