Project Volcano
FY 2019-20 · 2019-10-14
Summary
Project Volcano involves the design of the feed subsystem for our atomization reactors. The key deliverable of this project is conversion of large low-cost ingots of feed alloy into inclusion-free molten metal, then metered into the high-efficiency pre-commercial "Yukon" reactor, currently in development. The system is nominally specified to feed 30kg of molten material/hr, at a level of purity not commercially available. The project will drive up our process longevity and reduce process downtime. Currently, our process involves costly cutting, machining, polishing and otherwise processing raw alloys that must be eliminated to improve the cost economics of our process.

Description
Project Volcano involves the design of the feed subsystem for our atomization reactors. The key deliverable of this project is conversion of large low-cost ingots of feed alloy into inclusion-free molten metal, then metered into the high-efficiency pre-commercial "Yukon" reactor, currently in development. The system is nominally specified to feed 30kg of molten material/hr, at a level of purity not commercially available. The project will drive up our process longevity and reduce process downtime. Currently, our process involves costly cutting, machining, polishing and otherwise processing raw alloys that must be eliminated to improve the cost economics of our process.
Description (French)
Le projet Volcano comporte la conception du sous-système d'alimentation de nos réacteurs d'atomisation. Le principal produit livrable de ce projet est la conversion de gros lingots d'alliage d'alimentation à faible coût en métal en fusion sans inclusion, puis le comptage dans le réacteur précommercial à haut rendement « Yukon », actuellement en cours d'élaboration. Le système est nominalement spécifié pour alimenter 30 kg de matière fondue/h, à un niveau de pureté non disponible sur le marché. Le projet augmentera la longévité de nos procédés et réduira les temps d'arrêt des procédés. À l'heure actuelle, notre procédé implique la coupe, l'usinage, le polissage et le traitement d'alliages bruts qui doivent être éliminés afin d'améliorer la rentabilité de notre procédé.
