Abstract

The problem of energy recovery from the electric arc furnace process of steel industry is addressed. During a tap to tap cycle, a significant part of the energy required for steel production is dissipated by the off-gas. The high variability of temperatures and flows, and the high concentration of dust, which characterize the production process, make the adoption of current energy recovery solutions quite difficult, both from the technological and the economical perspective.
