Decarbonization<\/strong>: 4,120 tonnes of CO2 saved, based on an emission rate of 0.241 kgCO2\/kWh consumed and 0.0339 kgCO2\/kWhe produced.<\/p>\n

Energy savings<\/strong>: 41,300 MWh per year<\/p>\n

Productivity gain<\/strong> : Study on the use of arc furnaces simultaneously, impossible as it is, for a 50% increase in production.<\/p>\n

Location<\/strong> : Pas-de-Calais (62) – Hauts de France – France<\/p>\n

Sector<\/strong> : Metallurgy<\/p>\n

Needs – customer requests<\/strong> :<\/p>\n

The customer wanted to find a way to optimize the waste heat output from electric arc furnaces. By modifying the cooling train of these ovens and extracting more calories, the customer can comply with the regulations on atmospheric emissions by using the two ovens simultaneously. Through this, the client wishes to increase its production by 50%.<\/p>\n

The objective of this study was also to reduce the consumption of their electric arc furnaces by drying their products before charging. The excess energy available would then supply a need external to the site on the same industrial platform.<\/p>\n
