West-Siberian Steel Works (ZapSib), a subsidiary of the Russian steel producing and mining company
Evraz Group, has announced that it has finished the construction of the closed cycle for final cooling of coke-oven gas at the coke and chemical processing shop of its subsidiary
Evraz Koks-Sibir.
The Ruble 40 million (about $1.34 million) project was implemented within the framework of
Evraz's environment-oriented program, and will allow
Evraz Koks-Sibir to reduce emissions of harmful substances into the atmosphere by 32 percent.
Currently,
Evraz Koks-Sibir's coke and chemical processing shop produces about 45,000 cubic meters of coke-oven gas per hour. Following the purification and removal of the chemical byproducts of coking, this gas is used as fuel for the plant's coke batteries and for the Novokuznetsk Iron and Steel Plant (NKMK) thermal power plant.
