Application of technology to improve safety at the EAF, by eliminating human operation
The steel melting process in an electric arc furnace (EAF) is a complex set of tasks, coping with highly dangerous hazards as fire, explosions, uncontrolled reactions, hot metal projections, and gas or dust emissions.
Mechanical vacuum pump solutions for VD and VOD
Mechanical vacuum pump systems are state-of-the-art technology for new refining stations, having well known advantages over steam ejectors. Diverse design requirements mean that there are various options in mechanical pump size, model and systems concept
Energy efficient pumping stations for steel degassing
Hardly any material has influenced world economic development to such an extent as steel. It not only plays an important role in industry but also in our everyday life
Ultrasonic technology for real time and contactless automation of the continuous casting mould
Ergolines has developed a new system (UT-MAP) based on contactless ultrasonic technology for real time temperature detection in curved and flat copper moulds. This enables key information on initial solidification to be obtained.
Green steel galvanizing
In the future, there will be a growing demand for green steel produced using renewable energy. This demand will impact both crude steel production and downstream processes, such as heat treatment.
