Objective

This project intends to demonstrate the technical, economical and environmental advantages and the reliability of the new technology for the electric arc furnace (CONTIARC) on an industrial scale installation. The CONTIARC technology is based on the following main characteristics: DC single electrode; continuous scrap charging; scrap preheating directly in furnace; permanent scrap preheating; electric arc shielded by scrap and furnace equipped with efficient sealing systems to minimise the amount of off-gases and emissions. The technical advantages expected as compared with the up-to- date conventional technologies are: higher productivity, lower energy, electrode and refractory consumption and lower environmental impact.
