BackConstruction of a fan cooling tower at ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih
In September 2019, a large-scale project to replace a fan cooling tower at ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih, the largest metallurgical enterprise in Ukraine, was completed. For Dalgakiran, this project was special because it is currently the largest fan cooling tower in Ukraine.
As part of the modernization of its strategic energy infrastructure, the Ukrainian steel giant signed a number of new contracts. One of them was the reconstruction of the newly built cooling tower 16B, which did not meet the objectives. For this purpose, the company held a tender, which was won by Dalgakiran Compressor Ukraine, which offered the best solution.
According to the project, we had two main tasks:
- design, manufacture and install a cooling tower on an existing swimming pool;
- to provide the enterprise with a system that meets the required water cooling parameters of the water supply circulation cycle of CHP-2, blast furnaces No. 7 and 8 and the compressor station of oxygen production.
The proposed CENK fiberglass fan cooling tower was the optimal solution for these tasks thanks to the best combination of energy efficiency, performance, compactness, durability and cost on the market.
The delivered fan-type cooling tower CENK 3EFM1460 (Turkey) has a capacity of 10,900 m3/h. Despite the fact that it is the largest fan cooling tower in Ukraine (length – 44 m, width – 14.6 m, height – 15 m), the equipment is considered very compact for such a capacity.
The water cooling system is operated by three fans with a diameter of 9.2 m each. The power of the drive motor of each fan is 132 kW. The electric motors are controlled by a Siemens frequency drive-based control system on each motor (complete with cooling tower).
As a result of the project, ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih has achieved significant savings in electricity and process water, which is in line with the company’s strategy to modernize and improve the energy efficiency of its production equipment.
