Ecoplants Technologies: Revolutionary Continuous S/EAF-Process and Innovative Energy Recovery Solutions
Metallurgical processes generate either hot and / or combustible exhaust gases which can be used for Energy Recovery. Along the process chain from steelmaking plants to processing lines we can find several process steps where heat is required and waste heat as well as combustible gases are also generated. Therefore SMS Siemag developed several technical solu-tions to recover the energy from hot off-gas (BOF, EAF, SAF) by evaporation cooled ducts or tailored waste heat boiler solutions hot slabs by innovative heat exchangers combustible exhaust gases by industrial power plant technologies The revolutionary ARCCESS? steady EAF (S/EAF?) is the combination of best practice EAF and SAF technologies and enables the continuous (!) operation of the electric arc furnace. This leads to a 30% higher productivity with lower energy con-sumption. By continuous charging virgin DRI (hot or cold) or pig iron high quality steel grades can be produced. In addition we offer a holistic Energy Management System supporting plant man-agers to detect current potentials and maintain them in long term. 2012 SEAISI Seminar
