#130 - Tenova Goodfellow launches breakthrough Water Detection Technology for the EAF

Mississauga, CanadaFebruary 11, 2013

Tenova Goodfellow Inc. has developed breakthrough water detection technology that combines continuous and reliable EAF off-gas analysis for both H20 vapor and H2 together with proprietary software that provides EAF operators with three distinct real-time alerts indicating the likelihood of a water leak.

EFSOP® Water Detection Technology™ is the only commercially available extractive or in-situ system that is capable of continuously analyzing EAF off-gas for both H2 and H20 vapor. When liquid water enters the EAF, a portion will remain as H20 vapor and a portion will be reduced to H2. Since the relative proportions cannot be predicted in advance, effective water leak detection requires analysis of both H20 vapor and H2.




EFSOP Water Detection Technology interprets the H2 and H20 vapor off-gas analysis with proprietary software that is capable of differentiating between normal operations and situations when there are abnormally high water levels in the EAF. The software is self-training and dynamically adjusts for changing scrap conditions (wet/dry/oily) to minimize the number of false alarms according to the steel plant’s required set points. The System provides EAF operators with three alert levels; Green for normal, Amber for caution, Red for immediate action.

EFSOP Water Detection Technology represents a true industry breakthrough providing the most comprehensive, reliable and real-time water detection system possible for EAF steelmaking. EFSOP Water Detection Technology is available as a module that can be integrated into an existing EFSOP analyzer or as a standalone water detection system which can be upgraded in future to a full EFSOP Holistic Optimization System® for process control and optimization.
