EUROPEAN STEEL TECHNOLOGY AND APPLICATION DAYS 2017 - ESTAD 2017

Modern EAFs require enhanced Safety and improved, consistent Performances; these features should be linked together, if possible. Both modern well-designed furnaces and more dated ones can benefit from the latest technology and equipment for removing operators from hazardous places, thus leaving dangerous activities to automated systems, while other technologies can read actual performances for the continuous optimization of the melting and refining phases in real time, together with precise process prediction. Off-gas analysis based on an extractive double probe on the 4th hole is the cornerstone of this pack of solutions which SMS calls “Synergy” offered as modular packages with a proven reduction in OPEX.
