Natural resource management, raw materials and energy

 

Nowadays, steel production and consumption are the main indicators of the development of countries and communities. The presence of the steel industry in a region has a significant impact on the development process, culture, level of knowledge, job creation, research, education and business in that region. Everyday human life is mixed with steel, and the steel industry plays an important role in the construction, reconstruction and development of country. Investing and improving the steel industry in country seems economical and logical, provided that the construction site, production process, supply of natural resources and energy and proper project management are chosen. The main topic of steel industry in country is environmental protection and energy efficiency. If special processes and equipment are used, it is possible to save energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions up to 25% in Iran's steel industry.

Due to the sensitivity of this issue in order to save energy consumption at MIDHCO, the following points are considered in the selection, implementation and operation of the project:

Transportation, storage and storage of materials in general, contractors who have the equipment, from inspection, transport with special packaging, to domestic transport conditions, site maintenance in special spaces according to the nature of the equipment (temperature controlled, indoor, Open) parts are stored in special warehouses with hardware and software controls, and at the end of the project, the project is delivered to the project executor at MIDHCO.

Energy Natural Resource Management in Project Selection:

The choice of location, the proximity of the designs to each other and as a set, the proximity of wall to wall with the mine, attention to energy price increase, the choice of combined technologies, which means two steel processes that produce energy in the furnace itself and the type of gas burner relies on the country's comparative advantage and reduces environmental costs.

In the selection process, the energy consumption is reduced by using the return of thermal gases in the heating chambers, heating the input materials and constructing the power plant from the exhaust gases of the coke plant for steel production. In the copper design, energy is managed using the hydrometallurgical method instead of pyrometallurgy, which greatly reduces power consumption and the plant's proximity to the mine.

Management of natural resources and energy during operation:

With the construction of a coke plant close to the factory and near the coal mine, the exhaust gases will go to the power plant. Therefore, it is effective in reducing pollution and by reducing the electricity generation of the project, energy costs are greatly reduced, especially with increasing energy prices. In the high-furnace steel plant, CDQ also reduces energy consumption during operation. Due to the construction site, which is Kerman, energy losses are greatly reduced due to the lack of cold weather in the smelting industry. Therefore, by managing energy in the construction period with the factors mentioned above and in the exploitation period, energy efficiency is achieved by reducing production costs.
