New off-gas de-sulphurisation process for sinter plants
Sinter making produces large quantities of dust and gaseous pollutants, requiring extensive removal and recovery systems. As environmental standards continue to tighten, Redecam has developed an improved system for cleaning waste gases and dust removal, called RDS
Hydrogen-based steelmaking
Environmental and climate change pressures are demanding that the steel industry decarbonises. Tenova, with its ENERGIRON experience, is well based to help achieve the goal of carbon-free steelmaking. The use of hydrogen as an iron ore reductant is proven at laboratory and pilot plant level with ENERGIRON technology, utilising over […]
CO2 emission reduction: A need for the future
Given the need to limit global warming to 1.5°C compared to pre-industrial levels and the major contributing impact of the steel industry, Paul Wurth has been developing a range of CO2- reducing BF technologies that aim to reduce emissions in a stepwise mode as political and cost uncertainties become clearer […]
BOF gas cleaning system upgrades for increased efficiency and off-gas quality
Danieli Linz Technology, specialists in BOF steelmaking and Danieli Corus, one of the market leaders in blast furnace technology, have teamed up to accelerate developments in gas cleaning for BOF plants. A design comprising an improved scrubber based on that widely applied in the blast furnace, plus an improved mist […]
BOF design improvements and upgrades
Since its launch in 2011, the converter division of Danieli has revamped/redesigned five converters and is currently working on a further two. Design changes include vessel size and shape, vessel suspension system, vessel shell construction materials, cone water cooling, barrel air cooling, converter temperature monitoring and equipment condition monitoring systems.
Consteel continuous scrap feeding and iRecovery
Ori Martin has completed the revamping and modernisation of its Bressica Consteel EAF – the first such unit in Europe. The project scope included design advancements to improve operational efficiency and the installation of a heat recovery system on the primary off-gas line. This latter system is used to recover […]

Sarralle offers solutions based on Eco efficiency, with a warranty of a minimum environmental impact in the steel manufacturing process.
Successful utilisation of mechanical vacuum pumps in steel degassing
Mechanical dry vacuum pumps are increasingly replacing traditional steam ejectors in vacuum secondary steelmaking plant applications because of their ‘greener’ credentials and proven record of reduced cost of ownership by as much as 97% compared to steam ejectors. This calculation takes into consideration the cost for production of steam, water […]
