Techint Goodfellow Technologies Inc., Mississauga, Ont., recently completed the installation and commissioning of a state-of-the-art Goodfellow EFSOP^™ (Expert Furnace System Optimization Process) system at Topy Industries Limited’s Toyohashi Works in Japan.

The newly installed Goodfellow EFSOP system will measure and analyze EAF off-gases (CO, CO2, H2 and O2) continuously at the fourth hole for real-time closed-loop process control of EAF steelmaking. It is a clean technology which provides a measurable environmental and economic benefit to steel production. Techint Goodfellow says the technology will also result in improved operations, energy savings, lower conversion costs and safety benefits.
