Abstract

In 1998, the Boliden Limited board of directors voted to modernize the Ronnskar copper smelter and refinery to expand production from 130,000 t/y to 230,000 t/y cathodes. Heavy involvement from operations and management was maintained during the modernization project, enabling the realization of project goals while maintaining full production schedules. Early start-up data indicate a smooth transition from the old to the new units.
