Air Pollution Control technologies for Iron, steel and nonferrous metals industries

Iron, steel and non-ferrous metal production, using blast furnaces, converters, mills, coke and sinter plants, slag treatment, fume exhaust systems, and much more, requires a variety of proven air pollution control technologies.

Below is a list of the wide range of technologies that ANDRITZ provides to reduce emissions from the various processes in these industries.

ESP Electrostatic Precipitator 3D white-computer generated image

Dry Electrostatic Precipitator (ESP)

The ESP uses electrical forces to remove Particulate Matter (PM) from the flue gases. A high voltage source, generating a corona current, charges the PM which migrate to the collecting plate. PM are removed from the plate by a knocking action.

Wet Electrostatic Precipitator (WESP)

As for the dry ESP, the wet ESP uses electrical forces to remove Particulate Matter (PM) from the flue gases. A high voltage source, generating a corona current, charges the PM which migrate to the collecting plate. PM are removed from the plate by flushing water.

Fabric Filters (FF)

The Fabric Filter (or baghouses or bag filters) uses a filter media to separate Particulate Matter (PM) from the flue gases. The Particulate Matter are deposited at the surface of the fabric filter which may be made of different materials depending on the flue gas physical and chemical composition. The dust is removed periodically when cleaning the bags.

Hybrid Filters

Hybrid Filter is a combination of ESP and FF with several configurations (in serie and in the same casing (integrated) or in separated casings in serie or in parallel (separated)).

Dry sorbent injection (DSI)

In the DSI system, calcium or sodium-based alkaline sorbents are injected into the flue gas to remove acid gases (SO2,SO3/H2SO4, HCl), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and metals (Hg, …). Injection of the sorbent is simple and takes place between the air heater and the PM control equipment.

Dry flue gas treatment

ANDRITZ dry flue gas cleaning systems meet the requirements for complying with the world’s strictest emissions legislation, the desire for low consumption of additives, the need for minimal residues, and the installation simplicity of a compact design.

Novel Integrated Desulphurization (NID) - EKP Unit 3

Novel Integrated Desulfurization (NID)

The semi-dry desulfurization combines the injection of a suspension/solution of alkaline reagent into the sulphur-rich flue-gases before removing the resulting product by filtration (Fabric Filer or Electrostatic Precipitator).
