Mobarakeh steel's commitment to clean air/significant reduction of activity in the sponge iron sector to prevent air pollution

According to Me-Metals, industries, as one of the main pillars of economic development, play a very important role in generating wealth and employment, but nevertheless, industrial activities can have negative side effects on the environment and cause an increase in air, water and soil pollutants. . On the other hand, industries can play an important role in reducing pollution and protecting the environment by adopting clean technologies and sustainable production methods.

The city of Isfahan is prone to air pollution due to its special geographical location in a dry and semi-arid region. In the winter season, by reducing the temperature and creating stable atmospheric conditions, pollutants are trapped in the lower layers of the atmosphere and the phenomenon of temperature inversion occurs, which increases the concentration of pollutants and aggravates air pollution.

Mobarakeh steel's effective cooperation with Isfahan crisis management to reduce air pollution

Due to the importance of preserving the environment and reducing the harmful effects of industrial activities, Mobarakeh Steel has taken significant measures to reduce pollution in recent years, including installing pollution control equipment, using clean fuels, optimizing energy consumption, waste management, planting trees and creating green spaces has given.

According to the Isfahan crisis management report; Following the declaration of an air pollution emergency in Isfahan, Mobarakeh Steel has fulfilled its obligations and reduced the activity of the sponge iron production unit by more than 50%. The field inspections of this institution show that this action has led to a significant reduction in gas consumption in this unit, and following this reduction in consumption, additional gas has been allocated to power plants in the province, and in this way, fuel burning and increased air pollution have been prevented.

Mobarakeh steel's effective measures to reduce air and dust pollution

Also, Mobarakeh Steel closely monitors the amount of its output pollutants by installing three air pollution measurement stations and equipping all chimneys with online monitoring devices. In addition, installing foggers in the direct recovery unit and dust collectors in the pelletizing unit is an important step in dust control.

Field inspections of this company show that the progress of the dust collection system installation project for electric arc furnaces has reached 70% and is under the strict supervision of the Environmental Organization. Also, the modification of the dust suction system in arc furnaces is also underway.

Mobarakeh Steel has taken an important step in reducing air pollution by transporting 60% of its raw materials by rail. Also, regular technical inspections of the company's transport fleet show its commitment to preserving the environment. By handing over two air pollution measuring stations to the Environmental Organization, transparency in pollution monitoring is guaranteed more than ever.

In addition, due to complex and energy-intensive production processes, the steel industry is one of the main sources of greenhouse gas emissions, especially carbon dioxide (CO2). Mobarakeh Steel Company, as one of the largest steel producers in Iran and the region, plays an important role in reducing carbon emissions and protecting the environment.

This company takes steps such as using renewable energy, optimizing fuel consumption, reducing the consumption of raw materials, planting trees and creating green spaces. It is important to reduce carbon production and thus minimize air pollution.

Mobarakeh steel's innovative solutions to reduce soil pollution

As a leading industry, Mobarakeh Steel has important measures such as setting up a separate unit in waste management in its portfolio, and it takes action to prevent soil pollution at the source. In fact, the most important activities carried out in this field are knowledge-based projects.

The management of industrial effluents is also one of the measures taken to prevent soil pollution, the design of the most advanced treatment systems has been carried out, and this shows the environmental performance of Mobarakeh Steel.

A new development in the asphalt industry with steel slag is blessed

Mobarakeh steel slag is a valuable by-product that is produced in millions of tons every year. This material is not only known as a green and sustainable building material, but it has created a revolution in the road construction industry by significantly improving the quality of asphalt.

Studies have shown that the use of slag in the mix of asphalt increases its resistance to weather changes and increases the lifespan of roads significantly. In addition to asphalt, slag is widely used in the production of concrete, road infrastructure, and even prefabricated parts, and due to these advantages, Mobarakeh Steel, in cooperation with Isfahan Municipality, has taken effective steps towards the widespread use of slag in the construction projects of this city.

Separation and recycling of 95% of Mobarakeh steel waste

Mobarakeh Steel has taken an important step towards sustainable waste management by accurately separating 95% of its waste,By focusing on the recycling of metal waste such as slag and iron sludge, this company not only reduces the volume of buried waste, but also by implementing more than 6 research projects, it seeks to find new uses for these materials in different industries, so considering the high volume The production of steel and consequently the production of by-products such as slag, these actions show the serious commitment of Mobarakeh Steel to preserve the environment and sustainable development.

Also, Mobarakeh Steel has taken an important step towards the realization of a circular economy by compiling a comprehensive waste atlas. This atlas not only helps to accurately identify the types of waste and their volume, but also paves the way for the optimal use of these wastes in various industries.By changing the attitude towards waste from a harmful factor to a valuable resource, it is possible to help preserve the environment and reduce the consumption of natural resources. Also, creating this information infrastructure is a necessary step to transform waste into new raw materials and create added value.
