JSC KALUGIN is a world leader in the design and construction of air heaters. The experience of using refractory materials of JSC BKO in ongoing projects

The results of the introduction of Kalugin blast furnace air heaters (VNK, JSC KALUGIN) at various metallurgical enterprises are presented. The main trends in improving the technologies used in the reconstruction and construction of air heaters are outlined, which significantly increase the previously achieved technical and economic indicators and the efficiency of thermal units. Examples of the implementation of specific projects in which refractory materials produced by the Borovichi Refractory Plant (JSC BKO) were used are considered.

Abstract

The results of the introduction of Kalugin blast furnace air heaters (VNK, JSC KALUGIN) at various metallurgical enterprises are presented. The main trends in improving the technologies used in the reconstruction and construction of air heaters are outlined, which significantly increase the previously achieved technical and economic indicators and the efficiency of thermal units. Examples of the implementation of specific projects in which refractory materials produced by the Borovichi Refractory Plant (JSC BKO) were used are considered.
