Steel Mill Combustion and Thermal Systems

4–6 March 2025 • Embassy Suites Centennial Park • Atlanta, GA, USA

About the Program

The goal of this conference is to increase the efficiency of combustion and thermal systems by exposing attendees to concepts of good housekeeping fundamentals, optimizing efficiency through data-driven insights and multipath approaches to decarbonization. Attendees will receive exposure to the latest techniques for the upgrade and optimization of their systems to improve energy performance and reduce emissions. The workshop will highlight the role analytics has in transforming data to valued and actionable information to achieve tighter control of temperature zones, better adjusting of thermal systems, and increased process throughput and energy savings. The use of sensors and diagnostics, modeling and visualization tools, and advanced energy optimization techniques will be covered. The conference will also cover the concept of multiple paths to decarbonization through topics such as the use of low-carbon fuels and energy sources, use of electro technologies, and the application of innovative energy efficiency solutions.

Who Should Attend

This training seminar is designed for supervisors, engineers, and technicians who are directly involved in the operation, maintenance, design, or installation of combustion equipment in steel mills. Other attendees who would benefit from this seminar include utility personnel managing fuels utilization, environmental engineers managing air quality, and sustainability engineers responsible for increasing efficiencies and lowering emissions, and managers responsible for overall energy efficiency and optimization on-site.
