Posted by greywolf45 12/9/2005 3:01 AM | remove   They were there, but out of the way while a pour was going on. This is not slag being drained off in this picture, but molten ore. The slag is drawn off at the main furnace. Sadly, much of what you see has been gone for almost 7 years now. The smelting of the copper ore is done elsewhere. It was an awsome sight Posted by greywolf45 12/9/2005 3:03 AM | remove   If you will look to the right of the converter that's pouring molten ore, you'll see two operators monitoring the pour.
