Edwards wins order for world’s largest dry mechanical vacuum pumping system
Edwards
wins order for world's largest dry mechanical vacuum pumping system
CRAWLEY, UK (24 April 2009) - Leading vacuum technology company Edwards
has signed a contract to supply China's Chong Qing Steel Group Co. with
the world's largest dry mechanical vacuum pumping system. The total value
is in excess of US$ 8 million - Edwards' largest ever single project order
in the metallurgical market.
When installed, the system will be capable of pumping a world-beating 1,000,000 m3/h at 0.67 mbar, and will degas 230 tonne quantities of liquid steel in each batch. It will be the world's first application of dry vacuum pumps to a Ruhrstahl Heraeus (RH) steel degassing process.
The Edwards dry pumping system provides Chong Qing Steel with potential energy cost savings of more than 90 per cent over traditional steam ejector systems. Other benefits include a lower environmental impact through reducing water effluent and CO2 emissions, optimised steel quality due to no moisture contamination and consistent performance, and increased safety through removing the need for high pressure steam and high temperature fuel and burner systems.
Edwards will supply 18 steel degassing 'supermodules', each comprising twin 40,000 m3/h mechanical boosters backed by a common 8,000 m3/h booster and one of the latest generation IDX1300 dry screw pumps.
The company's proven track record in steel degassing systems was instrumental in securing the deal, along with Edwards' international reach.
Pumps will be manufactured in Shoreham, UK, in Lutin in the Czech Republic, and in the USA. Project management will be provided by Edwards Bolton, UK, and manufacturing, procurement, assembly and test by Edwards Shanghai, China. Deliveries to the customer will be completed by the end of 2009.
The order is based on collaboration between Edwards and three other players in the global steel industry: plant operator Chong Qing Steel; Baosteel Corp., the major engineering contractor for steel business within China and also a global player; and Adrem Invest, consultant and contractor in steel degassing projects.
"With global demand for steel growing rapidly, we are already seeing strong growth in smaller steel degassing installations," explains Marinella Varallo, general manager for industrial sales at Edwards. "By opening up RH processes on larger installations to our dry pumping technology, we can now address a much larger global market."

Una volta installato, il sistema sarà in grado di pompare alla strepitosa capacità di 1.000.000 di m3/h a 0,67 mbar, e degassare quantitativi pari a 230 tonnellate di acciaio liquido per ogni ciclo. Sarà la prima applicazione di pompe a vuoto a secco su un processo di degasaggio per acciaio Ruhrstahl Heraeus (UR).
Il sistema di pompaggio a secco Edwards garantisce alla Chong Qing Steel un potenziale risparmio sui costi energetici che va oltre il 90 per cento rispetto ai tradizionali sistemi a eiettore di vapore. Altri vantaggi comprendono un ridotto impatto ambientale attraverso la riduzione delle acque effluenti e delle emissioni di CO2, l'ottimizzazione della qualità di acciaio dovuta alla mancanza di contaminazione da umidità con conseguente aumento delle prestazioni, una maggiore sicurezza dovuta alla eliminazione del fabbisogno di vapore ad alta pressione, o di sistemi alimentati con carburante ad alta temperatura o a bruciatore.
Edwards fornirà 18 "supermoduli" per il degasaggio dell'acciaio comprendenti ognuno due pompe booster meccaniche da 40,000 m3/h supportate da un booster in comune da 8,000 m3/h e da una della pompe a vite di ultima generazione la IDX1300.
La provata esperienza Edwards sui sistemi di degasaggio unita alla sua portata internazionale è stata determinante per garantire questa operazione.
Le pompe saranno costruite a Shoreham, UK, a Lutin nella Repubblica Ceca e negli Stati Uniti. La gestione del progetto sarà fornito dalla Edwards di Bolton in UK, mentre approvvigionamento, assemblaggio e test saranno a cura della Edwards di Shangai, Cina.
La consegna al cliente sarà completata entro la fine del 2009.
L'ordine è basato sulla collaborazione Edwards con altri tre attori
a livello globale nell'industria dell'acciao: la Chong Qing Steel operatore
su impianti, la Baosteel Corp. maggior appaltatore ingegneristico nel campo
dell'acciaio in Cina, ed infine Adrem Invest, società di consulenza
e di appalto in progetti per il degasaggio dell'acciao.
Dice Marinella Varallo, general manager per le vendite industriali in Edwards
"Con la domanda mondiale di acciaio in rapido aumento si sta già
vedendo una forte crescita nei piccoli impianti di degasaggio acciaio".
"Con l'apertura della nostra tecnologia a secco sui processi RH per
grandi impianti di pompaggio ora possiamo affrontare un mercato molto più
grande a livello globale".
