Tech/Engineering - Energy / Power Generation / ferronickel processing
Portuguese term or phrase: fornos de redução
A report on biomass reducing agents in ferronickel processing:

No forno, esses pedaços de madeira, proporcionam o aumento de 30% no nível de pré-redução do minério, item relevante na produtividade dos fornos, e a diminuição no consumo de energia elétrica nos ***fornos de redução*** da ordem de 2,5%.

Does this translate as blast furnaces? Or something else?

Thanks!
