In December 2018, a Meros off-fuel cleaning plant furnished by means of Primetals Technologies, Ltd. (London, U.K.; www.Primetals.Com) began started ot sinter plant No. Three of Turkish steel producer Karabüok Demir Celik Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş. (Kardemir), followed through the Meros plants provided for Kardemir ́s sinter plants No. 1 in early February and No. 2 in early March. Each Meros plant is able to treat 400.000 Nm3/h of sinter off-gas, decreasing SOx by way of extra than ninety addition to delivering extraordinarily low dust emissions. All three Meros vegetation use sodium bicarbonate as a desulphurization agent. The tasks were found out within a very quick time span. For instance, the best ten and a half months were required from the technical specification of the Meros plant mounted at the sinter plant No. Three till start-up. With the new Meros flowers, air first-class inside the valley of Karabük has improved significantly.
Kardemir operates an incorporated iron and metal works in Karabük, in the northern part of Turkey. The production web page is located in a slender valley, close to the city of Safranbolu. Three sinter plants are operated by way of Kardemir. Kardemir ́s Meros flowers constitute the fourth implementation of sodium bicarbonate desulphurization, following Voestalpine Stahl in Austria, Masteel in China, and JFE in Japan. Primetals Technologies becomes liable for the engineering, supply of key devices like sodium bicarbonate dosing and milling, clear out heads, bags, cages, electric, cs, and automation, in addition to advisory offerings for bloodless and warm commissioning.
