Oxygen Module
Uses real-time electrical data from DigitARC® PX3 and SmartARC® to dynamically regulate gas, oxygen, and carbon injection based on heat conditions and bath composition, ensuring accurate endpoint prediction and optimal combustion control.
- Burner/Lance control add-on for flexible injector management.
- Decarburization and endpoint carbon control to reach target carbon levels efficiently.
- Carbon injection management with precise flow control.
- Compatible with any burners or injectors.
- Operator-friendly, making it easier to train new EAF operators.
- Real-time C and O₂ flow control, estimating bath oxidation using injected oxygen and calculated furnace oxygen demand.
- Statistical calculations to determine optimal oxygen lancing start/stop timing.
- Minimizes end-of-heat delays for temperature and ppm% correction and reduces FeO in slag.
- Combines with Slag Module for advanced chemical energy control.
- Can integrate with Off-Gas Module for further optimization of carbon and oxygen usage.
- Increasing productivity. Efficient energy input shortens the time required to melt the scrap.
- Lower cost. Efficient power input lowers consumptions. Less stress in the transformer and the power equipment reduces maintenance cost and time.
- Improves arc stability. Better arc stability improves power input and decreases refractory wear or panel damage.
- Dynamic control of electrical energy based on heat conditions.
- Improves O₂ PPM control for consistent endpoint achievement.
- Increases iron and alloy yield by reducing oxidation losses.
- Optimizes carbon consumption for cost and process efficiency.
- Enhances FeO control in slag for better yield and lower slag losses.
- Reduces refractory wear with controlled oxidation conditions.
- Increases chemical energy input when scrap conditions allow, reducing electrical energy demand.
- Shortens carburization and oxidation times at tap, reducing power-on time and heat cycle duration.
- Supports safer and more consistent EAF operations, even with less experienced operators.
