Valorization plant for stainless steel slag

Our new valorization plant that was built year 2010 produces steel factory’s by-products into valuable products without any disposable waste.

By concentrating slag Tapojärvi is able to separate a significant amount of valuable metals and return them to the steel factory. Of what is left Tapojärvi produces among others first class rock material.

Savings

Tapojärvi's operations save the nature and money. Metals that are received after the concentrating are valuable raw materials in producing of stainless steel. This way you can avoid waste taxes, because slag that is used in steel manufacturing doesn't end up as waste in waste tip. On the contrary Tapojärvi processes high class rock material of it.

Need for nature's virgin raw materials are reduced significantly because the rock material Tapojärvi processes is strong and solid product for example in road building. Even burnt lime is separated from the slag which reduces the need of virgin lime in the manufacturing of stainless steel.

Tapojärvi's valorization plant is unique in the whole world. It represents a new way of thinking when it comes to concentrating of stainless steel slag.
