Utilization of converter gases through energy chemical accumulation

This study presents an exergy analysis of options for efficient converter gases in steel production. The analysis concluded that the most preferable option involves regenerative fuel utilization of converter gas through an energy chemical accumulation process. A geometric model of the energy chemical accumulation reactor was developed and investigated using ANSYS Fluent. The study determined reactor dimensions that ensure an equilibrium syngas composition. Furthermore, it established the correspondence between the energy chemical accumulation reactor's geometric parameters and the dimensions of the inclined gas duct in the converter gas cooling boiler.
