Injection Technology
Gerdau Monroe has installed and commissioned the Tallman Bronze Supersonic Carbon Injection System (TSCi™) for use in their 135-ton EAF located in Monroe, Mich. TSCi is an innovative injection system with the primary aim of improving injection carbon delivery to the steel bath by increasing efficiency. It is proven technology, with installations at numerous steelmaking facilities all over the world. Results from installation and commissioning of TSCi at Gerdau Monroe will be reported, as well as ongoing trials and optimization efforts. Using this method, savings at Gerdau Monroe were realized by reducing the amount of carbon injection used in each heat while maintaining or improving upon existing foamy slag practice. Significant savings were also achieved as a result of reduced FeO content in the slag and improved recovery of iron.
