AKW Equipment + Process Design’s Best Available Technology awarded with a 7-digit contract!

AKW Equipment + Process Design unique processing technology for blast furnace sludge recycling, which is officially listed by the European Commission as “Best Available Technology”, is proud of setting a new milestone. With the award from a major European steel maker of an important contract for the development, delivery, mounting and start-up of a turnkey sludge recycling plant, we continue to demonstrate our commitment towards excellence in material management and circular economy.

The solution, tested in AKW Equipment + Process Design pilot test center, will significantly reduce the zinc oxide (ZnO) concentration in the blast furnace sludge, hence allowing it to be re-integrated in the steel manufacturing process.

With a capacity of 72 tpd input, the start-up of this reference system is expected by mid-2023, and constitutes a major differentiation edge for the customer and his CO2 emission reduction plan.
