Objective
Dioxins and furans can be formed in melting processes of ferrous foundries. BAT document recently edited by EIPPCB (Seville) focused the problem in cupolas, rotary furnaces and electric arc furnaces. There is a need for a better understanding of dioxins formation, and also there is a need to adapt existing measures created for other processes. Reduction in dioxins emissions of melting furnaces will be achieved in two steps: first optimizing process parameters (in cupolas, rotary furnaces and electric arc furnaces) and second using adapted end-of-pipe techniques (sorbent injection and ceramic filtration). A good practice book will be edited with the necessary guidelines for the foundries.
A high numbers of foundries in Europe are SMEs (approximately 80%) and the total number of furnaces affected could be from 600 to 800 units.The consortium has developed a resource planning for IAGs, SMEs core group and RTD performers, according to R&D, training and dissemination, and management activities. Participants belongs to five countries, and an EU IAG (CAEF) having as members 20 associations of different European countries will cooperate too. Multidisciplinary of partners is guaranteed in the consortium with:-Iron and steel foundries SMEs with different melting furnaces.-Foundry and environmental equipment manufacturers.-Foundry and equipment suppliers IAGs.-RTD experts in foundry and environmental techniques.In total DIOFUR applies for an overall 2.859.661 ??? and the duration estimated is 30 months.

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
