About this document

Sponge Iron Process Energy Optimization by rawad is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This case study summarizes a coal-based sponge iron production process. Key data on the process flows and temperatures are presented in tables and figures. The goal is to reduce energy usage by modifying the heat exchange network. Essential stream data is extracted and a composite curve is generated, showing a threshold problem where one utility is zero. A heat exchanger design is presented using two exchangers to recover 7087.8 kW of the possible 7506 kW, preheating air with waste gas and cooling the kiln
