Grupo Sarralle Will Install Complete Steel Mill for Siderùrgica Latino-Americana (Silat) in Brazil
06/30/2014 - Once in operation, the Greenfield project will allow for the production of 700,000 tpy of finished product (namely rebar, wire rod and mesh).
Sarralle Equipos Siderurgicos was selected to design, manufacture, supply and commission the equipment for the melt shop. Major components include a 100 ton AC Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) which is designed to be charged with either 100% scrap or, melt a charge containing up to 30% pig iron. A 100 (90+10%) MVA capacity transformer will supply the necessary electrical power to the EAF in conjunction with the Sarralle supplied chemical package which will allow for the production of an average of 27 heats per day. Mechanical components of the EAF include a full platform design with an EBT system and will also consist of the latest generation SARCON electrode regulation system.
Secondary metallurgy treatment will take place in a 100 ton Ladle Furnace (LF) consisting of a 24 MVA transformer to assure that ordered steel production will be of the highest quality.
A fully automated Ferroalloy System (MHS, or Material Handling System) will supply raw materials to both the Ladle Furnace, and, the Electric Arc Furnace through the 5th hole and during tapping while a modern and powerful Fume Exhaust System (FES) will provide the necessary filtering of the off gases generated during operations at the EAF, LF, MHS and at the CCM (Continuous Casting Machine) maintenance area. The FES will have a capacity of 1,600,000 m3/h and will be equipped with a Hot Quenching Tower to comply with the latest environmental requirements.
Following liquid steel treatment in the Ladle Furnace (LF), ladles will then be transferred to the 4(5)-strand Continuous Casting Machine designed with an 8 meter radius and capable of producing billets in the size range of 130 to 180 mm square. The casting machine will be equipped with the latest technological packages developed by Sarralle including quick change mold design, hydraulic oscillators and automatic torch cutting units.
Sarralle will supply the complete electrical and automation package including a state of the art Level 2 automation system.
The steel plant design will meet all requirements for efficiency, flexibility, safety and minimal maintenance time as well as both high reliability and productivity.
The start-up of the plant is scheduled for the first quarter of 2016.
