How Can Our Lime Injection Experts Help You?
How Can Our Lime Injection Experts Help You? Lime injection technologies can bring significant process improvements and cost benefits to EAF steelmaking by reducing lime waste, promoting energy savings, and extending refractory life.
Implementing a successful lime injection system requires a focused expertise on the raw material (lime and dolime), its storage, handling, flow control, and best practices for delivery to the furnace.
- Understanding Your Lime Supply: To get lime efficiently to the furnace, it starts with an understanding of the source. Raw material expertise from Carmeuse ensures that your system is designed to accommodate the high calcium or dolomitic lime available to your site.
- Expertly Designed Lime Handling: From offloading and lime storage, to flow promotion, pneumatic conveying, and lime injection, Carmeuse Systems designs to suit your needs, works with your existing approved contractors, accommodates your current equipment, and offers project oversight, startup services, training and aftermarket support.
- Accurate Dosing with Dense-Phase Lime Injection: Coperion injection systems are designed to convey lime to your furnace with mechanically controlled feeding and gravimetric flow control. This design has been proven to provide accurate, reliable and consistent supply to the furnace, even with variations in material size.
- Efficient Delivery to the Bath with Supersonic Injectors: Tallman Technologies patented supersonic lime injectors create a coherent injection stream to deliver lime to the bath. This delivery method reduces the loss of lime to off-gassing and improves customer sustainability goals by significantly reducing CO2 emissions.
Through Carmeuse System’s partnership with Coperion and Tallman Technologies, we provide a complete, world-class lime injection solution with extensive expertise throughout each element of the system.
