Velenje, January 31st, 2008: 

Esotech has, successfully and within the framework of contracting term, delivered the biggest structure for the customer – Acroni – a purifying plant for dross pits Blooming and Steckel and a slime processing structure.
In Esotech, we successfully and within specified time period delivered the largest structure – a purifying plant for dross pits Blooming and Steckel in December 2007. We made PZI project documentation, accomplished building works, delivered and synchronized the equipment.

The new industrial purifying plant with slime processing will reduce total cooling water consumption on indirect and direct system to minimal possible quantities, only related to supplementing fresh water into closed system that arise from internal losses and herewith enable to the customer:

• transition from open to closed cooling system for rolling mill frameworks Blooming and Steckel
• purification and cooling of water (capacity of the indirect system amounts to150 m³/h, direct system capacity amounts to 1236 m³/h)
• reduction of cooling water consumption to only 2% of prior quantity due to closing of cooling circuits
• environment protecting effects – reducing environmental burdens of emissions
• financial savings at economic taxes
• readiness of all waste slime for further sale or possible filling into EOP.
• central control system
• compliant to Slovenian and BREF legislation.
  

In February 2008, we also successfully concluded 30-day cycle of testing, tuning and monitoring operation in real conditions under full loading.
