Optimizing Gas Recovery for LD Converters

The gas recovery for LD converters (BOF) is a cutting-edge solution designed to tackle the challenges of primary waste gas treatment in the steel industry. This technology addresses critical issues, including energy consumption, fossil fuel substitution, and emission reduction, providing a comprehensive approach to achieving environmental and economic sustainability.

The gas recovery system for LD converters (BOF) is designed for seamless integration into existing steel production processes. It includes a durable gasholder, pressure boosters, and an efficient distribution network. At its core is the switch-over station, which smoothly transfers gas from the flare stack to the gasholder. This ensures a high-calorific-value CO-gas enrichment while enhancing overall plant reliability.

Built with advanced safety features, the system features a three-way valve and parallel safety valves for wet-type dedusting (WDS), as well as high-temperature-resistant cup valves for dry-type dedusting (DDS). Beyond energy savings, the system also delivers economic benefits by replacing natural gas and lowering overall energy costs.

Benefits of Gas Recovery for LD Converters

  • Highly efficient CO-gas recovery
  • High plant availability: ensures continuous operation with minimal downtime

  • Dedusting efficiency: maintains clean gas dust content, improving environmental compliance

  • Reduced emissions: significantly cuts emissions, contributing to a more sustainable steel production process

  • Short payback time: delivers quick returns on investment through energy savings and increased operational efficiency
