Quick EAF revamping at Ferriere Nord

Danieli Service conducted the revamping of the EAF in operation at Ferriere Nord, part of Pittini Group, in Osoppo, Italy.

Thanks to the skill of Ferriere Nord personnel and the excellent melting practices developed by Ferriere Nord meltshop team, the furnace, previously supplied by Danieli in 2013, has been recognized as one of the benchmark EAFs in the world for many years now.

The revamping consisted of a tailor-made supply of two sets of shells and water-cooled roofs.

The new shells, supplied in a larger diameter of 7.1 m, will allow the use of two-buckets charging process, resulting in reduced power-off time and emissions.

Excellent chemical packages already in operation were maintained.

This new implementation was put on stream 11 months from the order, on-time and performing at full power right from the beginning.
