Improving Gas Conditioning in Electric Arc Furnaces

摘要

A steel producer trying to make a profit in today's often hostile environment has many concerns to deal with, including relationships with the EPA and the residents surrounding the plant facilities. If you operate electric arc furnaces, you know one of the main environmental issues relates to particulate emissions, and the regulations are only getting tighter. This is nothing new, and the technology for combating these emissions has not changed much for many years. The two main weapons against particulates are bag houses and electrostatic precipitators. You can improve the performance of these devices while increasing the capacity of your overall production with the addition of a small but strategically placed gas conditioning system between the furnace and your particulate capture devices.
