Converter gas cleaning and recovery system
Enhance energy recovery and emissions control by capturing and cleaning CO-laden gases in steelmaking, transforming environmental challenges into opportunities for efficiency and sustainability.
The Converter Gas Cleaning and Recovery System using the Lurgi-Thyssen (LT) Steel Gas process is engineered to enhance steelmaking operations through efficient gas recovery and environmental stewardship. Employing a dry electrostatic precipitator, this system captures and converts CO-rich gases generated during the conversion of hot metal into steel. It features a unique cylindrical-type precipitator for fine dust collection and an integrated gas recovery system that reduces energy consumption through waste gas cooling and conditioning.
This state-of-the-art system is ideal for steel manufacturers and metallurgical plants aiming to optimize energy recovery and reduce emissions. It efficiently produces cleaner industrial gas, recovers energy as steam, and captures carbon monoxide gas. With its capability for continuous, high-efficiency operation, the system supports seamless integration into existing production lines.
The LT-Process system operates automatically with features like a movable skirt to safeguard gas integrity, a specialized gas conditioning tower for cooling, and an axial flow fan to ensure consistent gas flow. Its robust design eliminates the need for wastewater or sludge treatment, aligning with modern environmental protection standards. For ease of maintenance, the system includes advanced dust removal mechanisms and offers customization for varying industrial needs.
