Abstract

A metal agglomerate production configuration including an induration apparatus configured to provide a metal oxide material manufacturing thermal process (MTE) including indurating a metal ore material into a metal oxide material and a method of production of metal agglomerates. A cooler device is configured for cooling the metal oxide material discharged from the induration apparatus and includes a first heat transferring arrangement configured for transferring a first heat energy content (HE′) to the induration apparatus, which first heat energy content (HE′) is recovered from the metal oxide material holding the thermal energy (TE). The configuration includes a second heat transferring arrangement configured for transferring a second heat energy content (HE″) from the induration apparatus to the cooler device for cooling of the metal oxide material, which second heat energy content (HE″) is recovered from the metal oxide material manufacturing thermal process (MTE).
