Steel & Metallurgy

Steel & Metallurgy Treatment & Conveying Configuration

Sintering, blast furnace cast house, converter and rolling mill dust, plus coal gas cleaning and ash conveying.

Working condition

Typical problems in this sector

  • Cast house and sintering dust escapes during tapping when capture hood design does not follow the actual dust source.
  • Abrasive dust blinds filter bags quickly and raises system resistance above the fan capability.
  • Large induced draft fans run at fixed speed with damper throttling for most of the campaign.
  • Coal gas and sintering flue gas need desulfurization and denitrification within a tight plot.

Recommended equipment configuration for Steel & Metallurgy
Process stageRecommended equipmentSelection point
Cast house and runner dustOffline pulse baghouse with capture hoodsGP-LCM / GP-PPC SeriesFilter area sized for abrasive dust with cloth velocity below 1.0 m/min, PTFE membrane media.
Sintering flue gasElectrostatic precipitator or baghouse plus FGD and SCRGP-ULE SeriesChoose ESP or bag filter by dust resistivity, then add desulfurization and denitrification stages.
System draftCentrifugal induced draft fan with VFDGP-4-73 / GP-9-19 SeriesPressure feedback control so the fan follows the tapping cycle instead of running at fixed speed.
Dust discharge and transferRotary airlock valve and drag chain conveyorGP-YJD-A / GP-YJD-B SeriesAirtight discharge under hoppers, enclosed conveying to the collection bin to stop secondary dust.
Ferroalloy and furnace fumeFurnace fume collection system with hood and spark arresterGP-LF / GP-ZL SeriesHood geometry follows furnace size and charging method; media and cooling stage set by measured fume temperature.
Blast furnace top gasTop gas recovery ejector systemGP-YSQ SeriesDry cleaning and ejector return of pressure equalisation and bleed-off gas to the clean gas main, interlocked with furnace control.
Pulverised coal and coke dustExplosion-proof pulse baghouseGP-MDC / GP-PPC-EX SeriesVent area, inerting and anti-static media selected per dust Kst value and hazard area classification.
Energy reductionFan and pump VFD retrofitGP-VFD SeriesRemove throttling losses on ID fans, blowers and circulating water pumps.

Energy

Energy saving measures for this sector

  • Record the load profile of each large fan before sizing a drive, because campaign changes shift the operating point.
  • Heat recovery from sintering and cooler exhaust can preheat combustion air where the layout allows.

Emission limits for sintering and cast house dust differ by region and are updated over time. Design values are set against the standard in force at the project site, and results depend on actual operating condition.
