Company Information 
 
Graz - May 7, 2021. International technology Group ANDRITZ has received an order 
from Prosperity Tieh, Taiwan, to supply a new high-capacity pickling and 
galvanizing line for hot-rolled carbon steel strip. Start-up of the line is 
planned for mid-2023. 
 
The ANDRITZ scope of supplies and services includes the terminal equipment, a 
laser welder and a side trimmer at the inlet, a scale breaker, the pickling 
section, skin-pass mill #1, a direct-fired furnace (DFF) for heat-to-coat 
operation, the galvanizing section, skin-pass mill # 2 with tension leveler, the 
chemical coaters with drying section, and the electrical and automation 
equipment for the complete line. 
 
The delivery will include the following sustainable ANDRITZ solutions: 
 
* A new acid regeneration plant (ARP) to recycle the waste acid from the 
  pickling line - including the proven ANDRITZ ECOmode process which reduces CO2 
  emissions from the ARP by 25%. 
 
* A heat recovery system for the furnace that will use hot exhaust gases from 
  the furnace to heat the air needed for the drying process in the coating 
  section. 
 
* After heat recovery, the main off-gas streams from the DFF and ARP are 
  combined for exhaust gas treatment using a DeNOx system to minimize the NOx 
  levels in the exhaust gas. The dryer exhaust gas system in the post-treatment 
  section is equipped with VOC treatment (volatile organic compound emissions). 
 
 
With ANDRITZ's state-of-the-art, sustainable technologies, this line will 
produce hot-dip galvanized (GI) or ZM-coated /(zinc-aluminum-magnesium) flat 
steel. ANDRITZ will also provide consultancy on the production of ZM-coated 
material. 
 
This order confirms the long-lasting, good relationship between ANDRITZ and 
Prosperity Tieh. In 2004, ANDRITZ delivered and successfully commissioned a 
push-pickling line with ARP and in 2018, a 4-high cold-rolling mill to 
Prosperity Tieh. Additionally, ANDRITZ has performed various upgrades and 
modernizations on existing lines. 
 
Established in Taiwan in 1985, Prosperity Tieh Enterprise Co. Ltd (PTEC) evolved 
from a traditional stripping, shearing, pipe and washer pressing mill to a 
manufacturer of professional hot-dip galvanized and pre-painted steel.
