Funded under

• Medium-term guidelines for the ECSC steel RTD programme of research and pilot/demonstration projects, 1996-2002

Objective

The aim of the project is to determine methods of increasing fossil energy input during scrap melting in EAF operations. This could reduce energy costs while providing more even smelting of the charge, thus reducing tap-to-tap times. Fundamental flow and pyrometric characteristics and physico-chemical properties of burner operation will be investigated in a 10 tonne smelting plant in order to evaluate differing charge conditions, fuel/oxygen mixtures and tuyere and burner geometries.
