Abstract: The present invention concerns a granulation installation (10) for granulating molten material produced in a metallurgical plant. The installation comprises a water injection device (20), for injecting granulation water into a flow of molten material (14) to granulate the molten material, a granulation tank (18) for collecting the granulation water and the granulated material. The installation further comprises a steam collecting hood that includes an evacuation device for evacuating steam from said hood, condensing said steam and evacuating said condensed steam to the atmosphere.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a granulation installation (10) for granulating molten material produced in a metallurgical plant. The installation comprises a.o. a steam condensation tower (30) with a steam condensing system and an evacuation device (60) for selectively evacuating gas and steam from said tower, condensing excessive steam and evacuating gas to the atmosphere, said evacuation device (60) having an inlet (62) arranged to communicate with said upper zone (44) of said condensation tower (30) above the water-spraying device (40) and an outlet arranged to evacuate and condensate steam and evacuate gas from said condensation tower (30).
