Metallic Heat Exchanger to Save Wheeling Pittsburgh Steel Millions

May 27 2004

Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel Corporation began using a new metallic heat exchanger on its No. 1 Blast Furnace on April 12. The device, which pre-heats blast gas used in the operation of the blast furnace, is expected to reduce the consumption of coke by about 3,000 tons per month. The $4 million heat exchanger is expected to pay for itself in coke savings during the first two months of its operations. The installation of a metallic heat exchanger is a first-of-its-kind application in the steel industry.
