Recordist's notes
Industrial soundscape near the Thy-Marcinelle wire drawing factory. 0:26 - Electric arc furnace reduce the scrap to cast iron. 12:19 - Pure oxygen is injected in the Bessemer converter, it's a treatment of molten metal sulfides to produce steel and slag. 19:58 - Unloading the scrap of the ELAN from LEMMER (nl) IMO 244620898. 28:04 - Again the electric furnace. 47:33 - Again the Bessemer converter. Good luck for the listening. Only one reassuring word : there's no neighborhood.
