Installing equipment that aligns with the best global practices and enables the production of consumer-driven products while minimizing energy and resource consumption is one of the most effective ways to reduce the environmental impact of an enterprise. Upgrading our facilities with advanced purification equipment and implementing automatic emissions monitoring systems are equally vital and effective measures for fostering sustainable development. This is precisely the approach we follow.

In 2021, we introduced a new carbon re-burning furnace installation, provided by a leading global manufacturer of industrial furnaces for the electrode industry. The installation also includes modern equipment for the thermal purification of exhaust gases, ensuring compliance with EU standards.

Our Achievements
01 12,000 tons
The annual output of the rebaking kilns reached 12,000 tons.
02 By 20%
Gas consumption during the baking process was reduced by 20%. Furthermore, the introduction of new equipment ensured a more uniform and higher-quality baking of pressed semi-finished products.
03 By 5 times
The loading and removal of bulk material process was accelerated by 5 times, thanks to a specialized pneumatic installation. This improvement led to significant enhancements in working conditions for the loading and unloading personnel.
04 As low as 100 mg/m3
The content of CO2 in the kiln's off-gases has been reduced to as low as 100 mg/m3, achieved through the implementation of two parallel regenerative thermal oxidation systems. These RTO systems have increased tar removal efficiency to approximately 95%.
05 By 3 times
The production cycle for nipples has been reduced by 3 times. Previously, it lasted six months, but with the implemented improvements, it has been significantly shortened to just 2-2.5 months.
06 ≈0 %
The approximate concentration of benzopyrene in the exhaust gases from the baking furnaces is 0%, thanks to the thermal cleaning carried out at the thermal afterburner.
