ORI Martin, one of the main European integrated steel groups which produces high-quality steel for the automotive, fastener, mechanical and building sectors, has awarded Tenova, a leading company in sustainable solutions for the green transition of the metals industry, a new contract to replace its Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) at its mill in Brescia, Italy.
Tenova has now been contracted to revamp the 25-year-old EAF. With this new contract, ORI Martin will finalize the revamping of their plant, optimizing consumption and process for the safe production of steel with minimal environmental impact.
The Brescia plant will also be ready for the installation of an Electro-Magnetic Stirrer with Tenova’s Consteerrer process which will increase process efficiency. The Consteerrer technology is an innovative electro-magnetic stirring system, developed through an exclusive worldwide partnership with ABB. It offers significantly low operating costs, extremely reliable and safe operations, as well as superior quality steel. The Consteerrer enhances the Consteel Evolution process with ABB’s ArcSave non-contact electromagnetic stirring of the furnace’s liquid bath and can be customized to match the needs of different EAF process steps.
Start-up of the new furnace is scheduled for June 2024.
