Tenova – a company of the Techint Group leader in innovative solutions for the metals and mining industries – will be at METEC 2019, the international trade fair for metallurgy and steel production, held in Düsseldorf (June 25-29), with a 300 m2 booth (A21, Hall 4) dedicated to its most innovative and sustainable technologies.
Among the different solutions presented at the fair, visitors and guests will find two groundbreaking pieces of equipment on display: the Pomini Digital Texturing (PDT) – a unique texturing machine that can be discovered through augmented reality – and the Self Regenerative Burner (TRGS) – a smart burner able to optimize the combustion process through the application of digital technology.
A portion of the booth will be dedicated to the “Tenova Arena”, where experts will present Tenova core technologies and cutting-edge solutions – including predictive maintenance, remote assistance and artificial intelligence – during the whole duration of the exhibition.
Tenova booth will also be a point of interest of ecoMetalsTrails, an initiative launched by Messe Düsseldorf with the aim to promote sustainability and support exhibiting companies that make a contribution to the environment and present their long-term commitment at the fair. Tenova decided to lay the focus on two technologies that represent a real progress in the development of sustainable steelmaking.
The first one consists in a technology aimed at replacing carbon partially or totally with hydrogen as reducing agent of the Direct Reduction (DR) process. This is already applied to two key projects: Salcos (SAlzgitter Low CO₂ Steelmaking), a concept for a significantly CO₂-reduced steel production, created with Salzgitter AG; and Hybrit, an initiative for fossil-free steelmaking that was established in 2016 by Hybrit Development AB, a Swedish joint venture between SSAB, LKAB and Vattenfall.
In addition, by the process in the latest generation of the Twin-Chamber Melting Furnace, TCF Tenova LOI Thermprocess offers process technology for efficient use of the energy content of the pyrolysis gas, which results from the contaminants adhering to the scrap. New processes and control algorithms assure resource conservation by offering a further reduction of the metal oxidation, i.e. metal loss, and an improvement regarding metal yield. The fully automatic operation guarantees the constantly good result for production and reduction of emissions.
Tenova will also take part with several papers in the accompanying conference European Steel Technology and Application Days (ESTAD), held at the Congress Centrum Düsseldorf (CCD), and in Thermoprocess Symposium (Hall 9 / Booth D74).
