Objective It is intended to develop on demo-pilot scale (25 t/h), a new technology of Electric Arc Furnace (CONTIARC) based on the following main characteristics: - D.C. single electrode;- continuous annular scrap charging;- scrap preheating directly in the furnace;- electrical arc shielded by scrap;- sealed vessel.Technical advantages expected as compared with the current conventional technologies are:- higher productivity;- lower energy consumption;- lower electrode and refractory consumption;- lower environmental impact.
