Abstract
The Port Kembla Copper (PKC) copper smelting facilities were commissioned during 2000. Numerous difficulties were encountered during the commissioning such as multiple reactor tuyere line failures, absorbing acid tower refractory collapse, and Noranda Reactor and Mitsubishi Converter process control problems. These problems are described along with the actions taken to overcome them. Process development is described particularly for the Mitsubishi Converter and Acid Plant.
