De-dusting innovation – aiding China’s call for ultra-low emissions

CISDI’s innovative and highly efficient de-dusting innovation for basic oxygen furnaces is capable of reducing flume dust content by 90 per cent.

The wet electrostatic precipitator for a primary dedusting system was invented in rapid response to China’s call for its steelworks to achieve ultra-low emissions.

The precipitator can reduce existing flume dust content figures of nearly 100mg/Nm³ to the ultra-low emission target of 10mg/Nm³ or to even lower dust content.

The equipment can be brought online without interfering with existing BOF production, and is safe, explosion-proof, reliable and cost-efficient.

It has already found its niche in the market. The first application is a package supply to TISCO Meltshop 2.

CISDI will be monitoring the precipitator in action at TISCO so it can work on further optimisations or upgrades.
