The Problem Is Getting More Expensive Every Year
Landfill costs across North America have jumped 37% in the past five years — and tighter restrictions on hazardous waste disposal aren’t slowing down. Traditional incineration? It creates its own headaches: dioxin emissions, toxic flue gas, and particulate levels that keep running into EPA Title 40 compliance walls.
Meanwhile, the nickel slag, aluminum dross, red mud, fly ash, and electroplating sludge piling up at your facility aren’t just disposal costs — they’re untapped revenue sitting on the ground.
There’s a smarter play.
Meet the Younengde DC Submerged Arc Furnace
One system. Total waste destruction. Maximum metal recovery. Minimum operating cost.
Our DC submerged arc furnace combines high-temperature melting, hazardous waste neutralization, and valuable metal recovery into a single integrated process — giving North American industrial operators a clear path to compliance, profitability, and sustainability all at once.
🔥 10,000°C Arc Core — Nothing Survives Operating at 1,600–2,000°C sustained melt temperatures (with arc core temps reaching 10,000°C), our furnace completely destroys dioxins, neutralizes heavy metals, and locks them permanently into a stable glassy matrix.
♻️ Up to 99% Metal Recovery Copper, lead, nickel, cobalt, gold, silver, platinum-group metals — our system separates and recovers them during the melt process, not after. Processed slag can be reused as concrete aggregate or road base, achieving a true zero-landfill outcome.
🔒 Fully Enclosed, Negative-Pressure Operation A sealed furnace chamber running at negative pressure captures 99.5% of flue gas and harmful emissions before they can escape. No secondary contamination. No neighbor complaints. No regulatory surprises.
⚡ 15–20% Less Energy. 35% Less Electrode Wear. Our DC technology delivers a natural power factor of 0.95–0.98 with no reactive power compensation required. In a high-electricity-cost market like North America, that difference adds up fast. Typical payback period: 2–3 years.
🤖 Smart PLC Control — Run It and Forget It Automatic arc regulation, closed-loop temperature control, and remote diagnostics come standard. Continuous, stable operation with no arc interruptions means more uptime, lower maintenance costs, and a crew that isn’t babysitting the furnace.
📐 50 kVA to 30,000 kVA — Scaled to Your Operation Whether you’re running a regional waste processing hub or a large-scale industrial smelting complex, we engineer the system around your throughput and waste profile — not the other way around.
| Waste Type | Typical Source | Recoverable Value |
|---|---|---|
| Nickel Slag / Nickel Sludge | Electroplating, stainless steel | Nickel, cobalt |
| Aluminum Dross / Aluminum Slag | Aluminum processing, foundries | Aluminum metal |
| Red Mud | Alumina refining | Iron, titanium, rare earths |
| Fly Ash / Bottom Ash | Waste incinerators, coal plants | Inert vitrified aggregate |
| Electroplating Sludge | Surface finishing operations | Copper, chromium, zinc |
| Waste PCBs / E-Scrap | Electronics recycling | Gold, silver, PGMs |
| Grinding Wheel Ash | Precision manufacturing | Embedded metal recovery |
| Chemical / Hazardous Waste | Chemical, pharma industries | Safe neutralization & volume reduction |
