Green vision
Committed to reducing the impact of our refining practices.
Our facilities are equipped with machinery that minimises the impact on the environment, and the refinery is certified to ISO 14001:2015.
Our Green VisionAcid fumes treatment
A three-stage scrubbing system neutralises every volatile acid substance, including sulfur oxides (SOx), nitrogen oxides (NOx) and hydrochloric acid (HCl).
Smelting fumes
During melting and incineration, fumes pass through a post-burner to break down dioxins and hydrochloric acid, then through sleeve filters to capture fine dust.
Water treatment
Refining waters are treated to recover base metals — copper, zinc, iron, lead and cadmium — then decalcified and reused within the factory as industrial water.
