Successful acceptance of the SCR plant for thyssenkrupp SteeL

Thyssenkrupp Steel Europe AG operates the gas-fired "Hermann Wenzel" power plant with a total of four units at the Duisburg-Ruhrort location. Units III and IV are operated in mixed mode with blast furnace gas and coke oven gas.

Following the successful retrofit of a Selective Catalytic Reduction System (SCR), together with VPC GmbH as consortium partner on unit IV in 2020, Standardkessel Baumgarte GmbH has now also commissioned the SCR system on unit III.

The order for unit III was again handled together with VPC GmbH as main contractor. The scope of supply on the part of SBG included the complete design, delivery and commissioning of the equipment. In addition to the integration of the new SCR reactors, the injection system of the reduction agent supply into the flue gas path, the associated piping, the control system and the measurement technology was also included into the scope.

After the successful commissioning of unit III (the acceptance tests are planned for October 2021), this plant is also ready to be taken into commercial operation and handed over to the end customer. As a result, the NO_x emission limits will be reliably complied with during operation in the future.
