Increasingly strict environmental stipulations, rising energy prices, and customers’ high quality expectations are typical of the demands facing pelletizing plant operators. Patented technology from SIMINE Pellet places the entire pelletizing process on a new basis. Significant overall improvements, for example an increase in output, can be expected thanks to a recirculation of the gas and heat supply, optimization of the process and a new in-process measuring method. SIMINE Pellet is also ideally suited for plant modernizations and generally pays for itself within one to three years.
As part of the Lebedinski GOK project, Siemens developed the SATOP process model for standardized pellet quality together with NPWP TOREX, Yekaterinburg.
As part of a plant modernization project, Lebedinski GOK, Russia’s biggest ore processing combine, opted for SIMINE Pellet as the central control and monitoring platform. The integrated process control system SIMATIC PCS 7 and patented algorithm provide a guaranteed means of accurately predicting pellet quality. Use of energy and raw materials was reduced in all process steps, with a corresponding decrease in environmental pollution.
