Objective
Objective of the project is the set-up of an innovative methodology to manage in an effective way the EAF charged with the variable materials mix guarantying the required steel quality, the cost to produce crude steel and the environmental constrains having in mind the volatility of scrap quality-price ratio and the pressures arising from CO2 trading legislation.
Thus the projects will address the issues of maximising the use of low quality scrap in the charge mix, will investigate the use of the scrap substitutes, like Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) and Hot Briquette Iron (HBI), as alternative to high quality scrap and will optimize the energy input required to melt down the charged materials. The development of new operation procedures and control tools will be supported by especially designed laboratory, pilot and industrial tests.
