The furnace can reheat special steel blooms in sections between 185 and 240 mm square. Its state-of-the-art technology will ensure low levels of fuel consumption, scale formation and decarburization also after the modification, helping Sidenor to consolidate its benchmark position in SBQ production.
SMS group’s range of supply for the upgrade will include new steel structures with a set of SMS ZeroFlame extra-low NO_X burners, which had already been included in stage 1 providing pollutant emissions of less than 100 mg/Nm³ at 1,250 °C, meeting the most stringent of European guidelines.
Since 1997, SMS group has installed 90 reheating furnaces for billets, blooms, slabs and pipes.
