at this conference, we will deliver a presentation entitled "Energy efficiency gains with heat recovery and ORC in high performance EAFs.".

Abstract:
Recovering EAF off gas waste heat is a key to improve energy efficiency in electric steelmaking.

EAF heat recovery with evaporation cooling and steam production is more and more used. When steam exceeds direct heat demand, energy conversion to electricity with ORC is a proven solution.

Various heat recovery systems, mostly operating in Europe since 2013, demonstrate how ORC can improve EAF steelmaking energy efficiency and economics.

The largest of these plants, with a 7 MW electric power ORC, started up in 2018 at Arvedi Steel making the EAF based facilities in Cremona one of the most efficient steelplants worldwide.
