Tech/Engineering - Engineering (general) / Industrial contracts | | French term or phrase: bas-fourneau | Granddictionnaire.com says that this is a 'low hearth' but I am not entirely sure this fits my current context:
Déconstruction bas fourneaux
Organisation, planification, supervision de chantier de démantèlement TCE
I am afraid this is all the context I have, as it is in a spreadsheet, a sort of list. I understand that the company in question was the main contractor in charge of general construction works in the dismantling (?) of this or these 'bas-fourneau'. I think it has something to do with smelting, metallurgy, etc. but am not sure. |

Smelter: Facility is used to extract metal concentrates found inside mined ore. The ore will often contain more than one kind of metal concentrate and this facility also separates them.

Bloom"er*y (?), n. (Manuf.) A furnace and forge in which wrought iron in the form of blooms is made directly from the ore, or (more rarely) from cast iron.

Bloomery - Very early type of Furnace for reducing Iron Ore directly into Wrought Iron. Product was of poor quality as it was never molten. Slag was generally removed by hammering, but some was inevitably left behind and trapped within the product. Superseded by Finery and Chafery Process

Bloomery Process: Also known as the 'direct reduction' method of smelting iron, this process was known from as early as 900 B.C. The ore is heated in a low, cylindrical shaft furnace, constructed of stone, fueled with charcoal, and fanned with a bellows to a temperature from 1100-1220 degrees C and reduced directly to a spongy lump, producing iron ore and large quantites of slag. Though not discovered until the 15th century, this iron could be converted to steel by leaving it within the furnace for a longer time, so that the iron spent more time in contact with carbon monoxide gas.
