Abstract: FeSi is the main reagent used in HMS plant and is consumption is it the key parameter in cost analysis. Optimal choice of this reagent allow management to increase both plant performance and profitability of operations. In this article, we are going to compare three types of FeSi 270D mainly used in HMS plant in former Katangas province.
