Development and demonstration of an innovative two-stage blast furnace gas purification technology that meets the assumptions of minimising the amount of waste generated in the form of sludges, increasing the degree of reuse of dust and meeting technological requirements for further energy management of blast furnace gas.

The result of the project is a demonstration technology that has a positive impact on the environment through a cleaner production process of iron iron with simultaneous energy recovery of blast furnace gas pressure. As a result, there will be a solution leading to: first of all: reduce the volume of waste generated in the form of sludge, and secondly: increase the energy efficiency of the blast furnace process. In order to increase the efficiency of dust removal ArcelorMittal Poland S.A intends to use a modern cyclone to replace the static dust collector with approx. 85 % (I degree of purification) and scribe for cleaning of blast furnace gas with a 10 % reduction in water consumption (II degree of purification) and reduced noise emissions. This system will be applied for the first time in national blast furnaces. The project will result in: — increase the efficiency of dry dedusting from 50 % (static duster) to 85 % (cyclone) – reduction of sludge by 70 % – reduction of water necessary for wet gas cleaning by 10 % – development of excess steam during the summer season (May to October): 10 tonnes per hour – eliminating the source of noise emissions up to 96 dB – choking group – raising the target gas temperature at the outlet of the treatment plant by 10 °C – increase the power generated in the turbine by 330 kW. Reference number of the aid programme: SA.41471(2015/X) Purpose of public aid: Article 25 of EC Regulation No 651/2014 of 17 June 2014 declaring certain types of aid compatible with the internal market in the application of Articles 107 and 108 of the Treaty (OJ L. I'm sorry. EU L 187/1 of 26.06.2014).
