As part of the Krivoy Rog environmental program, Metinvest's Severny GOK will upgrade five electrostatic precipitators on the LURGI 552 A roasting machine, which, according to the company's press service, will reduce dust emissions into the atmosphere by three times.
Instead of obsolete equipment, dry cleaning electrostatic precipitators from ZVVZEnvenEngineering will be used. Their design is based on corona and collecting electrodes, which will provide high trapping power.
The amount of investment in new gas cleaning equipment is about UAH 500 million.
“We experiment annually with the use of chemical and natural minerals to anchor the dusty tailings maps. In 2019 alone, UAH 2.1 billion was allocated for the implementation of the environmental program, ”said Andrey Skachkov, Acting General Director of Severny GOK.
PJSC "Northern Mining and Processing Plant" is the largest mining enterprise in Europe with a complete cycle of preparation of blast furnace raw materials - iron ore concentrate (iron content 66%) and pellets (iron content 62.3% and 63%).
