The new Electrostatic Tar Precipitator (ETP) will replace two old vessels and at the time of commissioning - scheduled for late spring in 2021 - the customer will operate three ETPs supplied by GEA for the tar precipitation of the entire coke oven gas in the steel works. The new ETP is designed as a single field electrostatic precipitator with gas flow in vertical direction from the bottom to the top with an overall tar collection efficiency of 99.9 %.
The project was suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic from mid of March to end of July 2020 but finally decided within a few weeks after its restart. During the break GEA kept a successful co-operation between its teams in Essen/Germany and Buenos Aires/Argentina and the customer which finally resulted in this new contract award by a leading South American steelmaking company.
"We are proud to have received a follow-up order from this customer that reflects confidence in GEA's technology and product quality. The extensive know-how gained in more than thousand reference plants gives us the experience to design new or to retrofit plants that are tailored to the customer's needs and minimize operating costs," says Jens Lange, Head of Emission Control Sales Support & Process Engineering Industrial at GEA BU Chemical Technologies – Emission Control.
