Abstract:

Teck Metals Ltd. operates an integrated zinc-lead complex at Trail, British Columbia, Canada. Since 1997, KIVCET flash smelting technology has been utilized for the treatment of zinc plant residues and lead concentrates. A review of the first 18 years of operation with respect to furnace integrity is presented with focus on challenges and successes associated with increasing furnace component reliability to increase process safety and campaign life between cold shutdowns.
