Article in Arabic - The Expert Furnace System Optimisation Process (EFSOP®) is now well established in EAF steelmaking. Similar control concepts are applicable to other furnace systems and a trial is underway at Hamilton Steel where EFSOP® has been applied to a BOF converter.Development projects also continue for its application on cement kilns and power station.

In the mid-1990's HYL (now Tenova HYL), based in Mexico, began promoting the advantages of its new generation of direct reduced iron (DRI) containing high level of carbon (>3.5%).

Growing environmental emission constraints have led manufacturers to improve both their low NOX recuperative burners and high efficiency low NOX regenerative burners. This article describes Tenova's FlexyTech® burner technology.

For Tenova Metal Making, 2007 is the year in which its operating and organisational integration is consolidated. This will optimize and stimulate the activities of an organization that is strongly focused towards the global market and which currently has operative companies in four countris (Italy, Mexico, Canada and South Africa).

While a number of drawbacks of conventional tinplating processes can be overcome by using insoluble anodes, their use can have some other disadvanrages. Tenova in cooperation with CSM Centro Sviluppo Materiali in Rome, has overcome those to create a modern insoluble-anode tinplating process.

Article in Portuguese - Push-pull pickling lines are a new concept of processing lines, whose market is growing in order to satisfy requirements of flexibility for medium or low annual production.

Techint Technologies, supplier of steel plant technology operating on an international basis, has expanded its range of activities by consistently foloowing ad impressive strategy of mergers and acquisitions since 2004. Now this strategy of growth has culmated in the launch of its new umbrella brand name: Tenova

Modern cold rolling and processing lines produce high quality low carbon finished steel coils with capacities from 200 to 650 ktpy. A whole range of end products is produced, but three basic solutions can be provided to produce all the different final cold rolled and processed coils within the same complex, with one push-pull pickling line, one or two cold reversing mills, and the other process lines.

Tenova LOI ITALIMPIANTI's FlexyTech® reheat furnaces have been further developed with new burners to achieve extremely low levels of NOx emissions of 40 ppm @ 3% O2 in dry flue gases, coupled with improved energy efficiency.
