Degassing Optimization
After years of trials in the meltshop, the final technical solution for a mechanical pumping system for vacuum treatment in steelmaking has been finalized by SMS group and the pump manufacturer Flowserve/SiHi. The results of trials and the validation process of the technology are presented in this paper, outlining the optimal solution for a series of installations with specific technical demands. Existing steam ejector revamping, small VTD, HI-dust production process such as VOD or VD-OB or RH-OB, limited space layouts and ATEX requirements are challenges well answered by this innovative solution — a game changer and technological step ahead.
