Gerdau Knoxville Lime Injection System

Gerdau Knoxville in Tennesse, USA has ordered a lime injection system for their consteel EAF. The system consists of engineering for the project, a 150 cuft injection vessel, and a water cooled injection port on the EAF sidewall. Their current method of adding lime to the consteel scrap conveyor results in a high loss of lime to the offgas system. The switch to sidewall injection of lime is expected to reduce lime consumption and increase control over the slag chemistry.
