SUMMARY:Integration of EAF production into BOF melt shop at Dillinger Hütte: A case study for production and logistics simulations
DESCRIPTION:Like many other steel producers in Europe and around the world, Stahl-Holding-Saar (SHS) has developed a master plan to significantly reduce CO2 emissions within the next decades.
For the production site in Dillingen, a transition to a DRI-EAF production route shows the most promising effects, which means turning away from the traditional BF-BOF production route.  
Within the melt shop, two potential locations for the EAFs were identified to undergo a detailed investigation and comparison. Since the two locations are at very different ends of the melt shop, the new transport routes and logistics of ladles will undergo a large change and be very different to the original routes and logistics. 
A 3D production and logistics simulation of the entire melt shop was developed to quantitatively compare these layout alternatives, to iteratively optimize these concepts, and to reduce logistical bottlenecks and deficiencies. 
The two final layout concepts have been compared and rated according to the terms of productivity and logistics. With the final simulation results, it was clear that one EAF position is logistically favorable, as it allows higher productivity and flexibility within the melt shop. 
Finally, the results of this study have been used to deliver quantitative answers to assist in a qualified decision-making process with the objective of de-risking and verifying the future production concept.
