New plants with high environmental standards
Four separate parts were transported on river barges and then assembled on site. Sintering is the process of mixing fine-grained iron ore with coke and materials including lime, heating it up, and baking the product. Gas permeability is a property of sinter that makes it highly suited for use in the blast furnace during pig iron melting.
Production of the so-called sinter cake relies on suction air, which absorbs a lot of dust during the process. The additional cloth filter system will capture almost all of the sinter dust, greatly reducing emissions. The system that will help conserve the environment is about to go operational.
