Siemens to install secondary dedusting systems in Ilva sinter plants in Italy

09.08.2013, 16:43

• Dust emissions will fall to less than 10 milligrams per standard cubic meter
• Cleaning capacity will be 1.5 million actual cubic meters per hour
• Commissioning scheduled for the beginning of 2014
 
Siemens Metals Technologies has received an order from Ilva S.p.A to equip the company's two sinter plants at its Taranto steel mill in Italy with secondary dedusting systems. The systems will be able to clean 1.5 million actual cubic meters per hour and reduce dust emissions from the sinter plants to less than 10 milligrams per standard cubic meter, which is well below the legal limit.
 
The new secondary dedusting systems from Siemens feature long-life bag filters, and will replace the existing systems which are based on technically obsolete electrostatic precipitators. The scope of supply also includes the raw-gas ducts, fans, clean air ducts, stacks and an integrated automation solution. A special filter control will ensure efficient dedusting even under changing operating conditions. Siemens will also be responsible for the configuration and installation of the equipment.
 
With an annual production capacity of over eleven million tonnes, the Ilva steel plant in Taranto is the largest in Europe, accounting for some 30 percent of the steel used in Italy. The two sinter plants, which were modernized and extended by Siemens in 2001, can produce up to eleven million tons of sinter per year. Ilva is part of the Riva Group based in Milan, Italy.
