Exploring the steel production industry and the use of heat exchangers
Alumina production
Digesting and heating liquor requires robust exchangers to manage extreme energy demand. Tranter helps reduce downtime, improve throughput, and increase profitability in alumina plants.
Green steel
In direct reduced iron (DRI) processes, Tranter exchangers enable post-combustion carbon capture and waste heat recovery, helping mills cut CO₂ emissions and align with low-carbon production targets.
Stainless steel
Electric arc and basic oxygen furnaces depend on stable cooling. Our exchangers handle the heat load reliably in EAF and BOF operations, ensuring safe, efficient smelting.
Steel production
From ironmaking to alloying with chromium, nickel, and vanadium, Tranter exchangers manage heating and cooling duties that keep production stable.
Stove regenerators
Blast furnace stoves recover heat from hot off-gases to preheat incoming air. Tranter exchangers improve energy efficiency and reduce fuel consumption in these critical systems.
Carbon capture and green hydrogen
Carbon capture is becoming central to steel’s decarbonization roadmap. Large volumes of flue gas must be cooled and treated, with solvents regenerated continuously. Tranter exchangers deliver the thermal efficiency and durability needed for safe, stable carbon capture operations.
- Maximize energy recovery while reducing operating costs.
- Handle aggressive solvents with alloys proven for long life.
- Integrate seamlessly into new or retrofit plants.
Innovation with your future in mind
Steelmakers are under growing pressure to cut costs and emissions. Tranter’s R&D develops anti-fouling plate geometries, corrosion-resistant materials, and compact layouts that recover even more waste heat.
The goals of these innovations are to help you extend uptime, reduce lifecycle costs, and move toward greener production without compromising reliability.
