Project Idea Concept

Converting Process Gases into Feedstock for Chemicals and Ironmaking A lot of combustible process gases are used for energy supply • Iron and Steel works • Chemical industry • Petroleum refineries Utilisation as feedstock for chemicals as well as ironmaking and Alternative coverage of the resulting energy gap shall give additional economic value Chemical industry has shown that in their chemical park concepts To extend that concept crossing the boarders of branches it is necessary to get suitable technical solutions
