The very strict environmental standards foreseen in the non-attainment zone of Baytown, TX required a particularly careful design of the melting process as well as the fume treatment equipment. As part of this project, Tenova will provide JSW Steel (USA) Inc. with two independent Bag Houses, one for the hot gasses and one for the cold gasses to comply with the low pollution limits.
The tailored design of the process, in conjunction with advanced level 1 and level 2 automation systems, will provide a very efficient performance of the Fume Treatment Plant. With the adoption of this technology platform of latest generation – the LOWNOX MELTSHOP™ – the JSW Steel (USA) Inc. new plant will have incredibly low NO_x and VOC emissions on a per ton of steel basis.
