It is designed as a special bag filter based dry gas cleaning system for sinter plants and will be the first of its kind in India. The Meros system will treat up to 430,000 Nm³/h and will significantly reduce dust emissions to less than 5 mg/Nm³. Provisions are made for the future installation of DeSOx, DeNOx, DeOrganic and heavy metals removal systems. With the installation of the sinter plant WGR system, up to 50 % of the off-gas will be recirculated in the sintering process. This will result in coke saving of about 7 % and a reduction of off-gas cleaning requirements of up to 50 %. This Meros plant is expected to be started-up in the first quarter of 2019.
Primetals will be responsible for the engineering, delivery of key equipment and automation of the integrated WGR and Meros system as well as for advisory services for commissioning. The Meros plant for JSW Vijayanagar´s 224 m² sinter plant No. 4 represents another one in a row of newly installed sinter gas cleaning systems by Primetals until late 2019, together with the recently received orders from JFE in Japan and Kardemir in Turkey.
