"ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih" this year continues large-scale investment project on reconstruction of the sintering plant No. 2. The total cost of works exceeds $ 170 million.
To date, the company has reconstructed three out of six sintering machines of the shop: №№ 4, 5, 6. Each – with the introduction of a modern system of gas purification, aspiration and automation. Continue hot trials of the whole complex recently renovated sinter machine No. 4 with the use of charge materials, it is now output to design capacity.
"From 2020 to 2023 the company plans to spend 700 million dollars solely for environmental activities, which are an integral part of key projects, such for example, as the construction of a new factory okomkovanija. Each of the stages of this strategy we plan to discuss with the public," - said during the presentation of the Committee of industrial ecology and sustainable development of the European business Association (EBA) Mauro Longobardo, CEO of "ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih".
In December last year began the ecological modernization of sintering machine No. 1, which made half of the total amount of work. On the sintering machine № 1, as before on sintering machines №№ 4, 5 and 6, there will be new gas sweetening from the sintering zone. Here is a modern effective precipitator of the company Ekoplant (Italy). Will be replaced specialnye truck with the possibility of increasing the layer charge of up to 450 mm, the main nodes of the linear cooler, gas manifold with automatic pulvirenti through the new double flap valves, the arrangement of a conveyor spillage. Will also install new ignition furnace with modern, energy-efficient ignition system that will be able to significantly reduce the consumption of natural gas. A distinctive feature of the reconstruction of the sintering machine in comparison with the other three was the construction of two new aspiration plants to be used not only on the product but will serve for a number of buildings in the shop (body sintering and loading hoppers, loading unit sinter preobrazgenskiy the case).
Modernization of two of the six sintering machines (No. 2-3) is scheduled for 2020-2021. In the reconstruction of the sintering plant No. 2 dust emissions for each of the six sintering machines will be reduced by 250 tons per year – the total reduction will amount to about 1500 tons per annum.
