Control and optimisation of scrap charging strategies and melting operations to increase steel recycling ratio

Objective

The general aim of the project is to allow the best and most economic use of scrap in steel making operations.

At the EAF, systems for the on-line monitoring of the scrap charge and for the optimisation of its melting conditions will be developed and implemented in industrial plants. Both aspects are indeed highly significant with regard to furnace efficiency, iron recovery and energy use.

Another main axis of work will be to increase the use of lower scrap qualities (including "problem" scrap such as more contaminated scrap qualities with plastics, rubber and other materials), both for the EAF and BOF in order to comply with future legislation regarding steel recycling ratios, such as the "end of life vehicle" directive Directive' as well as existing directives on packaging and coated scrap.
