Waste Heat Recovery System

Features
Waste gas heat of a sintering plant is recovered as
steam or electric energy.
The heat recovery efficiency is 60% for waste
gas from cooler and 34% for waste gas from
sintering machine proper.

Waste gas heat recovery from sintering

machine proper also leads to the reduction of
coke consumption.
Applicable whether the cooler is of a circular type or
linear type.

CO2 emissions can be reduced, leading to a possibility of employing this system in a CDM project.

Basic Concept or Summary

Using this system, high-temperature waste heat of waste gas from
a cooler and a sintering machine proper is recovered as steam,
which can also be used for electric power generation.
The system is composed of a waste heat recovery boiler,
economizer, dimineralized water supply equipment, de-aerator,
steam drum, etc.
For realizing high-efficiency recovery, a high-temperature exhaust
section is separated from a low-temperature exhaust section and
heat is recovered only from high-temperature exhaust section.
In waste heat recovery from a cooler, the exhaust gas the
temperature of which is lowered by heat exchange is sent back to
the cooler and used again for sintered ore cooling.
There are two types in waste heat recovery from a sintering machine proper: one is a type where
exhaust gas is directly sent to a gas treatment system after heat exchange (non-circulating type) and
the other is a type where it is reintroduced into the sintering machine proper (circulating type).
