Engineeringtalk reported that Edwards has supplied a two module dry pump steel degassing system to Tenova Core as part of a secondary metallurgical facility for McConway & Torley.

The Edwards dry pump system provides MandT with potential energy cost savings of more than 90% over traditional steam ejector systems. The system reduces water effluent and CO2 emissions, eliminates moisture contamination and removes the need for high pressure steam and high temperature fuel burner systems.

Each of the Edwards steel degassing modules comprises a HV30000 high capacity vacuum booster pump backed by a SN7000 high compression booster pump and one of the latest generation IDX1000 dry screw pumps.
