Tenova delivers enhanced furnace

New line for steel authority of India

TENOVA Strip Processing has recently received an order from SAIL (Steel Authority of India) for a Tension Leveling and Inspection Line for the Bokaro steel plant, in the Indian state of Jharkhand. The project will be executed on a turnkey basis in consortium with Mumbai’s Multiform, now part of Tenova

Group, and Kolkata’s Sunag Engineering, in charge of local supplies and services. Tenova – Italy Fax: +39 02 4693026 Email: tenova@tenovagroup.com Website: www.tenovagroup.com

safety module TENOVA Goodfellow has successfully closed another EFSOP ® project, at Evraz Claymont Steel, Delaware, USA, with the commissioning of the EFSOP Holistic Optimization ® technology on the existing 160 ton electric arc furnace (EAF). The application of the EFSOP technology provided automation of the fourth-hole damper and burn injector profile. Final acceptance for project closure included sign-off on the new Enhanced Furnace Safety Module that was implemented in late 2009. The EFSOP Enhanced Furnace Safety Module proved the ability to detect abnormal water. Examples are snow in the charge bucket and a water panel leak. The plant has defined and implemented appropriate levels of operator response to their process operation in order to improve the safe operation of the electric arc furnace. Evraz Claymont Steel is a carbon plate mini-mill specialising in the manufacture and sale of custom-order discrete steel plate in the United States and Canada. With an annual capacity of over 500,000 tons, Claymont Steel’s facilities are specifically configured to provide low-cost steel plate in small order sizes and non- standard dimensions. TenovaGoodfellow’sEFSOPtechnology is an off-gas-based process control system for EAFs. It measures and analyses EAF off-gases (CO, CO 2 , H 2 , O 2 ) continuously at the fourth-hole for real-time closed- loop process control of EAF steelmaking, resulting in improved operations, energy savings, lower conversion costs and safety benefits.
