Design of Outotec Refining Facilities for a Steel Tap Furnace
Outotec is a leading technology company with an extensive portfolio of process and metallurgical solutions for the production of steel and refined metals. Outotecs solutions include Outotec Refining Facilities, which provide complete solutions for the recovery, re-refining, and further processing of various metals, including steel.
The Outotec Refining Facilities can be used to process all types of steel, including high-carbon and low-carbon, stainless, and alloys. They are suited for all stages of the steelmaking process and can be used for steel tap furnaces, boilers, and converter, as well as for all Oxygen-fueled and other furnaces.
Outotec Refining Facilities provide a complete solution for steel refining and processor enable operators to maximize the recovery of metal from their steel tap furnaces. By utilizing Outotecs solutions, operators production of steel will be more efficient and environmentally friendly than ever before.
Outotec Refining Facilities consists of an Outotec Advanced Melter System, Outotec Furnace Control Technology, and a Pre-treatment Plant. The Advanced Melter System provides melters to process and recover metal from steel tap furnaces, while the Furnace Control Technology allows for optimal application of all the systems to optimize the recovery and reuse of metal. The Pre-treatment Plant is designed to treat contaminated steel tap furnaceinputs and meets all environmental requirements.
The Outotec Advanced Melter System (AMS) converts scrap steel into a high-quality liquid steel, recovering up to 95% of the metal contained in the scrap steel. The AMS has several key benefits including: improved furnace environment control, increased furnace productivity, lower energy consumption, and improved metals recovery and sustainability.
Outotec Furnace Control Technology (FCT) provides precise control and temperature monitoring of the steel tap furnaces in the refining process. This provides centralized and automated control of the steel smelting process. The FCT allows operators to achieve greater efficiency and accuracy in their steel refining and processing, resulting in improved productivity and cost savings.
The Outotec Pre-treatment Plant improves the quality and removes impurities from the feedstock for the steel tap furnace. The plant utilizes a series of treatments, such as mechanical and chemical cleaning, to separate the impurities from the feedstock. The process also removes unwanted materials, reducing them to innocuous by-products, allowing the steel processing to run at higher productivity and efficiency levels.
The Outotec Refining Facilities consist of an Advanced Melter System, Furnace Control Technology, and a Pre-treatment Plant, providing a complete solution to the recovery, re-refining and further processing of steel tap furnaces. With these systems, operators are able to maximize their production and improve steel processing operations in terms of efficiency and environmental friendliness.
