Two CISDI-built rotary hearth furnaces have been dried off ready for production.

Baosteel Wuhan/WISCO’s RHF1 is designed to treat 200,000 tonnes of solid waste a year. It will be working in conjunction with the plant’s RHF2, which features the same annual treatment capacity. CISDI built their main lines and auxiliary facilities on an EPC basis.

All iron and zinc-bearing sludges and dusts can now be recycled inside the plant, reducing external emissions and achieving cascade transformation to resources.

Xinyu Steel’s RHF applies CISDI’s patented technologies to treat its iron and zinc-bearing sludges and dusts. Built by CISDI on an EPC basis, it took nine months for the furnace to dry off.

The 250,000-tonne treatment line totally negates the need to store piles of solid waste and removes environmental and systematic operation problems caused when waste returns to the production procedures without this level of eco-friendly treatment. It is enabling Xinyu Steel to achieve its aim of zero-waste-discharges.
