Reconstruction of the gas cooling and purification ducts for (350–400)-t converters

Resumo

On the basis of experience at numerous modernized steel plants between 2006 and 2015, proposals have been developed for the reconstruction of the gas cooling and cleaning ducts for (350–400)-t converters, as an alternative to the system employed by Primetals Technologies Austria (previously Siemens Voest Alpine). The basic equipment employed in the reconstruction may be manufactured at Russian plants, and its introduction requires minimal reconfiguration of the metal structures in the existing converter shop.
