Assess energy and carbon in steel — electric arc furnace

Set the boundary first. Collect site evidence before selecting a measure or reporting a result.

01

Set the assessment boundary

Separate furnace electricity, burners, carbon additions, oxygen, casting, reheating and utilities. State the scrap and direct-reduced-iron mix.

02

Collect site evidence

Electricity interval data, metallic charge, yield, carbon and electrode use, fuels, oxygen, production by grade and the applicable electricity factor.

Inzonex removable modular insulation on industrial equipment
Equipment heat loss

Measure exposed hot surfaces

Use measured surface area, temperature and operating hours to calculate heat loss from boilers, kilns, heat exchangers, valves and pipework. Inzonex supplies removable modular insulation for equipment that requires maintenance access.

  • Design target: surface temperature at or below 45 °C, subject to the application and design review
  • Claimed heat-loss reduction: up to 96%, subject to the measured boundary and insulation specification
  • Removable construction for inspection and maintenance access
  • Calculation record available for the selected equipment and operating conditions

Do not add a calculated reduction to an emissions report until the reporting boundary, factor, implementation date and verification method have been approved.

03

Record the decision

Compare routes only for equivalent products. Test whether a change affects yield, tap temperature, cycle time, product quality or the electricity boundary.

04

Assess exposed hot equipment

Review ladle, tundish, reheating and steam-system surfaces using measured temperatures and actual operating schedules.

05

Use the technical source

International Energy Agency: Iron and Steel

This page does not assign a sector benchmark, standard saving, cost or payback. Use current site data, record the calculation method and obtain the required technical and compliance review.
