SUMMARY:Greening Ironmaking – State of the art environmental and energy efficiency solutions for agglomeration and direct reduction plants
DESCRIPTION:Energy and environmental technologies become a decisive factor for iron and steel industry. Emissions as well as energy efficiency directives are issued by every government in the world and the requirements become more stringent from year to year. For sinter plants the patented MEROS® technology has become a recognized solution and has recently been extended to by-product treatment to achieve almost zero waste. For direct reduction technologies dry dedusting and waste heat recovery are also the basis for modern production.

The dry gas cleaning technology (MEROS) reduces the emissions of SO2, heavy metals and dioxins from sinter plants safely below the required emission levels all around the world. Such low emission levels are maintained by a multi-component additive injection upstream of a high-performance fabric filter, while the installation of a (selective) waste recirculation technology minimizes the investment cost for the gas treatment and reduces the fuel consumption. 

Residues and by-products arising from the gas treatment are often disposed, leading to consumption of valuable landfilling volume and high cost. The innovative leaching process is closely linked to the MEROS plant and reduces on site the residue volume to a minimum. The proposed solutions can be applied to existing and greenfield plants. This novel residual treatment technology has been applied in past year at a Japanese steel plant.

Direct reduction technologies will see a booming market perspective due to their significant reduction of carbon dioxide emissions compared with other ironmaking technologies. A new dry dedusting system based ceramic filter elements as well as waste heat recovery boiler helps plant operators to undershoot all emission and energy efficiency requirements. 

The paper will summarize state-of-the-art environmental solutions as well as achievable performance figures including operational results and give an overview on the latest executed projects in a brown-field as well in a green-field environment.
