Technology | Coke dry quencher (CDQ) technology |
---|---|
Overview | ・Red-hot coke having a temperature of about 1000℃ is dry-cooled by inert gas in a chamber. ・Inert gas recovers the sensible heat of the red-hot coke. This recovered heat is heat-exchanged with steam by a boiler. The cooled inert gas is again put into the chamber for recirculation. ・The generated steam is used for power generation and as a high-pressure steam or lower pressure steam in the factory. ・As compared with the wet cooling method, this technique improves the strength of coke, without dissipation of steam, dust or gas into the atmosphere. Coke strength is also improved. |

Technology | Blast furnace gas expander power generation technology |
---|---|
Overview | In the blast furnace gas expander power generation, an expansion turbine is installed along the way the blast furnace gas generated in the blast furnace (gas B) is led to the gas holder. While pressure is reduced, the turbine power generator is driven by the pressure energy so that power is generated. The power recovered in this manner is used to cover about 95 percent of all the power required in the blast furnace plant. |

Technology | High-speed switching thermal storage type combustion system |
---|---|
Overview | A high-speed switching thermal storage type combustion system capable of ensuring an exhaust heat recovery rate as high as 75 to 80% is used for high-temperature air combustion, thereby achieving substantial energy conservation. In the high-speed switching thermal storage type combustion system, while one of the burners is operating for combustion, exhaust is discharged by the other burner, thereby heating the regenerator. This operation is switched a short cycle of 20 sec. to 2 min. Air is made to pass through the heated regenerator for the sake of combustion. This combustion system implements both the high-temperature preheated air combustion and high-temperature exhaust heat recovery. |

Technology | In-furnace desulfurization and water spray method |
---|---|
Overview | Powder of desulfurization agent such as limestone, quick lime and Dolomite is blown directly into the boiler furnace. This is brought into contact with sulfur oxides (SOx) in the combustion gas and oxygen so that magnesium sulfide is generated. This reaction is used to immobilize the SOx. Limestone is blown in the furnace and water is sprayed from the cooling tower installed between the air heater and dust collector. The desulfurization rate is improved by the secondary desulfurization in the cooling tower. The desulfurization rate according to this technique is about 80 percent. This facility is characterized by effective water saving and compact configuration. |

Technology | Spray dryer method |
---|---|
Overview | Alkali solution or slurry is sprayed into the absorption tower by an atomizer and is brought into contact with the effluent gas. The generated SOx-absorption substance (e.g., calcium sulfite) is dried by gas heat and reaction heat. The resultant powdered substance is caught by the dust collector located downstream. The absorbents used are exemplified by alkali such as sodium carbonate, sodium hydrogen carbonate and calcium hydroxide. The final product is a mixture of sulfate, sulfite and fisheye. This is normally subjected to landfill disposal. |

Technology | Simplified lime slurry absorption method |
---|---|
Overview | This method cuts down the construction cost and running cost while making an active use of the characteristics of the conventional lime slurry absorption method. The desulfurization rate comes to 80%. This technique is characterized by the following: 1) This is designed in a horizontal configuration in contrast to the vertical configuration of the conventional absorption tower, thereby cutting down the construction cost. 2) The gas speed in the absorption tower is 6 to 9 m/s. This speed is 2 to 3 times the conventional speed, thereby ensuring a compact configuration of the absorption tower. 3) The limestone is coarse grained so that its particle size is 150 m. This is intended to reduce the power consumption. |
