FMF Base Module: No Electric Power Steelmaking with FMF
Steelmaking is highly influenced by the availability of raw materials and energy.Asian steelmaking,in particular,is facing a significant scrap shortage and high electric energy prices.In this scenario several steelmakers have found in the use of hot metal in their EAF a convenient alternative,which is increasingly gaining popularity.However,it is known that in the future scrap will gradually revert to be the primary raw material for steel mills,since scrap based steelmaking has a lower overall costs and environmental footprint.Therefore,Tenova has developed a new furnace concept,specifically targeted to steelmakers that currently use a significant amount of hot metal in their charge mix yet ready to move or return to scrap based steelmaking: the Flexible Modular Furnace(FMF).This solution is also suitable for those steelmakers that are looking for a transition from BOF to EAF based steelmaking and for those EAF steel shops that want to increase the hot metal percentage in their charge mix.In its simplest form,the so called “Base Module,the FMF can be configured for hot metal based steelmaking and,according to the characteristics of the charge,it can efficiently operate without electric power(similarly to a BOF); the electric power module(transformer,electrodes etc.)can be installed later on,as the most convenient charge mix changes,introducing larger amounts of scrap and DRI,according to the market.In its final configuration,the FMF can be transformed into a fully featured Consteel(R) EAF with continuous scrap feeding and pre-heating.
