Reduce CO2 Emissions with Lime Injection

Lime injection can support your sustainability goals by helping mitigate CO2 emissions in your steel shop. As global environmental concerns grow, adopting lime injection is becoming the preferred application for responsible EAF steel production.

• Saving Lime & Reducing CO2: By operating in a closed-loop environment, lime injection allows for greater lime utilization and reduces baghouse losses, decreasing overall lime consumption (approximately 7-15%) and lowering CO2 emissions.
• Increasing Energy Efficiency: Lime injection technologies enable more efficient and accurate flux dosing. This can lead to process improvements, better control of slag viscosity and reduced power-on time. The resulting energy savings (process electricity and fuel consumption) can have a ripple effect, lowering CO2 emissions.
• Extending the Life of Consumables: The efficient use of lime and dolime can extend the lifespan of refractory linings and electrodes, reducing consumable expenses and impacting CO2 emissions. Overall, more efficient use of consumables contributes to a greener steel industry.
