Dedusting System
Sidernaval Equipos Siderrgicos S.A., serves with technological capability the melt shop areas where
dust will be generated:
EAF type
- AC Furnaces
- DC Furnaces
- CONARC Furnaces
LF type
- Single Ladle Furnace
- Twin Ladle Furnace
- with fixed Roof or slewable Roof type
Meltshop Equipment
- Deslagging Area
- Debricking Area
- Ladle Heating Stands
- Material Handling Systems
Offering integrated system for collection and cleaning all primary and secondary fumes generated in the
melt shop.
- Ensuring high efficiency and low operating costs.
- Suction control of the frecuent changes of gas volume.
- Individual design in accordance to customer's requirements.
Primary Extraction
The gases generated in the production unit and directly extracted from there are denominated
as Primary Gases, and consequently the extraction of these primary gases is called the Primary
Extraction.
The primary gases generated in the furnace are suctioned through a water cooled duct which carries
these gases to a combustion and decanting chamber, rightly dimensioned for two functions:
- To burn out the CO that may remain unburnt inside the furnace.
- To expand passage section and so reduce the speed of gases so that heaviest particles settle down.
Behind the combustion chamber, the plate water-cooled and uncooled ducts are located. If necessary,
these ducts lead gases to an auxiliary cooling system where temperature of gases is reduced in order
to get the right mix of temperature for operating conditions.
Technical solutions for the Primary
Extraction take into consideration:
- Reduction of maintenace works.
- Easy replacement of parts.
Combustion Chamber
- Water cooled
- Non water cooled
All design and technical proposals are based on the aim of fulfilling customer's technical and economical
requirements and expectations.
Secondary Extraction
The gases generated during the charging and
melting of the furnace are collected by
theSecondary Extraction system.
The exhaustion during charging and melting through the Secondary Extraction system has the purpose
of providing a clean atmosphere inside the bay as well as to obtain fresh air for cooling the temperature
of mixed gases.
The mixed gases are conveyed to the spark arrestor in front of the Bag Filter Unit.
In the Spark Arrestor thick dust particles are separated and isolated. In addition, the mix of gases of
different compositions and at different temperatures is made easier and improved while it gets prepared
to get into the Bag Filter Unit.
Sidernaval offers alternative solutions for the Spark Arrestors, depending on the whole system and the
necessities of the customer, with the different designs:
- HELPD (High Efficiency Low Pressure Drop) Spark Arrestor.
- Horizontal Spark Arrestor.
The cleaning of the Filtering Bags is done by means of short bursts of dry compressed air. The Bag
Filter Units featuring this bag cleaning system are denominated as Air Pulse Jet Filters.
Sidernaval has developed the Pulse Jet Filters which minimize investment and assure the high
performance of the Dedusting System with the optimum dimensioning:
- Single row Filter
- Double row Filter
- Double building Filter
