Abstract

A new concept for intensive oxygen use in UHP electric arc furnaces has been developed at the Kehl Works by Badische Stahlwerke and L'Air Liquide.

With burners and lances adapted to operating conditions, the electric energy savings is 60 kWh/metric ton and tap to tap times are under one hour.
