The iEAF, which will be installed on the existing EAF at the NLMK plant, is an advanced modular technology for dynamic optimisation of the melting process based on real time data, advanced process models and algorithms. This technology enhances EAF melting efficiency, reduces consumption and operative costs as well as carbon footprint.
“Our discussion with NLMK was focused on offering economic and technological advantages and Tenova’s iEAF was recognised as the best solution to reduce production cost and to enhance the performance of the existing EAF”, stated Davide Masoero, Area Manager Europe – Melt Shops.
In addition, Tenova iEAF technology has been successfully installed at 24 plant locations across seven countries, spanning over four continents. This contract represents a new milestone, opening up new market scenarios for this Industry 4.0 technology in Russia, signifying once again the reliability of Tenova’s technologies and its commitment to bring value added solutions to the Russian steel market.
