SMS group to deploy Blast Furnace decarbonization technology for MMK
- Paul Wurth-designed Blast Furnace 11's newly-developed environmental technology ensures high environmental standards
- Hydrogen and carbon monoxide replace a large proportion of solid carbon fuels
- Injection of synthesis gas into the blast furnace shaft reduces CO2 emissions and increases productivity
SMS group will improve the efficiency of Magnitogorsk Iron & Steel Works (MMK) processes with the use of 'syngas', a combination of hydrogen and carbon monoxide which replaces a portion of the solid carbon fuels – setting the stage for greater decarbonization potential in the future.
