CHEMICAL ENERGY
PACKAGE
Fast metallic charge melting requires appropriate capability to manage the chemical energy
in the most efficient way, according to the rapidly changing conditions within the furnace
environment. The melting power and the metallurgicalprocesses can be managed only by
specialized equipment and careful process control to attain high productivity performances
at minimum energy consumption.
Sinergy between electrical arc power schedule and correct chemical action can lead to
consistent savings in consumptions and time.

Melting material in an Electric Arc Furnace requires a number of process functions


to be fulfilled:
• Heat and melt down the metallic charge.
• Oxidize silicon, phosphorus, chromium and carbon.
• Correct the slag chemistry and control the iron oxide production.
• Foam the slag.
• Limit the carbon monoxide output and control the combustion within the furnace.
• Protect the refractory lining from corrosive wearing.

Steelmakers can profit from the appropriate management of all these actions only if their
furnace is equipped with an efficient and reliable chemical package. The most important
figures required to such equipment are:
• Specialized mechanical design completed by a dedicated assembly on the furnace layout.
• Fast and precise regulation according to the melting program and the process control.
• Flexibility, reliability and consistency.
• Equipment stiffness and maintanability.

(TDLAS) to obtain exact data of various gas species in the EAF off-gas system in real time.
The LINDARC™ is used to further optimize the EAF melting process, controlling
fuel and oxygen post combustion by Q-MELT.

A specific research project has been performed to improve combustion and heat transfer
efficiency to the scrap surface. The particular burner tip design dramatically improves the
mixing of reactants and prevents the generation of a cold flame.

FLASH STOP
BACKFIRE PREVENTING SYSTEM
FOR SIDE WALL BURNERS AND INJECTORS
The FLASH STOP system has been developed to prevent accidental damages due to oxygen
and fuel backfiring in the copper front face, injector tip and water cooled panels caused by
the presence of a thick piece of heavy scrap in front of the injector tip.
The system is made up of temperature sensors continuously detect the variance of the
copper temperature. In case of backfiring, the temperature on the front panel will rapidly
increase over the alarm threshold. Then, the automation system will automatically reduce
the burner power or switch-off the injector. As soon as the temperature returns to its
normal value, the system will turn on the injector again.

MOLI
PNEUMATIC LIME/DOLOLIME
INJECTION SYSTEM
The MOLI pneumatic injection system has been conceived to satisfy the flux metallurgical

Lime injection is a valid well-proven improvement compared to lime charged through
the roof or into the scrap bucket. Additionally, injection of powdered reactants generates
a much cleaner shop environment. Therefore, dusty and maintenance demanding belt
conveyor systems can be abandoned.
Thanks to the Q-MELT automation, the dynamic regulation of the correct feeding rate of
lime and dololime enables a complete control of slag conditions throughout the process.
