Patent ID: 7968045

Claim:
An installation for production of secondary steel based on scrap, comprising a charging device ( 1 ); a scrap preheater ( 2 ) located downstream of the charging device ( 1 ); a smelting unit ( 3 ) for melting scrap and located downstream of the preheater ( 2 ); a reheating device ( 4 ); a conduit connecting the reheating device ( 4 ) with the smelting unit ( 3 ) for feeding a process gas generated in the smelting unit ( 3 ) directly into the reheating device ( 4 ) for reheating the process gas therein; a heat exchanger ( 5 ) located downstream of the reheating device ( 4 ) for cooling the reheated process gas and for heating fresh gas which is fed in the preheater ( 2 ); a dedusting installation ( 8 ) located downstream of the heat exchanger ( 5 ) for dedusting the cooled process gas; and an adsorbtion device ( 7 ) located downstream of the preheater ( 2 ) and upstream of the reheating ( 4 ) for freeing a warm gas that leaves the preheater ( 2 ) free from harmful material and for feeding a gas freed from harmful material to the reheating device ( 4 ).
