Environmental regulations recently introduced in China aimed to reduce pollution and CO₂ emissions have motivated Chinese steelmakers to use a different manufacturing approach, with some converting their steel shops plants to EAF technology, increasing the share of electrical steelmaking in comparison to Blast Furnace (BF) or Basic Oxygen Furnace (BOF).
Tenova’s EAF Consteel Evolution fulfills this need thanks to its operational reliability as well as advantages such as savings in electrical consumption, improved productivity, high-quality steel, and greater environmental protection and workplace safety.
In addition to Consteel, the project for Shandong Laigang Yongfeng introduces the new Consteerrer technology. This solution was developed by Tenova and ABB – a pioneering technology leader that works closely with utilities, industry, transportation and infrastructure customers to write the future of industrial digitalization and realize value.
Thanks to Consteerrer technology, the production process is characterized by lower operating costs, more reliable and safer operations, higher steel quality and more precise logistics.
Consteerrer enhances the Consteel Evolution process with ABB’s ArcSave non-contact electromagnetic stirring of the furnace’s liquid bath, and can be customized to match the needs of different EAF process steps.
