Measures at the Auxiliary Materials Plant, Cold Strip Mill and Sinter Plant, three of the site's largest sources of PAH emissions, have contributed to significantly lower PAH concentrations compared with 2019. At the Cold Strip Mill, an advanced environmental installation filters and treats gases from the annealing process, helping to reduce emissions.

Optimising flue gas cleaning at the Sinter Plant

At the Sinter Plant, we increased the use of activated carbon in the existing flue gas cleaning system. PAHs bind to the activated carbon and are captured in the dust filters, helping to reduce emissions from the installation. This measure forms part of our broader Roadmap programme to reduce PAH emissions.

Improvements at Coking and Gas Plant 2

At Coking and Gas Plant 2, operational and technical improvements have been implemented to reduce emissions from furnace doors and other openings. These measures have helped reduce visible emissions and improve process control. Together with other Roadmap measures, they contribute to lower PAH emissions from the installation.
