What is the Power Consumption of Ladle Refining Furnace?

Iron and steel enterprises must achieve the goal of energy conservation and emission reduction through effective measures. In the actual production process, the power consumption of refining furnaces has always been a very important focus. By strengthening the effective control of the power consumption of refining furnaces, it can directly help steel smelting enterprises in terms of energy utilization efficiency and production cost control.

Steel smelting enterprises have a huge amount of emissions. Strengthening the energy conservation and emission reduction control of enterprises can have a positive impact on the environment and ecological construction of the entire region. Refining furnaces use electricity as a source of energy and use electricity to heat steel. It is conceivable that its consumption is very huge.

Therefore, there is a lot of room for energy consumption control. Even if only some improvements are made in one aspect through technological transformation, it will have a huge impact on the saving of electricity. Based on this reality, many steel smelting enterprises and related research institutions are committed to making breakthroughs in the research of energy consumption control, and the state's power consumption control standards for steel smelting enterprises have also promoted the investment of enterprises.

Current Status of Power Consumption of Refining Furnace and Necessity of Energy Consumption Control

In steel smelting enterprises, a large amount of energy needs to be invested in smelting. From coal to electric energy, different energy types play their respective roles in the entire smelting process.

Electric energy is mainly used for smelting in refining furnaces, and is also a major energy consumption formed by current steelmaking. It embodies several significant characteristics:

First, the energy consumption is large, which is directly related to the high melting point of steel and the large-scale production;

Second, the efficiency is low. From the current efficiency of refining furnace power utilization, it is still at a very low level, and many channels of energy leakage are difficult to be fully controlled;

Third, the control technology is outdated. From the current power consumption control technology of refining furnaces in my country, there are still

serious backward problems. In addition, due to the large-scale expansion of infrastructure in recent years and subsequent saturation, domestic steel production has faced the problem of oversupply after expanding its scale. The market has formed a counter-effect on the entire production field, and the motivation for technical improvement and innovation is insufficient.

In order to guide steel enterprises to become regular enterprises, the state has eliminated backward production capacity on the one hand and strengthened technological innovation on the other hand, including power consumption control technology.

The power consumption control of the refining furnace can save a lot of energy while reducing production costs, allowing steel enterprises to optimize production capacity and improve operating quality. This is also an important purpose of technical research and development for controlling power consumption. For steel enterprises, it has great practical significance.
