MORE announced the successful installation and commissioning of module technology at Deacero’s 150 ton AC EAF at its mill in Ramos Arizpe, Coahuila, Mexico.
Deacero is a privately owned Mexican company that has achieved its growth by establishing a highly competitive position satisfying the demands of the national and international markets. This aggressive posture has helped them to become a major player not only in Mexico, but in over 20 countries around the world. The new meltshop operates with an AC full platform EBT electric arc furnace (EAF) and ladle furnace (LF).
The module tchnology chemical package included the installation of three M-ONE combined burner/oxygen/carbon injectors and one Oxygenjet supersonic oxygen injector.
The scope of supply included also: a Palmur wall operated oxygen and carbon water cooled lance manipulator, oxygen and natural gas valve stands, 4 MOCA dispensers for the pneumatic carbon injection, 4 MOCA dispenser for carbon handling between main silos to intern day bins silos.
MORE injectors have been studied to enhance solids propulsion with oxygen and/or shroud-flame. This special feature ensures a higher recovery rate of all injected solid particles during the melting/refining process, preventing the tips from clogging and increasing the injection efficiency even in the presence of stiffer chromium slag during chromium steel grades production.
The module technology installation at Deacero, together with the quick operators learning curve and the fine-tuning of EAF operations, has generated overall process improvements.
Deacero’s Ramos project reinforces MORE’s leadership to serve the electric arc steel making industry with innovative and reliable chemical energy melting technology. At present MORE has equipped more than 126 EAFs worldwide with its fixed injection technology.
MORE, based in Gemona del Friuli, Italy, designs, manufactures and supplies high quality products for the steelmaking industry focusing on technologies needed for electric arc furnaces.
