Waste Heat Recovery System

Features
◆ Waste gas heat of a sintering plant is recovered as
steam or electric energy. Sintering machine
proper
◆ The heat recovery efficiency is 60% for waste Cooler
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.
Waste heat

◆ Applicable whether the cooler is of a circular type or
Fan Fan recovery boiler
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).
