Data from Russian analytical agencies show that Russian crude steel production increased to 75.8 million tons in 2023, an increase of 5.9% year-on-year, which is close to a resurgence to pre-Russian-Ukrainian conflict output. In addition, the iron production in 2023 was 54.5 million tons, meaning up 5.6% year-on-year.Russia stepped up its steelmaking efforts despite internal…

Having huge energy saving and emission reduction potentials through fuel substitution, efficient energy use, raw material replacement, broken glass recycling and glass product thinning, the glass industry plays an important role in achieving the "double carbon" goal. And at present, oxy-fuel combustion technology is gradually emerging.What is Oxyfuel Combustion Technology?Oxyfuel combustion technology refers to using…

In 2020, China's crude steel, pig iron and steel production were 1,053 million tons, 887.52 million tons and 1,324.89 million tons respectively, representing year-on-year increases of 5.2%, 4.3% and 7.7%. The crude steel production accounted for 58% of the world's total output. From 2011 to 2020, China’s manufacturing industries and crude steel output annually climbed…

On December 10, 2023, 2 sets of VPSA oxygen plants (5556Nm3/h, 90%) built by PKU Pioneer for Gansu Jinchuan Group were successfully started up to provide stable oxygen for nickel flash smelting furnace and copper synthesis furnace.As a smelting furnace that intensifies production with high productivity and low energy consumption, powdered materials that fully contact…

PKU Pioneer hereby launches the steel industry promotional video (2023 new version)! PKU Pioneer has been promoting the application of VPSA (Vacuum Pressure Swing Adsorption) and PSA (Pressure Swing Adsorption) oxygen generation technology, low-carbon utilization technologies of steel exhaust gases, and dry fine desulfurization technologies in the steel sector. Driven by the "dual-carbon" strategy, and…

For small to medium-sized plants (<20,000 Nm3/h), VPSA oxygen generation technology has the following advantages over conventional cryogenic air separation process:1) Economically, VPSA oxygen-generating equipment has smaller investments and lower operation costs.2) The VPSA oxygen generation process is simpler, with fewer equipment components and precision, higher degree of automation, and lower requirements for the operators.3)…

India’s steel sector accounts for about 12% of India’s carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, with an emission intensity of 2.55 tonne of CO2/tonne of crude steel (tCO2/tcs) compared with the global average emission intensity of 1.85 tCO2/tcs. To this end, the Government is focusing on green hydrogen-based steelmaking, carbon capture, storage and utilization (CCUS), and best-in-class…

Beginning stage: In the early 1970s, the US Union Carbide Corporation industrialized oxygen production by PSA technology for the first time. in the mid-1970s, the vacuum pressure adsorption (VPSA) oxygen production process was proposed, which greatly improved the scale and the economy of the oxygen plant, laying the foundation for the large-scale popularization and application…

The iron and steel industry could be affected by various factors such as the fluctuation of raw material prices, policy impacts, environmental protection policies, international trade barriers, supply and demand of downstream products, macroeconomic development and other integrated factors, so a considerable portion of the iron and steel enterprises set their sights on those technologies…

PKU Pioneer has devoted itself to VPSA (Vacuum Pressure Swing Adsorption) and PSA (Pressure Swing Adsorption) technologies for nearly 25 years. With multiple innovations and iterations, our VPSA and PSA oxygen generation technology has been developed into the world's top level, making us the world champion in this industry. The highest oxygen production capacity of…

Steel flue gases are by-products during conventional iron and steel productions: blast furnace gas (BFG), basic oxygen furnace gas (BOFG), and coke oven gas (COG), all of which have relatively high CO, CO2, or H2 content with re-use potentials in carbon-based chemical production. PKU Pioneer, as a professional brand in VPSA and PSA industry, developed…

On September 20, 2023, the Lonshi mining, processing and smelting integrated project (Congo Lonshi Copper Project) built by JCHX Mining Management Co., Ltd. in Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) in Africa was successfully completed and formally put into production. All the units involved held a grand commissioning ceremony in the electrowinning workshop of the…
