Converter modernization at ThyssenKrupp Nirosta, Krefeld, Germany
Aug 7, 2009
ThyssenKrupp Nirosta completely modernized its converter facilities in Krefeld, Germany, and in so doing made a further contribution to lowering pollution in the area around the plant. The optimized equipment started operation in the melt shop in spring and was recently granted an official operating license following the ramp-up phase.
The two new AOD (Argon Oxygen Decarburization) converters with change vessel and ancillary equipment allow among other things, for cleaner air. "The converter vessels are now enclosed. The dust and gases arising during charging or tapping the heat are collected more effectively," says Harald Behmenburg, head of operations at Krefeld steel mill. "The air is filtered before being released back into the atmosphere. This enables us to sustainably reduce diffuse dust emissions."
