Four glass industry facilities to start full-scale hydrogen trials Four glass manufacturing facilities will begin full-scale hydrogen trials shortly.

The first will be Slovenia’s Steklarna Hrastnik followed by Owens Corning in France, then Zignago Vetro and Vetrobalsamo, both based in Italy.

The trials are part of the H2GLASS project which will will begin full-scale hydrogen trials at five plants from 2025.

The collaborative project, which brings together glass manufacturers with industrial and research institutions, aims to decarbonise glass manufacturing.

The endeavour is part of the Horizon Europe programme, which started in January 2023.

The project will see the transition from natural gas to green hydrogen combustion in production facilities, potentially achieving an 80% reduction in CO2 emissions.

However, this transformation comes with various challenges, including securing a reliable hydrogen supply for the H2GLASS on-site demonstrations, mitigating NOx emissions, and managing high flame propagation speed all while maintaining product quality and ensuring safety.

At the core of this effort lies the implementation of Digital Twin techniques to improve the efficiency and reliability of the glass manufacturing process.

The project has made considerable progress by identifying technical requirements and developing test plans for the industrial demonstrators, supported by a robust safety

plan to ensure safe testing.

However, the most important milestone achieved is the successful procurement of the electrolyser for the full-scale trials from a reliable European supplier.

This achievement is of utmost importance as the integration of hydrogen as a substitute for primary fuel is a major challenge in today’s market due to its limited availability.

This means the project can proceed with the permitting process and the design and procurement of equipment for the full-scale trials at the five plants scheduled to start in 2025.

The remaining plant will be an aluminium smelting facility in Norway run by Hydro.

‘Hydra’ project drives 100% hydrogen fuelled steel production

2

Italian consultancy firm RINA has announced the launching of a six-year research project, called Hydra, to build a 100% hydrogen-fuelled steel production pilot plant.

The €88 million project is being backed by the European Commission as an IPCEI (Important Projects of Common European Interest) project.

The goal of the project consists of the design and construction of a pilot plant that will use hydrogen in every stage of the steel production cycle and is expected to make up to seven tonnes of different grades of steel per hour.

Currently aimed for completion by 2025, the facility will include a 30-metre high direct iron ore reduction (DRI) tower using hydrogen as a reducing agent, an electric furnace (EAF) and a reheating furnace.

Furnaces International December 2023

According to RINA chairman and chief executive Ugo Salerno, “[Hydra] is not intended or designed to provide a commercial advantage to any one steel producer but rather move the industry and the world forward in the use of 100% hydrogen production with near-zero emissions.”

Salerno added: “Beyond the technological advancements, the truly unique nature of this project is its position as an open research fa-

cility. It is not intended or designed to provide commercial advantage to any one steel producer, rather move the industry, and the world, forward in the use of 100% hydrogen production with near zero emissions. This is why the Hydra project has been supported, since its inception, by leading European steel producers, plant suppliers, utilities, and major stakeholders in the sector.”

Japanese glass manufacturer AGC has succeeded in a demonstration test of glass production using hydrogen as fuel.

This is the first time the AGC Group has conducted tests using hydrogen in a production furnace.

The test was conducted at the electronics float glass manufacturing facility of the Kansai Plant, Takasago Factory (Takasago City, Hyogo Prefecture).

This test was conducted with the support of Air Liquide Japan, by implementing its hydrogen combustion burner to an existing conventional combustion process with oxygen using natural gas as fuel.

In this test, AGC verified the technological issues for utilising hydro-

gen-fuelled oxygen combustion technology in glass production, including glass quality, effects on furnace materials, flame temperature, furnace temperature, and nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions control.

The NOx concentration in the emitted gas from this test was maintained at the same level as in 100% natural gas, while maintaining the required temperature of the glass melting furnace.

Aiming for full-scale deployment, AGC will conduct scaled-up tests of the combustion capacity of the hydrogen combustion burner, and consider demonstration tests at the AGC Group’s global sites to determine the scope of application of hydrogen combustion technology.

This test follows the demonstration test using ammonia as fuel conducted in June 2023.

The AGC Group will continue to promote sustainability management under its medium-term management plan AGC plus2023, aiming to achieve its target of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.

The steel industry is highly competitive and requires constant innovation to remain at the forefront of the market. For reheating furnaces specifically, most steelmakers struggle to produce at maximum performance with manual control because they are affected by inaccurate heating efficiency and unexpected delay management. This makes it challenging to maintain consistent furnace operation. It also risks losing product quality and valuable operating time. Virtuo™-R, a digital solution developed by Fives for reheating furnaces, addresses these pain points using fully automatic control to optimise operation.

Fives: Efficiency and decarbonisation Virtuo™-R Virtuo™-R is an innovative decarbonisation solution developed for reheating furnaces. Before the development of Industry 4.0 solutions, furnaces were restricted in their operating pace and capacity due to manual intervention. This led to increased downtime and quality inconsistency which forced steelmakers to rely on predetermined systems and to utilise the expertise of inhouse experts.

Automation helped address these issues by improving costs and stabilising the process. Virtuo™-R relies on fully automatic control to ensure accurate operations at optimal pace and heating points. This automation is appealing to customers because it: �

reduces energy consumption

�

lessens carbon emissions

�

decreases scale loss

�

maximises productivity

�

minimises quality deviation

Fives’ reheating solution has been deployed on over 230 reheating furnaces with an observed impact of 10 to 20% decrease in energy consumption. This also allowed for up to 50% improvement of temperature stability at rolling, up to 6% increase in productivity, and from 15 to 20% reduction in scale loss.

Features Virtuo™-R utilises advanced modeling to enhance the reheating furnace’s operating conditions. It also guarantees improved heatwww.furnaces-international.com

5 Furnaces International December 2023

ing quality and productivity of the reheating process while optimising fuel consumption. Advanced modeling includes thermal modeling of products and furnace systems as well as dynamic control to ensure that the heating process is stable no matter the production conditions.

Thermal modeling uses physical models to make thermal predictions and issue optimal heating curves. The curves and predictions are determined according to quality and productivity targets with minimised energy consumption. Thermal modeling also keeps homogenous heating across the entire slab and allows for applying of process or product heating constraints to end-user-specific needs. In addition, products are heated up as late as possible to optimise scale loss while upholding thermal stability during heating and discharge.

Dynamic control adapts its parameters according to occurring events such as delays, burner efficiency changes, and product

6 Furnaces International December 2023

GREENER FURNACE

emissivity changes to maintain optimal furnace operation. The unique active-pacing function adapts to the ideal furnace discharging rate according to mill requirements. Dynamic control also prevents unnecessary downtime or excessive fuel consumption by utilising delay management and fuzzy logic to overcome the limitations of standard PID controllers.

Finally, Virtuo™-R includes Artificial Intelligence (AI) models to optimise slab discharge temperature according to product family and roughing mill conditions. AI minimises product temperature deviations before finishing the mill, ensuring a stable hot rolling process.

Advantages Thanks to thermal modeling and dynamic control, Virtuo™-R offers flexible, repetitive, and reliable operation of reheating furnaces. It is applicable to any steel grade, product type, or furnace design and significantly decreases production delays due to downtime or human error. Its added values include: �

Better heating efficiency

�

Improved temperature stability

�

Increased product quality

�

Reduced gas consumption

As the industry trends towards more sustainable solutions, Virtuo™-R improves the furnace’s carbon footprint with less energy consumption, allowing reheating furnaces to become more sustainable.

The digital solution is tailored to customer needs and compatible with L1, Mill L2 & MES/L3. In addition to these advantages, it is easily integrated into any existing installation, whether it’s from Fives or any other equipment supplier.

Case study at North American Fives supplied the original reheating furnace to North American Stainless (NAS) in 1997 which produced 200 tons of slabs per hour. It required a high amount of manual intervention for thermal process control and frequent maintenance calls. After years of operation, NAS needed to update the original furnace to level 2 to address these pain points. They chose Fives to commission the upgrade due to their expertise.

n Stainless The project targets were to: �

increase heat efficiency

�

improve energy consumption

�

make the interface more user-friendly

In 2019, a Virtuo™-R system was installed and upgraded during COVID-19 in 2022. The upgrade was completed remotely through Fives’ office in France. It incorporated new features to improve the consistency of discharge temperature, transition between steel grades, and decrease the amount of operator intervention. The upgrade demonstrated a commitment to customised and flexible servicing for customer needs.

“This solution has proven to be beneficial for our hot rolling mill at NAS. Virtuo™-R provides better consistency of discharge temperature, gas savings of up to 4%, and faster transitions between different steel grades. We wanted to achieve a stable process and we obtained a great result,” commented Andrea Kent, Process Engineer, HRM at NAS. The system also enables flexible operation, pace optimisation, and bottleneck and delay management. These benefits free up more time for operators to focus on other tasks.

“Thanks to Virtuo™-R, furnace operation is under fully automatic control,” said Bryan Bond, Operations Group Leader, HRM at NAS. “It is favorable for operators because it frees up their time for other processes. It also provides us the freedom to adjust settings points on our own. This allows for flexible, repetitive, and reliable operation.” �

Reducing the carbon footprint of your heat treating operations The need to understand the impact of greenhouse gases (GHGs), especially carbon-based emissions, on climate change is gaining much more interest recently from organisations that have industrial heating processes. Most industrial heating processes are fueled by carbon-based fossil fuels such as natural gas, propane, fuel oil, diesel, or coal. In basic terms, if you have combustion processes in your organisation, you are emitting carbon (CO2).

Impacts on climate change due to these carbon emissions have prompted government and corporate actions to reduce carbon are creating unique new opportunities for more sustainable and lower carbon process heating methods.

In this article, we will focus on ways to reduce carbon in typical fossil fuel fired heat treat thermal processes.

FIRST STEP: FIGURE OUT WHERE YOU ARE TODAY. DO YOU KNOW? Assess Your Carbon Footprint More and more companies are interested in understanding their GHG/carbon footprints, so they can determine what processes are their biggest CO2 offenders, and on what assets to focus on in order to have the largest impact on reducing carbon. Whether your thermal processes are being heated by fossil fuels (typically natural gas) or electrically, each will have a carbon footprint. Fuel gases are being burned to provide the heat and produce CO2 as a result. Most electrical power is currently being produced

by fossil fuels, so electricity will have a CO2 amount associated per kW. What can be done to burn less fuel in your furnaces or ovens, which directly relates to reducing CO2?

Tune Your Combustion Systems Over time combustion systems drift and are not at their optimum air/fuel ratio. By simply tuning your burner system on a routine basis, you can fire at the optimum air/fuel ratio for the process and be as efficient as possible. For example, if a furnace is firing on natural gas, operating at 1800°F, and currently operating at 35% excess air, tuning your burners to 10% excess air could save approximately 15% in fuel consumed. The fuel costs will be reduced, but the resulting CO2 will be reduced by that same percentage!

Maintain Your Furnaces/Ovens A simple review of your furnaces or ovens to observe any hot spots, openings, faulty seals, or refractory issues will identify areas that will cause your systems to operate less efficiently, thus using more energy. Repairing these problems and consistently maintaining them will have the systems running more efficiently and producing as little carbon as possible.

Upgrade Your Firing Systems To Be More Efficient Incorporating preheated combustion air into furnace combustion systems can significantly reduce fuel consumption and therefore the resulting carbon. The two main methods for introducing hot air into a combustion system are recuperation and regeneration.

The most popular air preheating method in heat treating applications is recuperation. For a direct fired furnace, this can take 12 Furnaces International December 2023

the form of a central stack recuperator or self-recuperative burners. Self-recuperative burners have grown in popularity in recent years as they get rid of the need for hot air piping, recuperator maintenance, and most are often pulse fired, which will not only maximise efficiency but also promote temperature uniformity in the furnace and often be lower in emissions.

See image 1. Direct Fired Self-Recuperative Burner For indirect fired (radiant tube) furnaces you can apply/add a

per cycle.

Combustion air preheating can result in energy savings of close to 25% over cold air combustion.

Renewable Fuels/Hydrogen Renewable fuels or hydrogen have entered the scene as these are fuels that contain little or no carbon. So, no carbon in the fuel means no CO2! These fuels present an excellent opportunity to significantly reduce carbon. Hydrogen has been of interest because it has the opportunity to be a zero-carbon industrial fuel when produced with renewable energy such as wind, solar, hydro, or nuclear power. As these methods become more prevalent, they bring down the price of hydrogen and increase its availability. This could be a significant driver to greatly reduce CO2 in thermal processes.

These topics as well as many others are being discussed in an on-going Sustainability Webinar series hosted by IHEA to provide education and insight into the ever-changing sustainability landscape. �

POSCO and Engie collaborate on green hydrogen project Engie and South Korean steelmaker Posco have signed an agreement to collaborate on a major green hydrogen project in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.

The two companies have announced plans to conduct a feasibility study into building a ‘significant’ green hydrogen

project – potentially comprising of wind, solar, electrolysers and pipelines–that will supply green hydrogen to POSCO’s proposed Hot Briquetted Iron (HBI) plant in Port Hedland for the production of green iron.

Engie is already building one of Australia’s biggest hydrogen electrolyser projects, a 10MW electrolyser at the Yara fertiliser plant near Karratha, supported by 18MW of solar and an 8 MWh battery storage system, which could also lead to a much larger green renewable and hydrogen projects in the Pilbara.

Riz de Buyserie, the head of Engie Australia & New Zealand, a joint venture with Japanese giant Mitusi and Co, said developing green hydrogen as a feedstock to reduce heavy manufacturing emissions is key to helping cut emissions.

‘’Australia is a market where ENGIE is actively looking to grow its hydrogen operations, and we’re optimistic that this study will help us progress a second significant hydrogen development in the Pilbara.’’

The head of POSCO’Ss hydrogen business team, Ju-ik Cho. “POSCO will do more than simply produce export-bound hydrogen in Australia. We will add value by investing not only in producing hydrogen but also in developing hydrogen-using industries.”

“Producing green steel would make Western Australia a world player in the green industry, with current steel manufacturing generating more than 7% of global carbon emissions,” energy minister Bill Johnston added. The study is expected to be completed in early 2024.

Calls for action to accelerate the decarbonisation of the cement industry Fernando Gonzalez, CEO of Cemex has been elected as the new President of the Global Cement and Concrete Association. Mr. Gonzalez is calling for the industry and governments around the world to establish a “robust regulatory framework” that can further accelerate the cement and concrete sector’s decarbonisation efforts.

Mr. Gonzalez has been GCCA Vice President since 2018 and succeeds the outgoing President, Jan Jenisch, whose term of office now ends after two years. Mr. Gonzalez is seeking to galvanize collective efforts to cut emissions, setting out the following priorities for industry and governments: Take decisive action to phase out fossil fuels and promote the use of alternative fuels by encouraging regulation to divert societal waste from landfill to cement kilns.

Enact policies to accelerate the extensive adoption of low-carbon construction products.

Establish market-driven carbon pricing mechanisms around the world to incentivise industry to decarbonise and further develop technology focused on reducing emissions.

Collaborate and provide funding to develop new technologies to de-

16

carbonise manufacturing processes and help speed up the rollout of carbon capture, utilisation, and storage.

Fernando Gonzalez said: “It is a great honour to be President of the GCCA – cement and concrete are the world’s essential building materials. As an industry, we’ve gone beyond the commitment phase to taking decisive action today to reduce our CO2 emissions.”

“While we are making important progress today on our 2030 goals, we currently have the opportunity to accelerate even more the pace of our industry’s decarbonization if we can achieve the right regulatory policies and support from governments around the world. That’s why my number one priority, as the new President of the GCCA, is to collaborate closely with governments and industry to facilitate our roadmap levers.” www.furnaces-international.com

SteelWatch urges steelmakers to redline BF relining plans As four prominent steel companies – Cleveland Cliffs, POSCO, Tata and Bluescope – forge ahead with plans to reline their blast furnaces, Steelwatch and Solutions For Our Climate (SFOC) urge them (and other steelmakers) to reconsider and ‘redline’ any plans to reline and not to run counter to their nations’ climate pledges.

The global steel industry, argues SteelWatch and SFOC, is still moving in the wrong direction in terms of saving the planet, and while IEA chairman Fatih Birol recently stated that advanced economies have ‘special responsibilities in fighting climate change’ it doesn’t look as if they are taking their responsibilities seriously.

As the aforementioned steelmakers invest in relining activities, SteelWatch and SFOC argue that the actions of three of them – POSCO, Tata and Bluescope – ‘fly in the face of commitments already made to align with the Paris climate trajectory as part of their Responsible Steel membership.’

According to Steelwatch/SFOC, the four nations each passed historic climate policies unlocking billions of state funds and/or powerful new regulations that will enable the deep decarbonization necessary for emissions-intensive industries like steel.

SteelWatch’s own report, launched in June, highlighted how these planned relining activities crossed a red line. In the report, SteelWatch

called for no relining of existing coal-based steel production by companies operating in or headquartered in OECD countries.

“Our report makes clear how reaching the 1.5 degree target is incompatible with coal-based steel production,” says SteelWatch, adding that the planet cannot afford to lock in more coal-based steel.

The organisation argues that ‘OECD countries and companies have a responsibility to lead in phasing out coal from steel production due to their ability to make the technological shift faster AND because they have benefitted from the prosperity that has come with up to two centuries of coal-based steel production, enabling the industrialisation of their economies.’

Sorg’s all-electric furnace for Heinz-Glas’ Poland facility Opal glass is a special kind of glass because of the way it is manufactured and also because of the design and the product range it is used for. Over the years, the market demand for opal glass has fluctuated with fashion – its market share is reduced but still there. The production of opal glass is not an easy job; it needs experienced specialists and the correct technology.

In the past, there have been several producers of opal glass in Europe, but today, Heinz-Glas is one of the remaining that is skilled in the specialist production process.

Since market demand for opal glass fluctuates with fashion, it is currently necessary to also produce flint glass with the same furnace to have reasonable utilisation and avoid production gaps.

Heinz-Glas produces its opal glass in Działdowo, Poland. The existing all-electric furnace had a capacity of max. 30 t/d and was equipped with two all-electric forehearths and two IS machines.

The existing furnace operated well, and the forehearths showed good performance in opal glass but were limited in flint glass manufacture due to blisters formed by electrochemical reboil.

Because of a breakdown in March 2020, the furnace needed replacing. To serve the demand of Heinz-Glas customers, the furnace had to be rebuilt quickly.

Since the installation space of the old furnace was already very tight and would not have allowed for any future expansion,

its property to create a second production building and build the new all-electric furnace there.

The Sorg Group was asked to develop a flexible furnace concept that was prepared for additional expansion.

Nikolaus Sorg provided a turn-key furnace installation, including necessary materials like cooling air and cooling water with their respective piping and cabling. During the engineering phase, this was supported by 3D media design.

required to bring the batch from the existing batch house across the site to the new building.

SKS delivered the complete furnace steel and platforms, including erection. Also, the refractory erection, including heating up and filling the furnace, was the responsibility of SKS.

Special requirements Since the market demand for high-class cosmetic packaging changes a lot with current fashion, the focus in furnace design was on maximum flexibility.

The new furnace was designed for a pull of 35 t/d, feeding two production lines. A later expansion to 50 t/d and a third production line is foreseen. That means all furnace equipment is already prepared for 50 t/d.

To react to future market situations, the VSM must have large flexibility in pull (possible low minimum pull and large pull changes per day).

The great challenge for Sorg was the requirement to melt opal glass and soda lime flint glass, with the possibility to also run at a high PCR (post-consumer recycling) cullet content, with the highest efficiency and quality: �

Production of high-quality opal glass with high homoge-

neity. �

Production of high-quality flint glass with minimum seeds.

In the past, many attempts were made to melt both glass types in one furnace. However, to melt each glass type with the high output demanded, the furnace design for both is quite different.

So, in a furnace designed for opal glass, the output for flint glass was inefficient and vice versa: 22 Furnaces International December 2023

www.furnaces-international.com

GLOBAL FURNACES �

To provide homogeneous opacity, the opal glass coming

from the furnace must have a similar history, meaning a rather short residence time. Stagnating areas in the lower part of the furnace must be avoided. �

To provide a seed-free flint glass, the furnace must, on

the contrary, provide a long residence time to allow for gas release and good refining.

To fulfil the request from Heinz-Glas, Sorg designed a VSM with a carefully selected melting area, specific pull, and depth of melter.

The Działdowo furnace is, therefore, in between a pure opal furnace (shallow) and a high-quality flint furnace (deep). When 23 www.furnaces-international.com

producing opal glass, a set of bottom electrodes is used to generate convection currents in the lower part of the furnace.

During flint glass production, these are not active. The furnace steelwork and rotating crown batch charging system are oversized to fit a future expansion to 50 t/d.

Another important issue for opal furnaces is the operating life because of the highly aggressive opal glass melt, leading to intense corrosion of the refractory.

Whereas the operating life of other all-electric furnaces is only approx. 2-3 years in opal glass, Sorg all-electric furnaces contain a package of several measures.

With these measures in place, similar VSM furnaces for opal glass reached a record of almost four to five between cold repairs.

For the Działdowo VSM, the main measures to prolong the operating life of the furnace are as follows: several design elements to allow easy installation of future over-coatings, the shape of the tank with large straight surfaces, binding steel that can be easily adjusted, top electrode holders and furnace cooling nozzles that do not block large parts of the tank walls, and, importantly, newly designed and highly effective cooling of the side walls and at precise spots of the furnace.

The Sorg rotating crown batch charging system is installed, providing dust-free charging of the furnace and allowing for the extraction of harmful gases from the furnace superstructure.

Dust is removed by means of a baghouse filter; hydrogen fluoride is removed by gas sorption; the remaining flue gas is vented outside.

The extraction of harmful gases is important and, in this application, more important than normal. The “dual use” of the VSM

makes two types of gases relevant, which means a careful design of the system is necessary: �

When producing high-quality flint glass, nitrates are often

used for redox control. But as a side effect, the use of nitrates generates harmful nitrous oxide gas, which exists above the batch blanket in high concentrations. �

When producing opal glass, fluor evaporates from the

melt and forms toxic and corrosive hydrogen fluoride.

Besides the furnace, special requirements are needed for the working end and the forehearths. As for the melting process, the flexibility of the furnace also has special demands for the glass conditioning system.

In opal glass, evaporation of fluoride must be avoided to prevent glass quality problems. An all-electric forehearth is best suited.

In flint glass, all-electric forehearths can lead to electrochemical reboil and blisters. For this purpose, the working end and forehearths were equipped with a hybrid heating system consisting of direct electric heating and indirect gas heating.

The key technology here is direct electrical heating by means of electrodes, which is designed to minimise electrode abrasion and reboil bubbles.

In addition, a new forehearth concept for high-quality flint glass 26 Furnaces International December 2023

and opal glass was designed. For flint glass production, an additional heating level with direct gas heating was installed.

All cooling systems in the working end and forehearths are connected to a central cooling air supply. Both forehearths are equipped with the Sorg Conti-Drain as well as an equalising zone stirrer unit.

EME supplied the batch transport system and the cullet preparation, which included the complete hot and cold factory cullet system as well as the feeding and storage of external post-consumer recycled glass.

Scope of supply Nikolaus Sorg provided the furnace and equipment, as well as complete design and engineering, including all piping and cabling.

All installation and services are provided on a turn-key basis.

For the working end and forehearth, as for the furnace, Sorg provided a turn-key installation including all air cooling equipment, air and gas piping, as well as control and power cabling.

EME’s supplies and services are executed on a turn-key basis.

SKS has delivered all steelwork and erected the steel and the refractory material. Also, heating up and filling the furnace was an SKS responsibility.

Equipment manufacture and furnace construction and commissioning were on a tight schedule for both parties, with a building permit needed before construction of a large new furnace building and all hot and cold end equipment.

Experience Installation and commissioning of the furnace went smoothly and with excellent cooperation between Heinz-Glas and Sorg.

27 www.furnaces-international.com

Furnaces International December 2023

GLOBAL FURNACES

Achieving this while remaining within the agreed time frame is remarkable because of the tight available space and the scope of work that included the close interaction of existing and new equipment.

Since the start-up in October 2021, the furnace has already successfully gone through several high-quality flint glass campaigns, several PCR flint glass productions, and also extensive opal campaigns.

Fine-tuning of the melting process, raw material usage, and glass chemistry was completed cooperatively with regular meetings between experts from both companies in Działdowo and Kleintettau as well as Sorg’s glass technology, electric melting, and glass conditioning departments.

The furnace reached all quality requirements defined in the contract without issue; energy consumption figures were also met.

Glass quality and overall furnace operation are both to the full satisfaction of Heinz-Glas.

According to previous operating experience, both forehearths produce good to very good glass quality for flint and opal. �

Event Review: ALUMINIUM USA

By Zahra Awan* The United States has a detailed history of aluminium and music. In the 1930s, Alcoa collaborated Dr. Joseph Maddy, a music teacher and director, in providing 435 aluminium violins and around aluminium 500 double bass instruments to other dealers.

[1]

The Nashville Hall of Fame pays tribute to numerous influential artists, such as; Johnny Cash (1932-2003), Kitty Wells (19192012), Chet Atkins (1924-2001). Tennessee could be considered a museum of music, however, upcoming new artists, such as; Miley Cyrus, Kings of Leon, Taylor Swift, and Kesha represent a new generation.

Aluminium is similar to this new generation. Bridging the gap between old and new, the metal presents an opportunity for multiple industries to innovate their products at a better, more sustainable level, whilst simultaneously enhancing their prospects for future innovation.

The ALUMINUM USA event opened its doors on the 25th October. The two-day event looked at the possibilities for aluminium in the US and Global market. With current global geopolitics, the event provided an opportunity for the industry to catch up and anticipate 2024.

The Conference Opening the conference, Stephen Williams, CRU welcomed Charles Johnson President & CEO, The Aluminium Association.

Mr Johnson provided an overview on the US Aluminum market during and following the COVID years, as well as provided a 12-year outlook for the industry. He noted that the automotive, aerospace, and transport sectors are predicted for growth, but surprisingly it is the “container and packaging sector which is most optimistic.” He went on to emphasise the need for the industry to “race to improve aluminium recycling rates.”

“There has been a big divot in the demand for aluminium, but we have seen demand come roaring back” – Charles Johnson The need for recycling was revisited by Matt Meenan, Vice President, External Affairs, The Aluminum Association, in his presentation ‘The Coming U.S. Recycling Crunch: Why We Need Recycling Refunds’. He summarised the topic as a “long pro32 Furnaces International December 2023

cess, a bit of a slog, but it will happen … and benefit us all!” Mr Meenan stressed the importance of having commercial Deposit Return Schemes and noted that industry and manufacturing sectors have developed systems which enforce high recycling processes. However, on a commercial level, recycling is left up to the consumer.

With the decision of can recycling left to a consumer, it was noted that it is the industries responsibility to educate, push and enforce consumers to make the right choice. He stated: “The US could save around $800 million each year from recycling aluminium cans.” Moving onto the next steps for can recycling implementation in the US, he noted that whatever the plan, it will have to be addressed “State by State.” Providing figures, Oregon came up on top with the highest can recycling rates. Oregon has a well-known DPS scheme. In contrast, many mid and southern states had recycling levels below 20%. These states did not have 33 www.furnaces-international.com

can recycling schemes in place.

With 9.834 million km² of land, America houses all five of the major biomes: aquatic, grassland, forest, desert, and tundra. The biome variations seen State to State mean investors and companies have to consider the pros and cons to developing in an area.

For example, Aluminium needs access to water; this excludes states in the desert biomes; Great Basin, Mohave, Chihuahuan and Sonora. Looking into this topic was Stephen Williamson, Research Manager, Aluminium, CRU, who hosted a panel session with: Bryan Farlow, Regional Director Economic Development & Site Selection; Thomas & Hutton; and Bill Shannon, SVP, Global Battery Foil Program, Granges Group.

“Every two minutes, the energy reaching the earth from he sun is equal to the amount of energy we need to power our activities on earth for a year” – Bill Shannon The panel session also went onto discuss the issues associated with workforce. They concluded that a state-to-state analysis on enhancing and encouraging a specialised workforce for the automotive industry is necessary for industry success. “We have the infrastructure and have overcome the locations, what is lacking is the people.” – Panel Session. To be more specific, the workforce that the panel wished to develop is a high skilled, technology experienced workforce. They agreed that the industry needs personnel who are able to adapt and grow with innovative technology.

Moving away from the topic of recycling, and the US, Marius Baader, Managing Director; Aluminium Association, Germany Discussed the ‘European Green Deal and its Sub-plans – Consequences for the Aluminum Industry’. He provided a European outlook and commented on Carbon Border Adjustment Mecha-

Mr Baader presented the realistic solutions that need to be implemented for these goals to be met. He also commented on the loopholes and issues that the EU have seen regarding the CBAM, and more positively, discussed the listing of aluminium on the Critical Raw Materials Act. “Sometimes the European Commission don’t think things though enough… it is our responsibility to get behind and encourage people to look at aluminium and support the aluminium industry.” – Marius Baader Discussing the EU and North America, both Marius Baader and Charles Johnson commented on the complex relationship the two have with one another. Mr Baader noted that the European Aluminium Industry are envious of the US industry, whilst the European commission don’t approve of US policies. Charles visited this topic in his opening, discussing Global agreements and Aluminum Import Monitoring (AIM). He also addressed the tensions felt with regards to the US and EU disagreement on tariffs, after they could not come to an agreement.

Day Two saw presenters from across the industry. Speakers from; Aluminium Extruders Council, Pyrogenesis, Tecnar, DTE Analyzers, Fives Group, Steinert, Stirweld and Primetals spoke about the latest developments and innovations. In these presentations, speakers offered their latest finds, developments, innovations, and technology to the industry. Presenting alternative Industry 4.0 transition technology, automated designs too improve safety, and announcing pilot project case studies, the industry was able to show off its potential for the highest level of performance.

The Exhibition Floor The conference was just one aspect of the multifaceted event. On the Exhibition floor, ALUMINUM USA saw numerous booths from across the world, come together.

What are MQPs ambitions, anticipations for 2024, in the US? I was fairly bullish actually for 2024, but there’s so much bad stuff going in the world, it certainly isn’t helping sentimentally.

But I think some of the leading financial experts still expect the stock markets to rebound in the next 12 months and predict the formation of another bull cycle. So, we can anticipate economies improving providing that nothing goes seriously wrong with current political affairs.

At the moment, the biggest threat is the situation in the Middle East. If that turned into a wider conflict, that would be a problem. But if it can be contained, I think the global economy will be in a Much better shape.

Primetals to supply ArcelorMittal’s Brazil plant

ArcelorMittal has recently contracted Primetals Technologies for the revamping of two LD converters (BOFs) at its steel plant in Jõao Monlevade, Brazil.

The order includes two new 135-ton converters, an upgrade of the primary

dedusting systems, and complete electrics and automation packages.

The upgraded wet-type primary dedusting systems capture dust from the converters and send it to a water treatment plant.

The resulting emissions will be significantly below the legal limit set by the Brazilian government, says Primetals.

Additionally, the new solution will require much less maintenance than the equipment currently in use.

Primetals Technologies will supply vessels, trunnion rings, suspension systems, tilting drives, bearings, pedestals, and new off-gas cleaning systems for both new converters. A maintenance-free suspension system, Vaicon Link 2.0 keeps the vessel stable and makes thermal ex-

pansion in all directions possible. Vaicon Stopper, a slag retention system, minimises the amount of slag that enters the ladle during tapping. This system ensures shorter production cycles and higher steel quality compared with conventional slag retention systems.

Primetals Technologies will also supply a complete electrics and automation package, including basic (Level 1) automation systems, motors, and drives. The start-up of the new equipment is scheduled for the first quarter of 2025.

With a history spanning close to 90 years, ArcelorMittal Monlevade produces wire rod for industrial applications such as steel wool and steel cord. The site is part of ArcelorMittal Brazil’s Long Steel division and has an annual capacity of 1.2Mt.

SECO/WARWICK cooperate with another fortune global 500 company A Chinese aviation company has announced a cooperation with SECO/ WARWICK and placed an order for a Vector® vacuum furnace for carburizing (LPC) and gas quenching. The furnace will be used for the manufacture of hydraulic pump components and other machinery.

The vacuum furnace ordered by the aviation company will be used mostly for gas quenching parts sensitive to hardening deformations made from such types of steel as tool steel, stainless steel, structural steel, bearing steel or high-speed steel. The device designed by SECO/

WARWICK plans to feature the LPC option, which will be used for vacuum carburizing.

Maciej Korecki, VP, Vacuum Business Segment at the SECO/ WARWICK Group commented on this development, “We are pleased that a Fortune Global 500 company has placed trust in us and commissioned the manufacturing of this technology,…

Our furnace is a guarantee of the perfect quality of workpieces and of a highly repeatable and uniform carburizing process. We understand that the aviation industry is certainly very demanding. Meeting the strictest standards allows us to successfully cooperate with the largest companies in the aviation and automotive industries”

The furnace at Guardian Glass’ Bascharage, Luxembourg plant is on schedule to be operational in Q4 2023 after a cold tank repair.

The oven will be the most energy efficient Guardian Glass furnace.

Once put into operation, the furnace is expected to be more than 25% more energy efficient.

The furnace will also provide extra capacity for the plant to be able to produce both Guardian ExtraClear float glass and Guardian UltraClear low-iron float glass.

The installation of a transferred laminated glass line is also expected to be completed in Q4 2023.

Guus Boekhoudt, Guardian Glass Executive Vice President said: “We invested in the latest melting technology to provide our customers with the most advanced glass products, while using fewer resources.”

The Bascharage plant already hosts a coater that produces Guardian ClimaGuard low-emissivity (low-E) and Guardian SunGuard coated solar control glass for residential and commercial applications.

Boekhoudt added: “Having all these assets consolidated on one site in Luxembourg, close to many of our key customers, will improve our service offering and underlines our long-term commitment to them and the glass industry.”

Bernard Gheysen, Guardian Glass Bascharage Plant Manager said: “I am very proud of the team here – everyone has gone the extra mile on this project. We are excited about the new opportunities it opens, as well as grateful for the strong support we have received from the Luxembourg authorities.”

LIFE OF A FURNACE

The continuous improvement and optimisation of BOF process automation is essential to cope with operator demands such as high process accuracy, stability, flexibility, short ramp-up time, and low consumption figures. Primetals Technologies is constantly extending its principle equation-based process models and, in parallel, introducing data and rule-based functions, leading to hybrid simulation tools for process control and optimisation. By Anna Mayrhofer* There are various reasons why process optimisation systems are applied for monitoring, control, and optimisation of the converter process in steel plants: To meet the demand and maintain competitiveness, the highest flexibility, productivity, and metallic yield must be achieved. Optimisation of consumption figures resulting in decreased consumption enables the reduction of costs. At the same time, the focus is on consistent quality. Different systems for monitoring and adjusting the process are applied, which support meeting these targets. Furthermore, the generation of know-how and the provision of it is essential. Tools for supervision of the process are developed, enabling data recording, evaluation, visualisation, and reporting, increasing the transparency of the process.

Optimisation systems must be continuously improved and adapted with new features to meet market demands. One approach is the expansion of the well-proven first principle process models with data-driven and rule-based functions, leading to Article originally published in Steel Times International

The strengths of different models are used to improve the accuracy of the predictions and obtain a more comprehensive understanding of the process. Hybrid process models enable process control optimisation by identifying the optimal process condition, resulting in improved product quality and reduced costs.

These hybrid process models are additionally used to form a Digital Twin – i.e., a virtual representation of a physical system, such as a machine, process, or entire manufacturing facility. They contribute to improving quality by detecting and removing quality-related problems and increase safety by allowing for a better understanding of the behaviour of the physical system. With a Digital Twin, it is possible to simulate and test different scenarios before implementing them in the real world.

Three types of Digital Twins are applied in Primetals Technologies’ automation and digitalisation systems: �

Hot Metal and Scrap Order Calculation (First Charge Calculation FCC) (Figure b) If the situation in the steel plant allows it, especially if a flexible provision of hot metal (HM) and scrap is possible, an optimisation of the amount of HM or scrap, or both, can be done. In this way, the addition of heating and cooling agents is largely reduced, or in the best case, not even necessary. The Hot Metal and Scrap Order Calculation is part of the Process Pre-Calculation and determines the amount of HM and scrap before the treatment starts. A preparation of HM and scrap can be done accordingly.

The latest developments focus on the individual specification and selection of different HM-to-scrap strategies for controlling the input ratios of HM and different types of scrap. In this way, it is possible to optimise the mixing ratio depending on the current production philosophy and availability and the costs of HM and scrap. Figure 2.

Standard Melting Practice and Automatic SMP Selection (Figure c) Standard Melting Practices (SMP) define process setpoints covering various input settings to reach target figures. SMPs represent the technological and metallurgical know-how, forming a standardised basis for targeted control to changing initial situations. The main setpoints for the BOF are lance position and oxygen flow rate, bottom stirring, and material addition pattern.

With customisable rules, the selection of SMPs is made automatically depending on HM and scrap properties, tapping target values and considering the used lance tip. Figure 3.

In the case of an inblow measurement system, the amount of cooling or heating agents, fluxes, and remaining oxygen to be blown is determined based on the latest results from this measurement (T, express C). Corrective measures due to influences from the blowing lance hot spot are considered. Alternatively, data from an off-gas analysis system – e.g., Primetals Technologies’ LOMAS (Low Maintenance Gas Analysing System) – is used. The gas components – like CO, CO2, and O2 – are measured, and actual carbon content, decarburisation rate, temperature, and slag FeO content are cyclically determined. These measurements are the basis for determining the remaining necessary amount of oxygen, triggering blow stop, and enabling dynamic process control. In the best case scenario, both systems are installed. Figure 5.

Reblow Control (Figure g) Suppose steel analysis or temperature are not within the specified target limits by the end of blowing. In that case, a pre-defined countermeasures strategy is selected depending on which values are not within the valid range. Actual steel analysis from sample and temperature measurements are used to determine the amounts of cooling or heating agents, fluxes, and oxygen to be blown. The analysis ensures targeted reaction, prompt execution, and standardised selection of correction measures.

Alloy control (Figure h) The necessary types, weights, and timing of deoxidants and alloying materials during tapping are determined to reach the target steel analysis. At the same time, the costs of the used materials are considered. Steel and slag analysis in the converter before tapping, target steel analysis after tapping, material properties and constraints, and, if available, the thermal condition of the teeming ladle are also considered.

a tool that uses the measured and calculated data from the heats produced to improve the tuning parameters used for calculation.

Completed heats can be recalculated with modified tuning parameters. There are two different methods to select new tuning parameters: �

Sandbox Mode: manual selection and adaption of tuning

parameters �

Optimise Mode: an optimal set of tuning parameters is

calculated

The results for a set of completed heats are calculated by the optimisation system with the selected tuning parameters and compared to the temperature and steel analysis measurements of the heats. In this way, it is possible to gradually improve calculation accuracy by selecting more suitable tuning parameters, resulting in reduced deviations between calculated and measured values. Figure 6.

Automatically selected tuning parameters from Optimise Mode show an overall better match between measured data (y axis) and calculated values (x axis) for both temperature and carbon.

One can see that the calculated values with the optimised parameters (green) are overall closer to the ideal line (blue, measured = calculated) compared to the calculated values with the previous tuning parameters (red).

An optimal database must be available for the Optimise Mode of Feedback Calculation to function properly. An evaluation of data of the heats produced ensures this. With Heat Data Evaluation an index is calculated, which gives feedback on the quality of process operation, data, and calculation accuracy. The following information is considered: 57 www.furnaces-international.com

�

Quality of input data, e.g., hot metal weight, chemical

analysis �

Deviation from a standard operation, e.g., material addi-

tions shortly before measurements �

Availability of measurements and sample results for metal

and slag, e.g., complete inblow and endblow measurement �

Matching of model results and measurements

�

Occurrence of abnormal events, e.g., blowing interrup-

tions, slopping Furthermore, the Heat Data Evaluation supports process metallurgists and engineers in evaluating the heats by providing a fast overview of the right KPIs.

Conclusion Dynamic and accurate process control is enabled by combining first principle models applied over decades with the latest developments containing data-driven and rule-based functions. This results in hybrid process models with the highest hitting rates for carbon and temperature and leads to low reblow rates, ensuring efficient and flexible high-quality carbon steel production. A targeted selection of hot metal, scrap, and materials that are added during the process reduces production costs.

Tools are developed focusing on improving the calculation accuracy by selecting more suitable tuning parameters and enabling an even better prediction of the whole process. These tools significantly impact the Digital Twin, perfectly reflecting reality. �

Furnaces International December 2023

LIFE OF A FURNACE The SIP results in a significant increase in the efficiency of the manufacture of pig iron; it saves costs amounting to several million Euros every year on blast furnace 1 in Schwelgern and has therefore paid for itself in less than 2 years of operation. The annual CO2 savings amount to well over 100,000 tonnes.

The history of the blast furnace process is a long story of great innovations and technical improvements. Again and again, there have been courageous innovators who were willing to question common methods in order to further optimise the production process of pig iron. In the 18th century, for example, Abraham Darby succeeded in using coke instead of charcoal. As a result, blast furnaces became considerably larger and more efficient. In the 19th century, Edward Alfred Cowper managed an innovation leap with the newly emerging blast preheaters. Today the socalled “Cowpers” are part of every blast furnace plant.

Utilising the “sequence impulse process with induced shock waves”, the blast furnace has now reached the next stage in its evolution. Behind the SIP are thyssenkrupp AT.PRO tec GmbH and its present managing director, Dr Rainer Klock. As a team, they developed the technology over a period of more than 10 years in such a way that its use at the blast furnace became

deeper inside the furnace. In the standard process technology, a cone of coke is created - the so-called “dead man”. Incompletely reacted fine particles block this coke bed. The gas flow and heat cannot penetrate deeply enough into the furnace.

The solution: strong intermittent impulses to enable the necessary deep penetration of the technical oxygen. This leads to a short-term, local surplus of oxygen and a more complete chemical conversion of the fine particles – even deep inside the coke bed. The shock waves associated with the impulses break open blockages at this point and mix the contents by means of strong turbulences. They ensure a more homogeneous gas distribution and a better flow-off of the molten metal and the slag. www.furnaces-international.com

Phase 1: ASIPGO – the collaborative research project of thyssenkrupp and RWTH Aachen (2007-2011) The technology has been working successfully for years on a smaller scale in cupola furnaces and enables a considerable increase in cost-effectiveness. Use on the much larger blast furnaces was, however, still completely unresearched.

When AT.PRO tec approached RWTH Aachen and the Institute of Ferrous Metallurgy (IEHK) situated there with the subject, Rainer Klock had just completed his degree thesis. RWTH looked for research associates for the new research project, which was supported by thyssenkrupp as the industrial partner. “That was the perfect opportunity for me. Not only was I able to write my doctorate thesis directly following my degree, the project also offered me the possibility to work on one of the largest blast furnaces in Europe”, said Dr Klock later. “The ASIPGO project was intended to pursue two goals over a period of three years: firstly, to improve the use of SIP on cupola furnaces through automation and secondly to enable the use of SIP on blast furnaces.”

Within the framework of his doctorate thesis, Rainer Klock focused on research into use on the blast furnace. First, the physical and chemical processes were examined that made the SIP successful on the cupola furnace. The research group, consisting of employees from thyssenkrupp AT.PRO tec, thyssenkrupp Steel Europe and RWTH Aachen, wanted to understand the processes in the raceway zone of a blast furnace and how they would probably be affected by oxygen impulses in order to be able to transfer the technology from the cupola furnace to the blast furnace with the collected knowledge.

Based on these findings at the IEHK, a SIP test system for blast furnaces was finally constructed. Compared to the SIP system for 67 www.furnaces-international.com

LIFE OF A FURNACE With its crucible diameter of 13.6 m, a total height of approx. 110 m and an internal volume of 4,416 m3, the Schwelgern 1 blast furnace has a potential output of 10,000 t per day.

cupola furnaces, significantly larger nominal diameters and pressures were now used. The system therefore had to be adapted and equipped with suitable components. One of the main focal points was the so-called pulse valves. These had to be capable of generating the strongest possible shock wave. Following a long series of investigations with different types of valves, the sliding gate valve from Schubert & Salzer was selected.

The principle of this valve was fascinatingly simple: two slotted discs that slide over each other and seal against each other.

A sealing plate, fixed perpendicular to the direction of flow on which another movable disc with the same slot arrangement is moved, changes the flow cross-section. The applied pressure difference presses the movable disc against the fixed disc and thus contributes to leak-tightness. The short opening times achievable by this principle and the pressure resistance with large nominal diameters were ultimately decisive.

LIFE OF A FURNACE

Phase 2: From experiment to large–scale industrial use (2011 – 2020) The first tests with the SIP test system on the Schwelgern 1 blast furnace yielded such promising results that thyssenkrupp Steel Europe decided to further develop the process beyond the research project. With its hearth diameter of 13.6 m, a total height of approx. 110 m and an internal volume of 4,416 m3, the Schwelgern 1 blast furnace has a potential output of 10,000 t per day. The welded steel construction, which is lined inside with refractory material and has a closed cooling water circuit, is one of the most modern blast furnaces in the world. Rainer Klock was to manage the further development of SIP as plant engineer and was appointed by thyssenkrupp Steel Europe towards the summer of 2010.

Whilst an industrially operational prototype had to be created on the basis of the SIP test system, this prototype was to be further optimised for the process. “In order to further improve the effect of our process, we began to dedicate ourselves to the shock waves associated with each impulse,” explained Dr Rainer Klock, now a doctor of metallurgy. “We were convinced that, as part of the SIP, it was making an important contribution to the positive effect of the SIP on the process. We wanted to enlarge the raceway zone and break open blockages in the coke bed with strong shock waves. This would increase the permeability and consequently the efficiency of the blast furnace process with larger reaction surfaces.”

“At that time the project team at AT.PRO tec sat down with us and explained what they intended to do,” said Marcel Mokosch from Technical Sales at Schubert & Salzer Control Systems. “To generate impulses with even stronger shock waves, the high www.furnaces-international.com

opening speeds had to be optimised still further in order to achieve extremely short opening times. In principle, sliding gate valves were the perfect choice for this application. The typical stroke between “open” and “closed” is only about 8 mm. This short stroke is accompanied by very small moved masses. For that reason, only small actuating forces are needed. As a result, the valve is ultimately even more compact than most other types of valves.”

Following this meeting, the first “SIP box” - the prototype of the new system - ran for four to five years in continuous operation. In this time it was continually, further optimised. Over the years, step by step, the originally selected sliding gate valve design continued to develop together with the system and the process. In close cooperation, the various design changes were made and then tested in practice in order to adapt the valve to the requirements of the application.

“Finally, we had managed to optimise the valve to a record opening speed of just 2 ms. This made it possible to generate impulses that reach deep into the coke bed with really strong shock waves,” said Marcel Mokosch. “However, the extremely fast switching speeds combined with high pressures and high switching frequency brought the valve to its load limits. This combination of requirements was really a challenge for us at the time, but we also saw it as a great opportunity for the sliding gate technology to prove itself.

In order to achieve valve service lives that were acceptable to In over 10 years of development work with Schubert & Salzer as their partner, Dr Rainer Klock and the team at AT.PRO tec succeeded in getting the SIP technology to work on blast furnaces, too, with the help of sliding gate valves.
