6 Boundaries and scope of energy consumption statistics
6.1 Process boundary division
A complete sintering process from the iron containing raw materials entering the batching room, fuel and flux entering the buffer, to the finished sinter being transported to the transfer station in front of the blast furnace chute. The process mainly includes the following links: fuel and flux crushing, batching, first mixing, second mixing, steam preheating, hearth layer laying, material distribution, ignition, sintering, hot crushing, cooling, granulation and screening, sampling, inspection, and testing of finished product, product output, environmental dust removal, flue gas purification, and waste heat recovery.
