SUMMARY:Optimizing EAF operations by an App - the Heat Cloning App
DESCRIPTION:Electric Arc Furnaces have always been the core plant and core process of Minimills, all over the world, because an EAF is THE scrap-based process of steelmaking. And it has always been a rather cheap production step as being based on electricity and not too complex, since the base material is already steel. The challenge however is to optimize the melting process, irrespective of the input material mix - and this is the biggest pain for most steel producers - for any type of target steel grade, as well as irrespective of the shift team, of the furnace lining, of environmental prescriptions and so on. Primetals Technologies has developed the Heat Cloning App, a preferred cloud based digital system to assure such operational optimization, using the real Level2 and Level 1 data of the EAF, hence using the real historical data of an EAF plant. Optimization objectives are stable tap-to-tap times, charge temperatures adapted to the needed overheating for the ladle furnace or the VOD and for the casting operations, and last not least the minimum operating cost. More than ever minimizing electrical energy per ton of liquid steel and minimizing the total amount of required specific energy are typical optimization objectives as well. Real data are showing that 5 - 10% better operations, reduced cost, higher margins are achievable by using Primetals' Heat Cloning App.
