FF Steel: A Role Model in Air Quality Control
In the world of making steel, where big machines often mean big pollution, FF Steel stands out as a champion for the environment. We're all about doing things differently, finding smart ways to make steel while keeping our planet clean and healthy.
Redefining Clean Air Standards
FF Steel is proud to be the most environmentally friendly steel industry in Pakistan, with the best Air Quality Index (AQI) of any steel mill in the region. This is due in part to the company's state-of-the-art Doghouse Air Pollution Control (APC) system, which features two 600HP motors at 980RPM and 600 Needleless Polyester bag filters on reverse air. This system is highly effective at removing pollutants from the air, resulting in significantly better AQI (Air Quality Index) than other steel mills in the country.
FF Steel's AQI is significantly better than the AQI of the most polluted city of Pakistan i.e., Lahore. As of November 14, 2023, the AQI in FF Steel is 228 whereas the AQI in Lahore is 444 (source: Daily “Nation” 14th November 2023). FF Steel is committed to reducing its environmental impact and setting a role model for other steel industries in Pakistan. The company's APC system is a significant investment in clean air, and it is helping to improve the air quality for the people of Pakistan. By adopting similar systems, other steel industries can also help to improve air quality and protect human health.
Pioneering Towards Zero Carbon Footprint
Beyond mere compliance, FF Steel is actively engaged in a transformative journey towards achieving a zero-carbon footprint in Pakistan. FF Steel Peshawar Plant is the first Plant that drives energy through Warsak Dam, and on the failure of power supply from Warsak, there is also an alternate line from Tarbela Dam. The energy source is entirely Hydel and sets up a zero-carbon footprint in manufacturing steel rebars. FF Steel has implemented innovative ideas to contribute to the environment by revamping the machinery used to conduct the processes. Two 6.5 Mega Watts (MW) furnaces are present at FF Steel’s Peshawar Plant and use hydro energy to run the furnaces which are free from carbon.
Conclusion
FF Steel is not just about making steel; it’s about making a change. That’s why we are committed to being a responsible corporate citizen and to play a leading role in Pakistan's transition to a green economy. We believe that it is important for all businesses to take steps to protect the environment and to ensure a sustainable future for generations to come.
