Siemens to engineer selective waste-gas recirculation systems for Posco sinter plants

 – Environmental benefits in combination with operational cost savings 

Siemens VAI Metals Technologies received an order from the Korean steel producer Posco for the provision of engineering and supervisory services in connection with the installation, operation and maintenance of a selective waste-gas recirculation system for each of two sinter plants located at the company's Pohang Works. The contract value is a single-digit million-euro figure. Through the recycling of hot offgas containing dust and other pollutants to the sinter strand, a reduction in the specific waste-gas volume and emission level can be achieved, in addition to a lower specific coke consumption. Start-up of the new waste-gas recirculation systems is scheduled for the first quarter of 2010.
