Atlantic Copper Smelter SO2 Emissions Testing

Client: Atlantic Copper
Location: Huelva, Spain

Roofline SO₂ emissions study to evaluate current smelter fugitive emissions and compare them to historical campaigns from 2013 and 2014. Testing covered the flash furnace, electric furnace, matte tapping, ladle cleaning, converter aisle, and anode furnaces.

Key Objectives Included:

• Quantify SO₂ emissions by process area and activity type (primary vs. secondary)
• Identify the main contributors to total roofline emissions
• Assess capture efficiency and highlight opportunities for improvement
• Provide comparative analysis of SO₂ and PM emissions against past testing
