Heat recovery boilers are used in the sponge iron industry to recover waste heat generated during the production process and convert it into useful energy. Sponge iron production involves the reduction of iron ore using non-coking coal in rotary kilns. The process generates significant amounts of waste heat, which can be captured and utilized by heat recovery boilers.
The recovered heat can be used for various applications, such as pre-heating the incoming air or the feedstock, heating the kiln, or generating steam for power generation. The use of heat recovery boilers results in improved energy efficiency and cost savings, as it reduces the need for external energy sources and lowers the overall energy consumption of the sponge iron production process.

In addition to the economic benefits, heat recovery boilers also play a critical role in reducing emissions and improving environmental sustainability in the sponge iron industry. By utilizing waste heat, sponge iron producers can reduce their carbon footprint and contribute to a more sustainable future.
