Today, the smelter in Sauda, established in 1915, is Eramet’s producer in Eramet’s Manganese Alloys business unit, and has the highest production of refined ferromanganese. The ferromanganese slag by-product is an important input factor in the production of silicomanganese in Kvinesdal. The construction of Eramet’s first pilot plant for carbon capture is now underway in Sauda.
- Two furnaces
- Ferromanganese refining plant (Manganese Oxygen Refining – MOR)
- Ferromanganese: HC FeMn, MC FeMn 1,0-1,5%, LC FeMn 0.5% *
- By-products for external sale: MOR dust, recycled electrical and thermal energy, including district heating of public buildings, city centre streets and sports facilities. In addition, large quantities of by-products internally are circulated internally
* High Carbon, Medium Carbon, Low Carbon
