Tenova Goodfellow is the Centre of Excellence for process control technology within Tenova Melt Shops. As the world leader in real-time off-gas based process control, Goodfellow EFSOP® offers an extractive sampling system with data acquisition and process model/analysis and control. Through continuous measuring of O2, H2, CO and CO2, the EFSOP® system dynamically controls and improves the efficiency of the EAF steelmaking process through the optimization of available chemical energy and post-combustion, change of practice, as well as improving safety and environmental benefits.
Through partnerships with government, university and industry leaders Tenova Goodfellow is continuously engaging in R&D to develop the next generation of optimization control strategies. The focus of Tenova Goodfellow is to provide our clients with the highest quality, most technologically advanced industrial equipment and process control technology for the markets we serve.
EFSOP®: The Expert Furnace System Optimization Process measures and analyzes off-gases (CO, CO2, O2 and H2) continuously at the fourth hole to dynamically control and improve the steelmaking process.
i EAF®: Benefits of the Intelligent EAF (
i EAF
®) model include lower conversion costs, increased productivity, improvements in steel quality, environmental benefits and improved safety. Off-gas composition measurements are utilized to ascertain important information such as resolving mass and energy balance of the gas phase, bath/slag for EAF.
i BOF®: is breakthrough technology designed to reduce operating costs by lowering tap alloy additions, refractory consumption and oxygen use; increasing yield, productivity and scrap-melting capability and reducing GHG emissions.
Gas Analysis Equipment: Gas Analysis Equipment including: portable gas analyzers, continuous gas analyzers and sample conditioning equipment for important applications in the steel-making industry.
