Siemens develops new electric arc furnace for direct reduced iron melting - Simetal EAF FAST DRI boosts productivity of electric steel production by up to 15 percent
Siemens VAI Metals Technologies offers steelworks operators an electric arc furnace that has been specially developed for the use of DRI (direct reduced iron). The Simetal EAF FAST DRI is designed for a continuous melting process as electrical energy input and DRI are supplied during tapping. This shortens tap-to-tap times and reduces specific energy consumption. An overall productivity increase of around 15 percent can be achieved with a 150-ton furnace. The arc furnace has a modular structure, which also makes it possible to retrofit existing, conventional furnaces. With this new furnace concept Siemens underlines its technological leadership in electric steelmaking.
