Increasing the energy efficiency of the industrial enterprise technological and mechanical equipment due to the use of converter steam

The article discusses the possibility of using converter steam to improve energy efficiency. The development of the authors will improve the performance of technological equipment in mechanical engineering. The problem of inefficient use of heat and loss of energy exists at mechanical engineering enterprises. In addition, environmental safety must be ensured at a high technological level. The above scientific problems are solved in this article by the authors. To solve the set tasks, scientific methods are used related to the generalization of data sets, their processing and the construction of an optimization model. In addition, variants of technical solutions at the enterprises of the energy industry are shown. To determine the long-term direction of increasing the energy efficiency of the facility, it is necessary to conduct a comparative analysis of the options. We have analyzed the use of converter steam for heating process equipment. It can be concluded that the method has mainly strengths, but since steam production has an almost constant cycle, the use of this method will not have a positive effect on eliminating problems. Prospects for using the technological solutions developed by the authors are associated with their practical application at metallurgy and mechanical engineering enterprises. It should be noted that the authors were the first to propose such a method for utilizing heat.
