Essen and Luxembourg, 17 February 2009. In the frame of the largest ever investment programme of the company’s history, Peiner Träger GmbH (PTG) increases the capacity of the existing EAF steelmaking plant in Peine, Lower Saxony, Germany.
Under the project name „PTG 2010 – Stahlwerk“, the EAF shop is currently being extended by a second production line which includes a new electric arc furnace (EAF2), two new ladle furnaces (LF1 and LF2) and two vacuum degassers (VD1 and VD2). The dust-loaded air emitted by these production units will be collected and led via suction ductwork to a new de-dusting plant of Paul Wurth design, where it will be cleaned by means of fabric filters. The design flow rate of processed off-gas is 1.6 million m³/h (STP).
In addition to the de-dusting system, PTG’s order to Paul Wurth Umwelttechnik GmbH comprises also the water treatment plant for the new EAF.
Paul Wurth Umwelttechnik’s scope of supply and services consists of engineering, manufacturing, supply and erection of the complete installations including steel supporting constructions and ductwork, for both the de-dusting plant and the water treatment system.
The order has been placed in December 2008, the execution period until commissioning for trial operation shall not exceed 12 months.
