A panoramic overview of the inside of the Port Kembla Copper Refinery from the Center Machine Bay. P.I. International, Inc ( www.p-i-international.com ) is marketing the assets for PKC Copper Australia. Video taken in June 2008.
this is electolytic nickel that we produce as well ...amazing how close the refining is, everything you explain is the same in relation to the nickel industry
wow ...I would never of imagined that copper refining could be almost the same as nickel refinery. I work for Vale INCO in Thompson Manitoba Canada. Although Your Tankhouse is modernized, our is not, we still pull anodes with the use of a bridge crane as well as cathodes and production, we straighten strip and make starter sheets by hand. Rather laborious. They tell us that we are going fully modern ..but who knows when!! I would love to learn more of your process!
This site was amazing happy that I got to see it before it was demolished.
