U. S. Steel Starts Chemical Energy Package on EAF
01/19/2021 - Electric arc furnace accessories maker MORE srl said the chemical energy system on United States Steel Corporation’s new electric arc furnace has been started up.
In a statement, MORE said the system, its 40th chemical energy package operating in the United States, includes its M-ONE injectors, machined copper bulged blocks and oxygen/natural gas valve stands.
“Dedicated dispersers have been supplied for the pneumatic injection of carbon and lime. This ranges from the external storage silos to the electric arc furnace sidewall injectors. All of the equipment is controlled by a dedicated automation system, making it a fully automated control,” the company said.
The first arc on the Fairfield, Ala., furnace was struck in October.
