Savings for Tata Steel
03 February 2014
A fume extraction system at Tata Steel’s Aldwarke melting shop, in Rotherham is reported to be saving £570,000 a year on energy costs thanks to the installation of variable-speed drives (VSDs) and high efficiency motors by ABB.
The contract involved the supply of services and solutions from across the ABB group, as well as co-ordination with a number of other subcontractors. This included the supply and installation of five 690 V regenerative drives with active front-end supply units, as well as five 1200 kW, 6-pole, air-cooled motors.
Also supplied were two high performance pressure transmitters with remote diaphragms.
