ECOmode means: Save energy, reduce emissions – be one step ahead!

The newly developed process for HCl acid regeneration plants represents

a major step in energy efficiency.

Gas consumption and emissions are reduced by 25%.

Applicable for new installations and existing plants.

Instead of gas savings production can be ramped up equally by 25 %

Attractive service packages to upgrade running systems are available,

including

Long-term support via remote diagnosis,

effective personnel training and

regular site visits from our experts.

Innovation pool – Acid regeneration


Applying decades of expertise to specialized industries: large-scale

regeneration plants for the Mining industry, special designs for the production

of raw materials for the EV-era, and many more.

Systems with capacities of up to 35m³/h

Production of specialized oxides, such as cobalt-oxide, magnesium-oxide,

aluminum-oxide, etc. from chloride solutions

Iron control in the Mining Industry

Development of technology for selective recovery of metals from solutions

containing multiple elements

Recovery of valuable raw materials from industrial wastes

Innovation pool – ARPplus regeneration

Large-scale and specialized metal-halide treatment


ANDRITZ METALS accepts the industry 4.0 challenge in being one of the

Leading companies to implement plant automation technologies of the future.

Challenge:

Increased plant productivity

Reduced energy consumption and emissions

Maximized target temperature compliance

Reduced maintenance costs

Solution:

Accurate furnace modelling

Realistic offline simulation

Predictive control with optimization strategies and real-time history/prediction chart

Observer principle (self-adapting model)

Immediate response to external influences

Innovation pool – Level 2 products

for furnace control


Knowledge of NOx formation in combustion processes is essential for the

success of selective measures for NOx-reduction. ANDRITZ FBB has this

know-how and uses it for development of low NOx burners and zero-flame combustion.

Low NOx and ultra-low NOx burners operate with an

optimized mixture of fuel, combustion air, and high

recirculation of flue gas, not reaching adiabatic flame

temperature and significantly reducing NOx formation.

Preheating combustion air to highly increase the

furnace efficiency and productivity by storage and

recovery of flue products.

ANDRITZ METALS developed with the PYROMARS and ZEMAP technology

a highly efficient recycling circuit of mixed pickling acid and rinse water -

making the stainless steel pickling an effluent free process.

99% recovery of hydrofluoric acid

99% recovery of metals as oxides

Recovery rates of up to 80% for nitric acid while the

rest is reduced to nitrogen gas and water (N2+H2O)

99% recovery for hydrofluoric acid, 99% for metals

The contaminated water of the rinsing section is

treated with the ZEMAP process minimizing

significantly the consumption of demineralized

water and eliminating the dissolved nitrates

in the effluents.

No waste water treatment

Unique selling points of Soutec’s SOUSPEED®:

40-100% higher output vs. existing TWB laser

welding systems

Gap controlled filler wire increases process window

for boron material (USIBOR®, PHS-Ultraform®)

Mismatch-control allows welding of thin AHSS material

Butt-to-butt positioning (no Z-bar) avoids seam

cooling function

Production of small and complex shapes

Covers 70% of future TWB market

Latest quality control technology (edge tracking,

gap measurement, inspection)

Innovation Pool – Welding Systems

SOUSPEED® – Revolution in TWB production


Aluminum-silicon coated steel grades used for hot stamping

The in-line ablation process has been integrated in the Soutec welding system

The cooperation with ArcelorMittal allows ANDRITZ Soutec to use patents and provide solutions to the

global market

Existing laser welding equipment can be upgraded

The process will further push USIBOR® and

DUCTIBOR® Tailor Welded Blank applications

on a global base

This process limits the Aluminum content in the

weld thus guaranteeing the weld quality

ANDRITZ Soutec in-line ablation and quality control

process provides superior weld quality

Innovation Pool – Welding Systems

Integrated ablation process to remove AlSi-coating
