Steel Industry 9 Million Kcal Molten Salt Heater

Introduction

In a collaboration with a domestic steel mill, ZOZEN Boiler implemented an innovative 9 million kcal molten salt heater system, harmonized with a gas turbine generator set. This integration not only enhances energy efficiency but also supports peak loads within the power system effectively. With a remarkable 6-hour thermal storage capacity totaling 79.5MWh, this solution ensures stable power system operations.

Key Role and Advantages of the Molten Salt Furnace:
The cornerstone of this project’s success lies in the ZOZEN Boiler RYQ series molten salt furnace. Specifically, the RYQ-10500KW model, generating 9 million kcal/h, precisely meets the stringent demands for high-temperature heating processes. The molten salt furnace’s attributes of low viscosity, high stability, and remarkable thermal storage density render it optimal for extensive, prolonged medium and high-temperature thermal storage needs.

Enhancing Power Generation Efficiency:
The incorporation of the molten salt furnace has notably enhanced the power generation efficiency of the gas turbine generator set. This enhancement stems from the optimized energy utilization achieved through efficient heat conversion.

Robust Thermal Support:
With a thermal output of 9 million kcal/h, the molten salt furnace provides a sturdy thermal base for the project’s demanding high-temperature heating processes.

Notable Environmental Benefits:
Projections indicate that over the project’s lifecycle, approximately 180,000 tons of carbon emissions can be curbed, with about 50 million m³ of short-term gas emissions captured. These measures effectively mitigate environmental pollution, underscoring the project’s sustainable and eco-conscious approach.
