Mariupol Ilyich Iron and Steel Works has found a way to decrease losses of air blast under low capacity or fanning.
“Our specialists have found a way to decrease the minimal turbine turning frequency and steam consumption. This is also important as the blast-furnace gas becomes scarce, because of the drop in blast-furnace output. Thus the decrease in steam consumption results in the direct savings of natural gas”, said the company CEO Yuri Zinchenko.
According to him, the innovation was put to use in November 2015 and has shown its efficiency. In just several month the company was able to save around 700 thousand UAH. (Ukrainian metal)
