Retrofit for the steel industry - retrofitting industrial burners

Energy efficiency and environmental protection are the focus of the steel industry: WS delivers major order. Retrofitting highly efficient industrial burners instead of building new ones is often the most economical way to comply with emission limits and achieve maximum efficiency.

Steel industry relies on cutting-edge technology

The second delivery and commissioning of a major order for highly efficient WS industrial gas burners as part of another modernization project is now imminent.

Why is the focus now on retrofitting rather than building new industrial furnaces?

Investments in new plants are often being postponed due to the challenging competitive conditions in the European steel industry. Nevertheless, new emission limits must be complied with and energy efficiency and operational safety must be increased. Rising energy prices and new targets for reducing the CO2 footprint, whether self-imposed or externally imposed, are also having an impact. Retrofitting industrial burners in existing systems is often the most economical way to achieve greater efficiency.
