Abstract

DANIELI ENTERED THE CONVERTER BUSINESS IN 2011 WITH THE INCEPTION OF THE NEW, DEDICATED BUSINESS UNIT DANIELI LINZ. ACTIVITIES RAMPED UP RAPIDLY IN THIS HIGHLY DEMANDING AND CONSERVATIVE AREA OF STEELMAKING. CURRENTLY, FIVE BOF CONVERTER VESSELS SUPPLIED BY DANIELI LINZ ARE OPERATING WORLDWIDE WITH SIZES BETWEEN 80 T AND 350 T. ANOTHER 300 T CONVERTER IS CURRENTLY UNDER FABRICATION. SINCE JULY 2018 THE CONVERTER TECHNOLOGY HAS BEEN FULLY INTEGRATED INTO DANIELI CORUS. DANIELI CORUS IS ALREADY VERY SUCCESSFUL IN BLAST FURNACE IRON MAKING AS WELL AS NICHE MARKETS FOR OXYGEN STEELMAKING. DANIELI CORUS IS MARKET LEADER IN THE SUPPLY OF SUBLANCE SYSTEMS TOGETHER WITH ONE OF THE MOST ADVANCED LEVEL 2 SYSTEMS. WITH THIS NEW SET–UP OF INTEGRATING THE EXPERTS OF DANIELI LINZ INTO THE DANIELI CORUS GROUP A GREAT OPPORTUNITY HAS BEEN LAUNCHED FOR FURTHER DEVELOPING EQUIPMENT IN OXYGEN STEELMAKING. BUT ON TOP OF THAT, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT ENGINEERS OF AN EQUIPMENT SUPPLIER OF TWO DISCIPLINES (IRON MAKING AND STEELMAKING) ARE WORKING TOGETHER IN A SINGLE LOCATION. THIS OPENS COMPLETELY NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE JOINT DEVELOPMENT OF TOOLS AND SOFTWARE FOR OPTIMIZING BLAST FURNACE AND CONVERTER PROCESSES IN TERMS OF COST AND RESOURCE SAVINGS. IN THE AREA OF CONVERTER OFF–GAS CAPTURE, COOLING AND CLEANING, CURRENT DEVELOPMENT FOCUSES ON MAXIMIZING THE HOOD DESIGN’S COVERAGE AT MINIMUM MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENT. IN THE NEAR FUTURE THIS ITEM WILL BE COVERED IN MORE DETAIL. COMPLETED REDEVELOPMENT OF THE SCRUBBER AND MIST ELIMINATOR DESIGNS ARE DISCUSSED IN THIS ARTICLE.
