| General | The
Overpelt plant, formerly a zinc smelting plant and now a zinc alloying
plant, is strategically located close to its main consumer markets and only
18 kilometres from Balen. The plant was founded in 1888 and the first zinc
production took place in 1893. In 1973 a lead rolling mill was installed. In
1974 the original horizontal retort zinc production process was replaced by
an electrolytic zinc plant using the goethite process. In 1992, roasting, sulphuric acid production and zinc electrolysis were discontinued in favour of the production of zinc alloys and the washing of secondary raw materials to remove impurities, which continue to be Overpelt’s activities. Both activities are highly integrated with the nearby Balen smelter. |
