Recently, good news came from the construction site of an industrial park project in Indonesia: the large-scale blast furnace gas residual pressure recovery turbine generator unit and axial-flow compressor set supplied by SHAANGU for the park’s new blast furnace have completed installation and commissioning successively, and achieved one-time successful trial run. The units operate stably with all technical indicators meeting design requirements, laying a solid foundation for the smooth commissioning of the blast furnace.
As an important achievement of China-Indonesia cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative, the industrial park is also a globally significant base for nickel-iron and stainless steel industry. With the continuous upgrading of the park’s production capacity, the new blast furnace project has put forward higher requirements for energy efficiency, stability and intelligence of core power equipment. Relying on profound technical accumulation and rich experience in energy recovery, SHAANGU has provided a customized solution including energy recovery turbine unit and axial-flow compressor for the project.
Both the large-scale blast furnace gas residual pressure recovery turbine generator unit and axial-flow compressor set are Single Champion Products of China’s Manufacturing Industry. The energy recovery turbine unit can meet blast furnace process requirements while generating power using top gas residual pressure and heat, realizing cascaded energy utilization. It has won the Second Class Prize of National Science and Technology Progress Award and the UN IPEEC “Top Ten Energy-Saving Technologies and Top Ten Energy-Saving Practices Award”. The matched axial-flow compressor set features low energy consumption, stable operation and wide adjustment range, which significantly improves overall system energy efficiency and provides strong power for stable and smooth blast furnace operation.
During project implementation, SHAANGU team members overcame challenges such as complex overseas working conditions and tight schedule. They provided full-life-cycle professional services from equipment delivery, installation guidance to commissioning and operation, achieving the goal of one-time successful trial run and winning high recognition from the customer.
The successful trial run not only lays a solid foundation for the on-schedule commissioning of the customer’s new blast furnace, but also represents another successful practice of SHAANGU in continuously helping global metallurgical customers achieve energy conservation, emission reduction, cost reduction and efficiency improvement.
