Plant Visits

Tour 1 (Coke oven plant): Five batteries with total 200 ovens and a chamber volume of 21,5 m3 are in operation. This only one coke oven plant in Austria generates approx. 1,3 million metric tons of blast furnace coke from 1,8 million metric tons of coking coal each year. All batteries have been modernized and equipped with systems for a high level of environmental protection and automatization as well as state-of-the art coal unloading and preparation equipment.

Tour 2 (Sinter plant): One sinter strand with a suction area of 222 m2  and layer hight of 700 mm produces approx. 2,8 million metric tons of sinter per year. The plant is equipped with selective partial offgas recirculation system, a dry offgas cleaning system (MEROS) and a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) DeNOx system and is the benchmark for high productivity sintering operation with maximum emission reduction.

Tour 3 (Blast furnace plant): Ironmaking in Linz is performed with 3 blast furnaces, each equipped with PCI and injection equipment for several other alternative reducing agents like plastics, oil, crude tar, NF and COG. Approx. 4,8 million metric tons of hot metal per year are produced with BF A (hearth diameter 12,0 m) and BF 5/6 (hearth diameter 8,0 m). The latest developments in charging technology, process automatization and measuring techniques lead to an outstanding blast furnace performance.
