    System for energy optimization in a plant for the production of directly reduced metal ores
    Technical area
    The invention relates to a system for energy optimization in a plant for the production of directly reduced metal ores, in particular directly reduced iron. In this case, a plant for the production of directly reduced metal ores, in particular iron, at least one reduction unit (eg fluidized bed reactor, fixed bed reduction shaft such as MIDREX® reduction shaft, etc.), a device for separating gas mixtures with an associated compressor device and a reduction unit upstream gas heating device on. The process gases necessary for the production of directly reduced metal ores are at least partly conveyed via a supply line from at least one plant for the production of pig iron, such as e.g. fed to a smelting reduction plant and optionally recovered in part by recycling from the manufacturing process itself.
    State of the art
    The so-called direct reduction of metal ores
    Metals, in particular iron ore or iron oxide to directly reduced iron or sponge iron, is e.g. in a separate facility - a so-called direct reduction plant. Such a plant for the production of directly reduced metal ores usually comprises at least one reduction unit, such as a fixed bed reduction shaft, a fluidized bed reactor system, etc., depending on whether the metal ore to be reduced is e.g. is present in particulate or feinteilchenförmiger form or for further processing into pig iron, pig iron-like products or for steel production is needed. 201103316 • * 2 * · · · · ··· * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
    The material to be reduced (e.g., metal ore, iron ore, iron oxide, etc.) is used in direct reduction in particulate form - e.g. introduced as lump or pellets - or in feinteilchenkörniger form in the at least one reduction unit comprehensive plant for the production of directly reduced metal ore. The material in the reduction unit is then flowed through under the so-called countercurrent principle by a process gas, which is also referred to as a reducing gas. For example, the material is completely or partially reduced by the reducing gas. reduced to sponge iron - and oxidized the reducing gas in this process. The material reduced by the reducing gas in the reduction unit then has, for example, a degree of metallization of about 45 to more than 95%.
    The process gases (e.g., reducing gas) necessary for the reduction of the metal ores are recovered, for example, in a melter gasifier in a smelting reduction process (e.g., COREX®, FINEX®, oxygen blast furnace, etc.) or in a coal gasifier. The e.g. Reduction gas produced in a Einschraelzvergaser is preferably 750 to 1000 ° C hot and mostly dusty and carbon monoxide and hydrogen-rich (for example, with about 70 to 95% CO and H2). The reducing gas is preferably introduced in the middle to lower fourth of the reduction unit or in a fluidized bed reactor system in the first fluidized bed reactor. It then rises in the reduction unit or is passed from reactor to reactor in a fluidized bed reactor system, thereby countercurrently reducing the material (e.g., metal ore, iron ore, iron oxide, etc.). Then, the reducing gas is discharged as a so-called top gas or off-gas from the reduction unit.
    Thereafter, the reducing gas is purified in a gas purifier (e.g., gas scrubber) and optionally recycled as a recycle gas to remove carbon dioxide CO 2 to an upstream of the reduction unit for separating gas mixtures with concomitant compression. · * * * · · · «. , (* * * * * ≪ * * * ι t * * · · · I · | 4 β) The device used to separate gas mixtures is, in particular, pressure-swing adsorption systems such as pressure swing adsorption (PSA) and vacuum pressure swing Adsorption (VPSA) is used, since these are more economically advantageous compared to other absorption methods After the treatment in the device for separating gas mixtures, the recycle gas can then be introduced again into the reduction unit as reducing gas
    In addition to the e.g. partial recycling of the process gases used in the plant is called export gas, which is e.g. from the process of pig iron production or from a smelting reduction process, such as COREX® or FINEX®-15 process for the reduction process in the
    Reduction unit used. The term "export gas" serves in particular as a designation for that part of the so-called top gas, which is withdrawn from the smelting reduction process or the process of pig iron production, generally cooled and also dedusted (wet or dry), and optionally for further process gases such. Excess gas from the melter gasifier. The top gas is usually called the used reducing gas from a blast furnace, a melter gasifier or a reduction shaft / vortex-25 layer reactor.
    If the export gas is withdrawn from one or more smelting reduction plants (for example plants based on COREX® and / or FINEX® processes) for the production of directly reduced metal ores, such a plant is referred to as a combined plant. The export gas is thereby introduced into a supply line in the plant for the production of directly reduced metal ores or iron and in the respective reduction unit such. Fluidized bed reactor-35 system, reduction shaft furnace such as e.g. MIDREX® reduction shaft, etc.). During introduction, the supplied export gas can mix with the recycle gas of the plant for the production of directly reduced metal ores, where 201103316: < fc • ·
    the supply line for the export gas usually opens before the device for the separation of gas mixtures in a line for the recycle gas of the plant for the production of directly reduced metal ores. However, for an optimal operation of the reduction process in the plant for the production of directly reduced metal ores or iron, a well-functioning CO 2 removal in the device for the separation of gas mixtures from the process gas - i. a mixture of recycle gas of the plant and supplied export gas - necessary. Therefore, usually, the inlet pressure for the means for separating gas mixtures is increased by means of the associated compression means (e.g., one or more compressors). The inlet pressure at the means for separating gas mixtures should usually be constant at an inlet pressure level of about 3 to 8 bar gauge to ensure efficient and economical CO 2 removal from the process gases. For example, a PSA requires at least 6 bar overpressure and a VPSA requires at least about 3 overpressures for CO 2 removal.
    However, the reduction unit used requires a much lower operating pressure. For example, a so-called MIDREX® reduction shaft as a reduction unit only requires an inlet pressure of approx. 1.2 to 1.5 bar overpressure. This results from the one hand, relatively high operating pressure of the device for the separation of gas mixtures, especially when using a PSA system, and the other hand relatively low operating pressure of the reduction unit, a pressure difference, which are reduced for optimal operation of the plant for the production of directly reduced metal ores got to. Usually, this pressure difference is reduced by a system of control valves, which in particular between the device for separating gas mixtures and the reduction unit or a reduction unit 201103316
    switched gas heating device are fitted. However, a reduction of the pressure difference via control valves has the disadvantage that this pressure difference remains unused or that - especially for the inlet pressure level in the device for separating gas mixtures - energy must be expended, which is then destroyed unused. Thus, for example, when using a device for pressure swing adsorption (PSA) or a device for vacuum pressure swing adsorption (VPSA) and a so-called 10 MIDREX® reduction shaft as a reduction unit due to the respectively required operating pressure about 1 to 6 bar unused destroyed , Thus, for example, the specific energy or power consumption of a so-called composite system is relatively high and thus reduces their cost-effectiveness. 15 In addition, a noise generated by the valve station is relatively high.
    Furthermore, the export gas, which is introduced at least partly as process gas into the plant for the production of directly reduced metal ores, can be made from e.g. two
    Plants for the production of pig iron or smelting reduction plants originating, e.g. have different pressure levels at the respective transfer point. This can be caused, for example, by different system pressure specifications for the respective melt melter. In order to achieve an approximately constant input pressure level for the reduction unit or the device for the separation of gas mixtures, in such a combination systems, for example, a bypass flow rate control can be provided. However, this has the disadvantage that about 10 to 20% of the export gas is lost for use in the combined plant, in particular in the plant for the production of directly reduced metal ores, which also reduces the productivity and economic efficiency of the plant , 35 201103316 * «* 4 Ο
    Presentation of the invention
    The invention is therefore based on the object of specifying a system by which unused pressure differences can be usefully used and losses of export gas can be avoided and the profitability of a plant for the production of directly reduced metal ores is increased.
    The solution of this object is achieved by a system of the type described above, wherein a turbine, in particular expansion turbine, is fitted between the device for separating gas mixtures and the reduction unit upstream gas heating device such that a pressure gradient between the device for the separation of 15 gas mixtures and the reduction unit in usable for operating other components of the plant for the production of directly reduced metal ores energy forms is convertible. The main aspect of the proposed solution according to the invention is that by inserting a turbine, in particular an expansion turbine, which flows through the process gases in forwarding these gases from the device for the separation of gas mixtures to the reduction unit 25, an existing pressure gradient (eg from approx. 1 to 6 bar overpressure) can be used economically. The turbine simply converts the pressure gradient into other forms of energy (e.g., electrical energy, mechanical energy, etc.) which are ideally used in the plant for directly producing reduced metal ores, e.g. to operate additional components - can be used. As a turbine in particular an expansion turbine is used. An expansion turbine is a gas turbine in which a pressurized gas expands while dissipating work or energy, wherein the expanding gas is not generated in the turbine itself, but accumulates in previous processes. 35 201103316 •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

    Through the use of such a turbine, the energy stored in the existing between the device for the separation of gas mixtures and the reduction unit pressure gradient can be easily converted and harnessed. Thus, the energy which is supplied during the compression of the process gases by the compression device associated with the device for separating gas mixtures is recovered in a simple manner, at least partially. This increases the profitability of the plant for the production of directly reduced metal ores or a composite plant.
    Since the process gases after a treatment in the device for the separation of gas mixtures, especially after treatment in a PSA or VPSA, are very dry or have a very low water content (the dew point is about -110 ° C), hardly arise Problems with condensation due to cooling of the process gases during expansion in the turbine. Furthermore, by the means for separating gas mixtures, usually corrosive and / or tar-containing components from the process gases (such as H2S, PAK, etc.) are eliminated to a high percentage (e.g., 99% for H2S) by the adsorption means. This also disturbances / damage in the turbine, which may possibly be caused by corrosion, caking and / or abrasion, kept very low.
    In a further embodiment of the system according to the invention it is provided that for a preheating of the process gases before forwarding to the gas heating device, which is upstream of the reduction unit, a gas heat exchange device is fitted such that heat from the introduced into the device for the separation of gas mixtures process gases, in particular the so called export gas, is delivered to the process gases transferred to the reduction unit. In this way, on the one hand, the process gases, in particular the export gas originating from an ironmaking plant, are prevented from being introduced into the device 201103316 P · 43 * " * * * • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • β β β β β β β β β Separation of gas mixtures or cooled in the associated compression device. On the other hand, the heat given off is ideally used to preheat the cooled process gases, which after the device for separating gas mixtures, for example, have a temperature of about 30 to 50 ° C or which by the relaxation in the turbine further on e.g. about 10 to -20oC be cooled. As a result, additional energy can be saved when the process gases are heated by the gas heating device upstream of the reduction unit.
    The gas heat exchange device can advantageously be provided between the device for separating gas mixtures and the turbine or expansion turbine. A 15 downstream of the device for separating gas mixtures and the turbine upstream gas heat exchange device has the advantage that the heat emitted before the device for the separation of gas mixtures from the process gas, in particular export gas heat can be used in addition to energy in the turbine 20.
    Alternatively, it may also be favorable if the gas heat exchange device is connected upstream of the gas heating device connected upstream of the reduction unit and thus downstream of the turbine 25. This must be for the warming of the
    Process gases after the turbine in the gas heating device less energy are expended, as ideally already used by the process gases before being introduced into the device for the separation of gas mixtures for cooling in 30 of the gas heat exchange device heat to partially heat the gases fed to the reduction unit.
    The energy for a preheating of the gas from the device 35 for the separation of gas mixtures, the so-called product gas, can for example also come from the following waste heat sources: 201103316
    .. ..9 .... • · · * ·
    - flue gas of the heating device for reducing gas (eg reduction gas furnace) - so-called top gas from the reduction unit - cooling gas, which is used to cool the hot reduced 5 material in the reduction unit or in a downstream cooling device - waste heat from an upstream iron production process (eg Topgas, Offgas) Gas, generator gas, etc.) 10 It is also advantageous if the turbine is additionally used for a regulation of the process gas quantity or the process gas flow rate of the device for the separation of gas mixtures to the reduction unit and / or for a regulation of an outlet pressure after the device for separation of 15 gas mixtures is set up. Such controls (for example, the amount of process gas and / or the discharge pressure) by the turbine ensure, inter alia, in a simple manner that a maximum capacity of the device for separating gas mixtures - in particular a PSA or VPSA 20 - is not exceeded. This can e.g. be ensured by monitoring the feed gas flow to the device for the separation of gas mixtures, in particular PSA, and / or the outlet pressure. Exceeding this maximum capacity could otherwise result in damage to the gaseous separation device and / or hydraulic overload.
    In addition, an approximately constant amount of process gases, in particular reducing gas, 30 is assumed in the reduction unit. This approximately constant amount of gas or a
    Ratio of amount of reducing gas and directly reduced material (metal, iron (DRI), etc.) determines e.g. the product quality of the directly reduced metal or sponge iron. Therefore, depending on the desired product quality, a specifically selected, approximately constant amount of reducing gas in the reduction unit is necessary. This can likewise be achieved by regulating the process gas quantity or the process gas flow rate with the aid of the turbine. • 10 ··· «·· 201103316
    It is advantageous if for controlling the process gas quantity or the process gas flow rate, the turbine identifies either a so-called Einleitevorrichtung or includes a device for controlling valves, through which the process gas flow from the device for separating gas mixtures to the reduction unit to simple and inexpensive Is controlled or regulated.
    It is also favorable if, for the conversion of the pressure gradient between the device for separating gas mixtures and the reduction unit into electrical energy, a generator is provided which is driven by the turbine or the expansion turbine. By coupling the turbine to a generator, the pressure gradient is easily converted to electrical energy and can thus be used to operate other components of the plant to produce directly reduced metal ores (e.g., compressors, etc.). This ideally reduces power consumption or electricity costs of the system.
    In a preferred embodiment of the system according to the invention, it can be provided that, for a conversion of the pressure gradient between the device for separating gas mixtures and the reduction unit into mechanical energy, the turbine is equipped with further components of the installations for producing directly reduced metal ores, in particular compacting devices, such as e.g. Compressors, cooling gas compressors of the system and in a particularly preferred manner with the recycle gas compressors coupled. By this coupling, in which the energy is e.g. can be transferred directly from the turbine to one or more components of the plant for the production of directly reduced metal ores, in addition, a use of a generator and the associated costs can be saved.
    It is also advantageous if, for a start-up / shut-down and / or for a part-load operation, the plant for the production of • 1 ··· 201103316 * ··· ··· · f · · · «*« * · · · · * « · Directly reduced metal ores a bypass line - with, for example, control valves and / or valves - is provided to the turbine or expansion turbine.

    Embodiment of the invention
    FIG. 1 schematically and by way of example shows a structure of a plant for producing directly reduced metal ores 3, in particular iron, which comprises the energy optimization system according to the invention. Process gases 2, 11, 16 of the schematically illustrated, exemplary plant for the production of directly reduced metal ores 3 are from a plant for pig iron production 1, in particular a smelting reduction plant - for example based on the so 201103316
    COREX © - or FINEX® process. Such a system is also referred to as a composite system.
    In a combined plant, an export gas 2 of the plant for producing pig iron 1, as a reducing gas 11 for a reduction of metal ores, iron ore, etc. is usually used in a plant for the production of directly reduced metal ores 3, iron, etc. The export gas 2 is produced in the plant for pig iron production 1, for example, in a smelting reduction process such as e.g. the COREX® process or the FINEX® process, where the COREX® process uses metal ore in particulate form (for example, lump, pellet, etc.), whereas in the FINEX® process, the metal ore is introduced as fine ore.
    The export gas 2 passes as a process gas via a feed line into the plant for the production of directly reduced metal ores 3. Here, the feed line for the export gas 2 opens in a return line, in which the so-called top gas or recycle gas 16 of the system 3 again for a Reduction process is processed and returned.
    The export gas 2 and the recycle gas 16 are supplied to a compressor 4 (e.g., compressor) associated with a downstream gas mixture separator 7. With the compression device 4, a usually constant pressure level (for example from about 3 to 8 bar overpressure) necessary for the device for separating gas mixtures 7 is produced. It should also be noted that there is a pressure difference between the export gas 2 and the recycle gas 11. Since the export gas 2 fluctuates in amount (for example, by 10%), the amount of recycle gas 16 is usually varied via discharge pressure control. The recycle gas 16, which is not necessary for a pressure and quantity control, can be removed, for example via a discharge line 17, as a so-called DR export gas of the system 3 and, for example. thermally exploited (e.g., consumers in the smelting works such as roller hearth furnaces, slab pushers, etc.) or via a • 13 ** ·· 201103316
    Gas dispenser 18 (e.g., torch) are blown off. This discharge line 17 also has a valve for pressure control.
    After the compressor 4, the process gas 2 is cooled to a temperature necessary for treatment in the gas mixture separation means 7 (e.g., about 30 to 50 ° C). A cooling is necessary because the export gas 2 from the plant for pig iron production after its compression, for example, has a temperature of about 100 to 120 ° C. The process gas 2 is therefore passed to the compression device 4 through a gas heat exchanger 5, which simultaneously serves to preheat the C02 and / or water vapor largely liberated process gas 2 before the expansion device 8. For further cooling, the process gas 2 is passed through a further cooling device 6 before the device for separating gas mixtures 7. As a cooling device 6, for example, a heat exchanger can be provided with cooling water.
    After sufficient cooling to about 30 to 50 ° C, the process gas 2 is supplied to the device for the separation of gas mixtures 7 for CO 2 removal. This device 7 can be designed, for example, at a sufficiently high pressure level as a device for pressure swing adsorption 7 (PSA) or as a so-called vacuum pressure change adsorption device 7 (VPSA).
    Then, the process gas 2, largely freed from CO 2 and / or water vapor, which is usually very dry due to the treatment in the gas mixture separation device 7 - i. has a very low water content, and which, for example, also has a very small percentage of corrosive and tarry gas constituents, passed through the gas heat exchanger 5 for preheating. From there, the process gas flows to a turbine 8 or expansion turbine 8. In this turbine 8 is a 14 * 201103316

    Pressure gradient degraded or converted into other usable forms of energy.
    A reduction of the pressure gradient is necessary because for an efficient and economic CO 2 removal from the process gas 2 in the device for the separation of gas mixtures 7 usually an input pressure level of about 3 to 8 bar pressure is needed. For example, a PSA requires at least 6 bar overpressure and a VPSA requires at least about 3 bar overpressure for CO 2 removal 10. However, the reduction unit 12 presupposes a substantially lower operating pressure (for example in the case of a so-called MIDREX® reduction shaft about 1.2 to 1.5 bar overpressure} .This results from the relatively high operating pressure of the device for the separation of 15 gas mixtures 7 , in particular when using a PSA, and the other hand, relatively low operating pressure of the reduction unit 12, a pressure difference, which must be reduced for optimal operation of the plant for the production of directly reduced metal ores 3. In the turbine 20, this pressure drop is therefore degraded and into a For the conversion or use of the energy, the turbine 8 can be coupled to a generator, by means of which the energy stored in the pressure gradient is converted into electrical energy eg the compressors 4, 15 of the Anl be used for the production of directly reduced metal ores 3. Alternatively, the turbine 8 can be directly provided with a mechanical coupling to other components, in particular the compressors 4, 15, in order to use the energy stored in the pressure gradient as mechanical energy. The turbine 8 also has a device for regulating the
    Process gas quantity 9 or to regulate a reprinting after the device for the separation of gas mixtures 7, so that the maximum capacity of the device for the separation of gas .15 · 201103316 mixture 7 is not exceeded or no damage to this. As means for controlling the amount of process gas 9 either an introduction device or a device for controlling valves can be provided.
    The further cooled by the expansion in the turbine 8 process gas 2 with a temperature of e.g. About 10 to -20 ° C is then forwarded to a heater 10. Alternatively, instead of between the means for separating gas mixtures 7 and the turbine 8, the gas heat exchanger 5 may also be fitted downstream of the turbine 8 and upstream of the heater 10.
    The energy for preheating the process gas 2, which is forwarded from the means for separating gas mixtures 7, in the gas heat exchanger 5 may, for example, be supplied to a waste heat source such as e.g. a flue gas 19 of the heating device 10 (eg reducing gas furnace), a top gas 13 from the reduction unit 12, a cooling gas for cooling the hot reduced material in the reduction unit 12 or in a downstream cooling device or waste heat from an upstream iron production process (eg top gas, off-gas, generator gas , etc.).
    In the heating device 10, the process gas 2 or a gas mixture is then heated together with the recycle gas 16 for the reduction process and fed as reduction gas 11 to the reduction unit 12. Then, the reducing gas 11 is introduced into the reduction unit 12 in which the material to be reduced fed via a material feed - e.g. Metal ore, iron ore, etc., introduced to countercurrently reduce this material. As a reduction unit 12, depending on the material to be reduced (ore in particulate form, pellet, fine ore, etc.), a packed bed reduction well such as e.g. MIDREX® reduction shaft or a fluidized bed reactor system. • 16 * 201103316
    The reducing gas 11 is then discharged from the. derived upper part of the reduction unit 12 as off-gas or top gas 13 and cooled. For the purification of the gas 13, a reduction unit 12 downstream gas cleaning device 14 is provided. After the gas cleaning device 14, a compression device 15 is provided. The purified recycle gas 16 is then returned to the reduction process via the return line.
    FIG. 2 again shows diagrammatically and by way of example the plant for the production of directly reduced metal ores 3. However, export gas 2a, 2b is obtained from two plants for the production of pig iron 1a, 1b. For the sake of simplicity, the components of the system 3 shown in FIG. 2, which have the same function, have been given the same reference numerals. Since the plant for pig iron production 1a, 1b but at the transfer point of the respective export gas 2a, 2b may have different pressure levels, components such. the device for separating gas mixtures 7a, 7b with associated compression device 4a, 4b, the gas heat exchange device 5a, 5b, the turbine 8a, 8b, etc. provide for the respective pressure level.
    In this case, the export gas 2a from the first plant for pig iron production la is led via a first branch with compression device 4a, gas heat exchanger 5a and additional cooling device 6a to a first device for separating gas mixtures 7a. The existing pressure gradient to the reduction unit 12 is then supplied via a first turbine 8a with a device for controlling the respective amount of process gas 9a through the gas heat exchanger 5a for preheating the heater 10 and thus the reduction unit 12.
    The export gas 2b from a second plant for pig iron production 2b is via a second, parallel branch, which is also a compression device 4b, a gas 201103316
    • * ·································································································································································································································· The existing in the second branch pressure gradient to the reduction unit 12 is also degraded via a second turbine 8b with a device for controlling the respective process gas quantity 9b or converted into a usable form of energy. Then, the process gas in the second branch is also forwarded to the heating device 10 and the reduction unit 12 for preheating by the gas heat exchange device 5b of the second branch.
    In both branches, alternatively, as shown in FIG. 1, the respective gas heat exchanging device 5a, 5b may also be arranged downstream of the respective device for separating gas mixtures 7a, 7b and upstream of the respective turbine 8a, 8b. The respective export gas pressure at the two transfer points is regulated by two parallel compression means 15a, 15b for the recycle gas 16a, 16b. Different discharge pressures can then be set via these compression devices 15a, 15b. Excess recycle gas 16a, 16b, which is not required for pressure and flow control, may be e.g. discharged via discharges 17a, 17b as so-called DR export gas of the plant for the production of directly reduced metal ores 3 and e.g. thermally recycled or blown off via the gas disposal device 18.
    Figure 3 shows schematically and by way of example also the plant for the production of directly reduced metal ores 3, in which export gas 2a, 2b of two plants for pig iron production la, lb is obtained. For the sake of simplicity, in the case of the system 3 shown in FIG. 3, those components which have the same function as the components in FIGS. 1 and 2 have the same reference numerals as in FIGS. 1 and 2. Since the plants for pig iron production la, lb at the transfer point of the respective export gas 2a, 2b have different pressure levels, in the plant shown in Figure 3 for the production 18 * 201103316 of directly reduced metal ores 3 again components such. the device for separating gas mixtures 7a, 7b with associated compression device 4a, 4b provided for the respective pressure level. 5
    In this case, the export gas 2a from the first plant for pig iron production la again via a first branch to a first compression device 4a and the export gas 2b from the second plant for pig iron production 1b via a second 10 branch to a second compression device 4b out.
    Then, the two branches are brought together and the export gas 2a, 2b are passed together to a gas heat exchanger 5 and an additional cooling device 6. The different export gas pressure at the transfer point is regulated in the case of the system 3 shown in FIG. 3, for example via the two parallel compression devices 4a, 4b.
    After the additional cooling device 6, two devices arranged in parallel for separating gas mixtures 7a, 7b can be provided for removing CO 2 and / or water vapor from the process gas 20. The largely freed of C02 and / or steam process gas is then reunited after the devices 2ur separation of gas mixtures 7a, 7b and forwarded to the turbine 8 with the means for regulating the amount of process gas 9 9 to the
    Reduce pressure gradient. From there, the process gas flows as the reducing gas 11 via the heating device 10, from which e.g. the flue gas 19 can be withdrawn or used for preheating the process gas to the reduction unit 12. 30
    After the reduction unit 12, the reducing gas 11 is discharged as a so-called off-gas or top gas 13, cooled and cleaned in a gas cleaning device 14. After the gas purification device 14, a compression device 15a, 15b and return lines, for the respective recycle gas 16a, 16b are provided for each plant for crude iron production 1a, 1b, from which export gas 2a, 2b is obtained. In this case, it is possible to set different outlet pressures again via the compression devices 19a, 20b, 15b. Excess recycle gas 16a, 16b, which is not required for pressure and flow control, may be e.g. discharged via discharges 17a, 17b as so-called DR export gas of the plant for the production of directly reduced metal ores 3 and e.g. thermally recycled or blown off via the gas disposal device 18.
    In the variant of the installation for the production of directly reduced metal ores 3 shown in FIG. 3, the gas heat exchange device 5 can alternatively also be arranged after the parallel devices for separating gas mixtures 7a, 7b and in front of the turbine 8, as shown in FIG.
    By using a turbine 8 or expansion turbine 8 in the plant for the production of directly reduced metal ores 3, for example, electrical energy of about 2 to 6 MWh / h can be recovered or saved depending on the size of the plant. As a result, the energy consumption of such a system 3 can be significantly reduced and operating costs can be reduced. In addition, results from the use of the turbine 8, for example, a reduction of the CO 2 emission of the system 3, since a lower purchase of electrical energy for the operation of the system 3 is necessary. 20 ·· 201103316
