The Technology Center has an innovative team with complete professional categories, reasonable talent level, high technical level and dedication. The innovation team covers many specialties such as iron and steel metallurgy, pressure processing, metal materials, mechatronics and so on. With the project as the link, according to the needs of the task, set up an innovative research team with reasonable structure, and carry out scientific research and innovation activities under the leadership of technical leaders or technical leaders. At the same time, we will continue to strengthen Industry-University-Research's cooperation and establish long-term and stable cooperative relations with Peking University Institute of Technology, Northeastern University, University of Science and Technology Beijing, Zhengzhou University, Zhejiang University, Institute of Process Engineering of China Academy of Sciences, and Iron and Steel Research Institute. Four R&D bases have been established, namely, Institute of Process Engineering of Chinese Academy of Sciences-Tianjin Iron and Steel Co., Ltd., Iron and Steel Research Institute-Tianjin Iron and Steel Co., Ltd., State Key Laboratory of Rolling Technology and Continuous Rolling Automation of Northeastern University-Tianjin Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. and Peking University Institute of Technology, which are mainly devoted to developing new products with high added value and high technology content, and saving energy in related technologies and processes. Vigorously develop circular economy: Tiangang adheres to the road of circular economy development, realizes efficient utilization of energy resources, implements "four closed circuits" of circulating gas, industrial water, solid waste and waste heat steam according to resource consumption reduction-reuse-recycling, and vigorously promotes advanced technologies such as new energy-saving technologies, new processes and new materials to enhance the competitiveness of enterprises.
Tiangang has equipped special environmental protection facilities for all pollution sources, which has strengthened the recycling of waste resources and improved the utilization efficiency of resources. At present, the recycling rate of solid waste such as iron slag, steel slag, iron-bearing dust mud, steel rolling scale and environmental protection dust reaches 100%. Power boiler, double-rod, double-high speed wire and medium plate heating furnace all adopt heat storage technology, which can fully utilize blast furnace gas; Ladle baking, Maierzi active lime kiln and medium plate heat treatment heating furnace all burn converter gas, which improves the utilization rate of secondary energy. Negative energy steelmaking is realized in the steelmaking process. The residual energy and waste heat are fully utilized by using blast furnace gas residual pressure power generation (TRT) projects and low-pressure waste heat steam power generation projects such as converter and sintering. The reuse rate of produced water reaches 98% by adopting the methods of clear water diversion, multi-purpose of one water, cascade utilization and recycling.
The benefits of energy saving and emission reduction are obvious: Tiangang focuses on the enterprise energy saving and emission reduction targets proposed by the municipal government, gives full play to the circular economy advantages formed after the eastern part is fully completed and put into operation, and vigorously promotes the implementation of energy saving targets. Through measures such as tapping the potential of energy conservation, technological innovation and strengthening management, the energy-saving target of energy consumption and added value falling by 7% annually determined in the Eleventh Five-Year Plan and the Energy-saving Target Responsibility Letter signed with the municipal government has been exceeded for three consecutive years. It has made great contributions to energy conservation in Tianjin.
