| • | Designed for an average output of seven megawatts |
| • | Improved energy efficiency and reduced operating costs |
Siemens Metals Technologies has received an order from VEO (Vulkan Energiewirtschaft Oderbrücke GmbH) to install a top gas pressure recovery turbine (TRT) and auxiliary systems on ArcelorMittal Eisenhüttenstadt blast furnace 5A. This will enable the pressure and sensible heat in the top gas to be converted into electrical energy. The TRT system is designed to generate an average power of seven megawatts. Commissioning is scheduled for the middle of 2015. Vulkan Energiewirtschaft Oderbrücke GmbH operates the industrial power plant in Eisenhüttenstadt. Installation of the TRT system is part of a project designed to increase energy efficiency even further and thereby reduce the environmental impact.
