Vargon Re-Starts Ferrochrome Furnace

Etikrom has re-started one of its four furnaces at its Swedish subsidiary, Vargon has re-started one of its four furnaces and that furnace will only operate at 50% capacity. Therefore, Vargon will be operating at about 20% of its total capacity of about 230,000 tonnes per year.

The main reason to turn on that furnace is to avoid the freezing on heat recovery system and produce hot water for the community due to the contractual obligations of hot water to Vattenfall Power Company to avoid the big penalties during the upcoming winter season.
