International technology Group ANDRITZ has received an order from Prosperity Tieh, Taiwan, to supply a new high-capacity pickling and galvanizing line for hot-rolled carbon steel strip. Start-up of the line is planned for mid-2023. The ANDRITZ scope of supplies and services includes the terminal equipment, a laser welder and a side trimmer at the inlet, a scale breaker, the pickling section, skin-pass mill #1, a direct-fired furnace (DFF) for heat-to-coat operation, the galvanizing section, skin-pass mill # 2 with tension leveler, the chemical coaters with drying section, and the electrical and automation equipment for the complete line. The delivery will include the following sustainable ANDRITZ solutions: * A new acid regeneration plant (ARP) to recycle the waste acid from the pickling line - including the proven ANDRITZ ECOmode process which reduces CO2 emissions from the ARP by 25%. * A heat recovery system for the furnace that will use hot exhaust gases from the furnace to heat the air needed for the drying process in the coating section. * After heat recovery, the main off-gas streams from the DFF and ARP are combined for exhaust gas treatment using a DeNOx system to minimize the NOx levels in the exhaust gas. The dryer exhaust gas system in the post-treatment section is equipped with VOC treatment (volatile organic compound emissions). With ANDRITZ's state-of-the-art, sustainable technologies, this line will produce hot-dip galvanized (GI) or ZM-coated /(zinc-aluminum-magnesium) flat steel. ANDRITZ will also provide consultancy on the production of ZM-coated material. This order confirms the long-lasting, good relationship between ANDRITZ and Prosperity Tieh. In 2004, ANDRITZ delivered and successfully commissioned a push-pickling line with ARP and in 2018, a 4-high cold-rolling mill to Prosperity Tieh. Additionally, ANDRITZ has performed various upgrades and modernizations on existing lines. Established in Taiwan in 1985, Prosperity Tieh Enterprise Co. Ltd (PTEC) evolved from a traditional stripping, shearing, pipe and washer pressing mill to a manufacturer of professional hot-dip galvanized and pre-painted steel. - End - ANDRITZ GROUP International technology group ANDRITZ offers a broad portfolio of innovative plants, equipment, systems and services for the pulp and paper industry, the hydropower sector, the metals processing and forming industry, pumps, solid/ liquid separation in the municipal and industrial sectors, as well as animal feed and biomass pelleting.
