DeNOx Scrubber Project at Tata Steel IJmuiden

Introduction

Plasticon Projects has successfully completed the construction of a large FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic) DeNOx scrubber at Tata Steel IJmuiden. This cutting-edge installation is designed to significantly reduce the exhaust fumes generated by the pellet factory, making a major contribution to sustainability and air quality improvements.

Project Execution and Challenges

The DeNOx scrubber, with its massive 12.5-meter diameter, presented unique engineering and logistical challenges. Due to its size, traditional transportation methods were not viable. Plasticon Projects opted for on-site construction, employing its advanced mobile winding machines to fabricate the scrubber directly at Tata Steel IJmuiden. This approach ensured the structural integrity of the installation while also optimizing efficiency and minimizing potential transportation-related risks.

On-Site Construction with Mobile Winding Machines

To accommodate the scale of the project, Plasticon Projects utilized state-of-the-art mobile winding machines, which allowed the scrubber to be constructed seamlessly on-site. This technique not only facilitated the build of such a large structure but also enhanced the overall precision and quality of the final product. The use of FRP material ensures long-term durability, corrosion resistance, and low maintenance requirements, making it an ideal choice for an industrial setting like Tata Steel’s pellet factory.

Environmental and Industrial Impact

The completion of the DeNOx scrubber marks a significant milestone in Tata Steel’s efforts to reduce its environmental footprint. By capturing and treating harmful exhaust emissions, the installation contributes to cleaner air, aligns with environmental regulations, and supports sustainable industrial operations.

Plasticon Projects is proud to have been part of this transformative initiative, reinforcing its commitment to delivering innovative and sustainable engineering solutions.
