Work is progressing as we prepare for installation in January of the new Electric Arc Furnace in our Green Steel Centre. This week the following components have been removed from the existing EAF -
- Electrodes removed
- Electrode power cables removed
- Fumex hood removed
- Concrete roof removed
Additional work carried out has included
- Refractory lining wrecked and removed
- Water system drained in preparation for engineering work
We are investing £2.9m to upgrade our Electric Arc Furnace (EAF). This seven-tonne furnace is the only research facility of its kind in the UK and plays a pivotal role in developing the technologies and processes that will enable the next generation of green steel production.
The upgraded EAF will provide a cutting-edge facility for developing, testing, and refining advanced green steel technologies under realistic industrial conditions. By bridging the gap between laboratory research and full-scale production, it will support the transition to scalable, sustainable, low-carbon steelmaking backed by existing secondary refining and casting capability to make almost any steel.
