This report seeks to evidence the environmental situation caused by the consequences of steelmaking processes in Steel Plant, Albania, in order to show its improvement over the years until today. Improvement of environmental indicators consists in reducing environmental pollution from mass of dust in emitted gases during steelmaking; at reducing content of the gas components released into the atmosphere such as: COx, NOx, SOx, and generally the reduction of energy consumption. This is achieved due to the installation of several advanced techniques in the Plant of Metallurgical Combine, “KURUM International”, in Elbasan. The results presented in this report are divided in the form of data according to the environmental indicators measured in years, according to the lines and advanced techniques installed at the plant. Details of the environmental indicators/parameters are determined by means of known monitoring methods. The Report compares the environmental pollution from the steelmaking before and after the application of advanced techniques, which result in optimal quality parameters of emitted gases, referred to National and International Legislation Norms.
