#61 - Biggest Steel Melting Unit in China

TENOVA SUPPLIES MCC BERIS JIANGSU HEAVY INDUSTRY CORPORATION WITH THE BIGGEST MELTING UNIT EVER BUILT IN CHINA

Milan, April 26th 2012 – Tenova achieved the first heat of the biggest Melting Unit ever built in China for MCC Beris Jiangsu Heavy Industry Corporation - Feida Group: a highly innovative Medium and Heavy Plate Casting-rolling Production Line.

The benefits offered by the technology provided, which combines Tenova Electric Arc Furnace and Consteel® with other forefront technologies in China from Beris permitted unprecedented flexibility in operations and production capacity together with emission reduction.

The plant is located in Jiangsu province, an industrial area near Shanghai which is home to China’s most advanced production facilities. It is equipped with a Consteel® system and a 250 t/h EAF feeding a continuous casting unit for slab production. With a nominal tapping capacity of 220t and maximum liquid steel capacity of 360t, this project is the No. 1 in China. It is also equipped with the biggest electric arc furnace transformer manufactured in China, rated 140 MVA.

The production capacity is 1.8 Mt with the capability of producing the thickest slab ever made in China achieving a big rolling reduction immediately after the casting.

Started from 1997 Tenova has installed 11 Consteel® systems in China, out of 40 installations in the world, a tangible proof of the great operational flexibility, versatility and decrease of environmental impact of the technology that is well appreciated in the Country.

Example of CONSTEEL installation.

The Consteel system reduces workplace noise and dust and eliminates bucket charge operations. The absence of charge buckets minimizes dust formation in the canopy hood, while the pre-heating section of the conveyor acts like a deposit chamber, allowing dust to settle on the scrap for recycling inside the furnace. Overall dust emissions are 5 - 9 kg/tls lower than those of a conventional top-charged EAF. The reduction of total energy required for melting has a tremendous impact on the reduction of GHG (Greenhouse Gases) emissions. Consteel provides the most environmentally friendly technology available on the market, with the ability to meet strict government regulations.

Consteel is the choice of steelmakers worldwide. If you are a steel maker interested in higher productivity and lower costs, contact Tenova Goodfellow for more information about the award-winning CONSTEEL® system.
