Recuperators for steel industry

Plate rolling production
Plate rolling shop for production of hot rolled products. Heating slabs before rolling.

Walking beam furnaces.

The project of replacing the failed sections of the old tube recuperator with all connecting dimensions kept.

The heating temperature of the combustion air increased from 140 degrees (obsolete recuperator) to 380 – 450 degrees, which ensures the stated payback period of the equipment.

Year of implementation
2015

Scope of delivery
Recuperator manufacturing, delivery, installation supervision and commissioning.

Result
During operation all the performance parameters, the declared efficiency and payback period have been achieved.

Inspection confirmed no defects detected in 2016
