Russian steelmaker NLMK Group has announced that it has successfully completed guarantee tests of the blast furnace No. 6 top pressure recovery turbine (TRT) at its Novolipetsk steelmaking plant. With the launch of the new unit, the company has completed its project for the development of green energy facilities.
 
The top pressure recovery turbine, a technology which uses high-pressure gases collected at blast furnaces to generate electricity, built behind the blast furnace No. 6 is the second turbine in the company’s new TRT station complex. The first turbine which utilizes the blast furnace gas from blast furnace No. 7 went into operation in 2015. With the two turbines, in addition to a 6.5 percent reduction of its energy costs, NLMK Group also reduces the negative impact on the environment. Total investment in the TRT station complex exceeded RUB 1.9 billion ($29.86 million).
