SUMMARY:Eco friendly acid regeneration
DESCRIPTION:Authors: Jörg Bollmann, John Cockerill UVK GmbH, Sergej Faber, John Cockerill UVK GmbH 

Eco-friendly Acid Regeneration to help decarbonize the steel industry Acid regeneration systems are to reduce pickling process plants’ fresh acid demands and waste streams in general. With both, environmental protection and operating expenditure having substantially expanded in their importance, total acid regeneration plants based on the fluidized bed (FB) technology became today’s state of the art technology for premium steel suppliers increasingly committed to reducing their environmental footprint.

In response to this trend, John Cockerill’s latest FB acid regeneration plants (ARP) come with an innovative and environmentally friendly concept, particularly in terms of emissions and waste energy recovery, along with smart and Industry 4.0 technologies. In combination with a perfectly matched tank farm guaranteeing the efficient management of all consumables, today’s highly automated ARPs allow the effective recycling of close to 100% of the spent acid generated in the steel manufacturing process, all while providing the highest possible process security, throughput, and plant availability. What is more, it is considerably reducing the steel complex’s annual dust and mist emissions and lowering or even eliminating other waste streams. 

An eloquent testimony of the of the above, is the world’s largest ARP recently supplied to Chinese steel giant Baowu. It allows Baowu to achieve emissions that are only 1/3 of the very latest stringent Chinese standards. Namely the reduction of its steel plant’s dust emissions by 25 tons and its carbon footprint by a significant 4,800 tons per year. Simplified processes, such as quick-change spray/burner nozzles, our maintenance free venturi, our smart plant control system, or our Air Preheating System reducing fuel consumption and the CO2 footprint by a minimum of 10%, are only some of the many sustainable features that will be presented.
