Karabashmed launched a new gas cleaning system

CHELYABINSK REGION

 

The Karabashmed Plant (part of the Russian Copper Company Group) launched a state-of-the-art system for cleaning metallurgical off-gases. In addition to six existing filters, the sulfuric acid shop received another four high-performance wet-type electric filters for two-stage cleaning of metallurgical waste gases from dust and other impurities.

 

Three Kumera converters with gas-tight dust collector hoods installed in the new converter department opened up the possibility to boost the capacity of the sulfuric acid shop.

 

As RusBusinessNews has been informed by the RCC Press Service, the upgrading of the Karabashmed facilities resulted in the increased annual output totaling 170 thousand tons of blister copper. When put into operation, the new gas cleaning equipment will help minimize the environmental impact.
