Read MoreConsteel Electric Arc Furnace Process Consteel process is a patented process. It is an innovative energy conservation technology for scrap pre-heating in an electric arc furnace (EAF) developed by ‘Intersteel Technology Inc., Charlotte, North Carolina (since 1994 a part of Techint, Tenova S.p.A.). The first industrial application of the Consteel technology took place in 1989, …
Read MoreIndustrial Flow Measurements Technological processes in the industry require measurements of flows for the purpose of the control of the processes. Optimum performance of some equipment and operations need specific flow rates. Hence, the accurate measurement of flow rates is very important in industrial applications. Flow measurements consist of measuring the flow rate of solids, …
Read MoreCost Management and Organizational Performance Cost management lies at the heart of the organizational performance since the organization is considered to be performing if it has a healthy bottom line. Two things determine the bottom line namely (i) cost, and (ii) revenue. The organization moves from cost to performance or from failure to success, when …
Read MoreFoaming of Slag in Electric Arc Furnace Slag foaming has become an important and critical practice for the modern electric arc furnace (EAF) since a good foaming slag contributes considerable efficiency and other benefits to the process. The quality of the slag foaming is an important factor in the EAF steelmaking process since it ensures …
Read MoreIndustrial Pressure Measurement A major portion of all industrial measurement relates in some way or other to pressure in its several forms. For example, flow is often measured by determining the pressure which exists at two different points in a system. In a Bourdon system, pressure changes are used to produce the mechanical motion of …
