ES 44 | Gas analysis for cleaner industrial prosesses
A partnership for safety, efficiency and reliability
High-performance gas analysis technologies were required to ensure the safety, efficiency, and reliability of the hydrogen systems used in the DRI process. With more than forty years of successful partnership with the steel and iron company, Servomex was highly familiar with the application and recommended the installation of three SERVOTOUGH 2500 photometric and three SERVOTOUGH Oxy 1900 paramagnetic analyzers to monitor the process.
Designed for analysing corrosive, toxic and flammable gas streams, the SERVOTOUGH 2500 analyzers measure the concentrations of the flammable gases to ensure optimised
The benefits of partnership
The deployment of Servomex’ s gas analysis technologies delivered multiple benefits to the project:
Enhanced Process Efficiency: Accurate monitoring of gas compositions ensures that the hydrogen reduction process operates at peak efficiency, minimizing resource use and maximizing output.
Sustainability Gains: By facilitating the use of green hydrogen in place of coke, Servomex’ s solutions contribute directly to the elimination of CO₂ emissions from the iron reduction process, supporting the overarching goal of decarbonizing the steel industry. performance of the reduction process. SERVOTOUGH Oxy 1900 analyzers utilise Servomex’ s renowned Paramagnetic sensing technology to provide the stable, reliable percentage oxygen measurements required to maintain process safety and efficiency.
Integrated with complementary sampling systems into a single analyzer house by Servomex’ s in-house systems team, Servomex’ s solution seamlessly combined with the company’ s proprietary and third-party technologies to achieve the comprehensive gas monitoring and analysis capability required.
Safety Assurance: As hydrogen is highly flammable, Servomex’ s precise oxygen measurements are critical for maintaining safe operating conditions.
A Reliable Solution: Servomex’ s decades-long partnership underscored the commitment to providing robust solutions backed by unparalleled expertise in gas analysis technologies. This history of collaboration ensured a seamless integration of Servomex technologies into the facility.
Pioneering the future of green steel
The partnership between the industry leaders underscores the critical role of advanced gas analysis in enabling sustainable industrial practices. By replacing carbon-based fuels with green hydrogen, the facility is proving that large-scale decarbonization of hard-to-abate sectors is not only possible but achievable within the coming decades. As the project moves forward with its vision, Servomex will continue the collaboration, supporting the wider adoption of green steel production technologies.
Servomex is honoured to have contributed to this transformative initiative, reflecting our commitment to innovation and sustainability, and aligning with our mission to provide solutions that make a meaningful impact on global challenges. As the world transitions to a sustainable, low-carbon future, Servomex remains at the forefront of providing gas analysis that empowers customers to enable a cleaner, healthier, and more productive world.
