a Mining and processing plant by Metinvest in Krivoy Rog (CMCP) for the heat treatment of iron ore pellets as fuel uses sunflower husks instead of natural gas.
a New type of fuel is used in the pelletizing plant the operation of the roasting machine OK-324 in the framework of the energy efficiency project, implemented by Metinvest, according to "the First Kryvyi Rih".
For dewatering and strength products in the OK-324 earlier Central mining used about 95% of consumed natural gas, which now replace the shredded husks of sunflower.
"During the modernization of the roasting machine to check the technology we replaced the new fuel 20% used gas," - said the head of the Department of energy management of Central GOK Maxim Sagittarius. – "Experimental period, which lasted more than a year, confirmed the economic effect of the project, so we plan to gradually increase the amount of substitution of up to 45%".
the project Implementation allowed to reduce gas consumption and reduce costs by 20.6 million.
Director General of the Central mining Dmitry Shevchik reminded that Metinvest has installed led lighting in workshops, factories and other industrial sites of the enterprise.
"Previously implemented a number of joint projects of DTEK ESKO, modernizing pumps concentrator. The new project is another opportunity for the plant to contribute to energy savings, consuming her rational," he concluded.
