We lit up our Shaft Kiln No. 3

Our QMAG production team in Parkhurst / Queensland lit up our Shaft Kiln No. 3 for Deadburned Magnesia production after a scheduled shutdown for maintenance and repairs.

We still use burning charcoal to ignite the natural gas combustion in the shaft kiln material bed because it is still the safest way to do it. And because it looks just fascinating, a small tribe of QMAG employees always gathers to witness the start of another year of uninterrupted kiln operation.
