GE technology will use emissions from iron and steel production to generate cleaner electricity.
Instead of burning waste gas in a boiler, the off-gas from Handan’s blast furnace and coke oven will power a GE 9E Gas Turbine to generate power.
The waste-to-value solution at Handan also will include two-stage centrifugal compressors manufactured by GE.
The waste gas used in this solution had been considered too low quality for high efficiency power generation.
Handan’s benefits include higher efficiency and more output with fewer emissions, and the GE 9E Gas Turbine also can reduce costs for Handan by enabling them to buy less electricity from the grid with fewer emissions and a smaller footprint.
Work on the Handan plant is scheduled to start in next year.
