Tenova, a Techint Group company specialised in innovative solutions for the metals and mining industries, was recently awarded a contract for three iRecovery ® (intelligent waste heat recovery systems) by Tangshan Zhengfeng Iron & Steel Co in Hebei Province, China. Following the Consteel Evolution ® commissioning, Tangshan has decided to further invest in Tenova’s technology solutions. The iRecovery systems will be applied downstream of the new Consteel Evolution to recover the waste heat and to use it for the production of steam, which will then be available for the existing power plant. The latest Chinese government policies demand higher quality processes and technologies to increase productivity and implement sustainable environmental solutions. Consequently, Chinese steelmakers have been paying more attention to these topics in order to consolidate their positions as technological leaders. iRecovery offers high environmental standards for production compared to traditional steelmaking processes. iRecovery, with more than 12 references worldwide – four of which are in China – is considered the best available proven
