Tata Steel Filtration Plant Case Study



We are in the process of compiling case studies with some of our major customers and we have just completed a case study with Tata Steel.

Tata Steel have installed a Bag Filtration Plant on its existing secondary dust extraction system located within the Sinter Plant in Port Talbot, South Wales. The Bag Filtration Plant is required to reduce the outlet stack emissions to less than 10mg/Nm³ in order to comply with the Industrial Emissions Directives. As part of the Project, orders have been placed for the EC&I installation on the Bag Filter Plant and external ductwork to connect the new system to the existing plant.

There are 10 hoppers in total underneath bag filters to collect and capture the dust and various instruments were required including level switches, thermocouples, solenoid valves etc to be installed. The hoppers were then wired back to the PLC1. Every hopper has a dedicated junction box where the local instrumentation on the designated hopper will be wired to, from there a multicore cable will be run to Bag Filter RIO Panel. Suitable size junction boxes as per Tata’s specifications have been supplied and installed by C&P Engineering. The contract also included the hooking-up of 10 differential pressure transmitters and pressure indicators associated with the bag filter cleaning system.
