PT Gunung (Gunung Steel Group), Indonesia, has awarded an order to SMS Siemag, Germany, for the planning and supply of a gas cleaning system for an ARCCESS ® electric arc furnace and has thus decided in favor of a tailor-made environmental technology solution from SMS Siemag.
The dust-laden gases arising at the furnace and ancillary plants during the steelmaking process are efficiently captured and reduced
to a residual dust content of less than 10 mg/Nm³.
SMS Siemag will supply the complete basic and detail engineering, the mechanical and electrical core components, the X-Pact electrical and automation package and the supervision of erection and commissioning.
The system will be operated by speed-controlled fans which will use a minimum of electrical power and have an optimized process dependent exhaust capacity.
The customer had already ordered the ARCCESS ® electric arc furnace itself and a continuous slab caster from SMS Siemag in 2011. All three plants will go into operation in mid-2013.
At the Bekasi location, PT Gunung operates a long product line for the production of sections and wire rods, as well as a flat-product line for the manufacture of heavy plates and pipes. All major production facilities were supplied by companies of the SMS group.
