Air Pollution Control

Emissions and gasses are collected during various phases of the steel making process through the plant APC ventilation system. Exhaust is treated through a scrubbing and mist eliminator process, removing liquid, soluble solids, scale, oils or other impurities. Hot water rinse cycles are employed to periodically wash the mesh elements within the mist eliminators to maintain filter efficiency. Hot water needs to be made available immediately at optimum temperature as the wash cycles occur.

 

The Solution:

The Pick 6X25-3 Constant Flow Direct Steam Injection Heater, was selected to provide a quick heat up of 64 gpm at 150°F. The heater quickly comes up to temperature to handle 2 minute rinse cycles at 15 minute intervals.
