Upgraded EAF started up at EZDK-Ezz Dikheila, Egypt

Dec 15, 2008
The existing 160-t EAF, revamped and upgraded by Danieli Centro Met with installation of the latest FastArc injection technology to improve the operational reliability and to increase its output to about 1.2 Mt/a, was started up successfully in August 2008.
 
Modification of the No. 1 EAF (located in the Alexandria meltshop, HR Flat Steel division), included the installation of new multi-point oxygen and carbon injectors, new shell with water-cooled panels and EBT design, and new Level 1 and 2 automation systems with dedicated PLC and HMI for automatic EAF process setting and control, and to interface with the existing ladle furnace and conticaster. The project also included the upgrading of the fume-treatment plant water-cooled duct.
