In addition to a new converter vessel with lamella suspension system supplied by SMS Siemag, converter A in Salzgitter Flachstahl GmbH’s steel plant in Germany will also be equipped with new filter technology developed and patented by SMS Elex. The new equipment is to replace the old precipitation and discharge electrode system. Revamping will take place in the summer of 2013.
By means of this technology from SMS Elex, the occurring gases can be efficiently cleaned, ensuring compliance even with the most stringent environmental regulations. With a view to the varying requirements of the converter process, the electrostatic precipitator is characterized by very sturdy and thus long-lived, low-maintenance components.
The scope of supply by SMS Elex comprises the engineering, the supply of the internal filter equipment as well as installation and erection work.
SMS Elex is a joint venture between SMS Siemag and the Swiss company ELEX AG, which specializes in electrostatic precipitators. This joint venture unites SMS Siemag's many years of experience in the development and construction of converter plants with the knowhow from ELEX AG.
