Castellanza, September 20th, 2019 –Tenova, a Techint Group company specialized in innovative solutions for the metals and mining industries, was recently awarded three iRecovery® (intelligent waste heat recovery systems) by Tangshan Zhengfeng Iron & Steel Co., LTD, in Hebei Province, China.
Following the Consteel Evolution® commissioning, Tangshan has decided to further invest in Tenova’s technology solutions. Tenova iRecovery® systems will be applied downstream of the new Consteel® Evolution to recover the waste heat and to use it for the production of steam, which will then be available for the existing power plant.
The latest Chinese government policies demand higher quality processes and technologies to increase productivity and implement environmental sustainable solutions. Consequently, Chinese steelmakers have been paying more and more attention to these topics in order to consolidate their position as technological leaders.
Tenova iRecovery® offers high environmental standards for production compared to traditional steelmaking processes. Tenova iRecovery®, with more than twelve references worldwide - four of which are located in China - is considered the best available proven technology in terms of balance/mix between innovation, reliability and sustainability.
“The EAF Consteel® iRecovery® configuration represents the worldwide state-of-the- art technology for what concerns electrical steelmaking sector and it will set an ambitious technological reference for Tenova in China and around the world”
