Speaker: Bradley Fox, Metallurgist, Freeport-McMoRan Miami



Overview: In 2010 the United States Environmental Protection Agency (UESPA) revised the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) by lowering the permissible value to a 1-hour average SO2 concentration of 75 ppb.  In 2012, the USEPA designated the Miami area as non-attaining for the new SO2 NAAQS. A number of options were studied to assist in bringing the Miami smelter into attainment with the new standard.  This presentation will give an overview of Miami’s smelting operation, the facility upgrades implemented to meet the new regulation, and the resulting performance after the upgrades.
