steel plant emissions control
A steel plant's emissions-control system is a complex arrangement that works to ensure that the steel-producing processes don't have detrimental environmental effects. Its main functions are capturing, treating, and filtering pollutants such as dust and sulfur dioxide (SO2) before they get into the atmosphere. Most such systems today use the latest filtration technologies, ESPs, and scrubbers to cut pollution. In steel making, environmental controls are essential at every stage of the process. This means that blast furnaces, sinter plants and rolling mills must all have their own "environmental protection gear" just like any other part of the steel mill. The technology is universally applicable in the steel sector, reducing pollution emissions and helping to protect public health in nearby areas.
