Safety and Material Handling

摘要

Based on a LD-converter (BOF) operation with a hot metal capacity of 340 t/Ch and using average unit costs, it could be shown that waste gas cooling plants with evaporation cooling are more economically feasible to operate due to the return received from the steam generation and use, in addition to the CO-storage possibility, than comparable pressurized cooling water plants. Another advantage is the fact that due to the heat recovery capabilities as industrially useable steam, less fossil fuel is consumed and less CO_2 is emitted into the atmosphere. The use of energy-efficient and environmentally friendly technologies is proven to be highly important for the competitiveness of companies in energy intensive sectors. Because, only who efficiently protect natural resources, the environment and our communities, will have sustainable success in the global competition.
