Tenova will supply an Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) equipped with Consteel® and Electromagnetic Stirrer Consteerrer® to POSCO for its Gwangyang plant in South Korea.
After a two-year process of co-engineering and competitive comparison, POSCO has selected Tenova’s equipment: a full-platform EAF capable of tapping 280t of liquid steel, equipped with the continuous scrap charging system Consteel® and the electromagnetic stirring system Consterrer®.
The new EAF will be uniquely designed to match the needs of quality, productivity, and efficiency that such an experienced steelmaker demands, and will be equipped with a full set of robotic applications and enhanced safety solutions such as the Safe+ EAF water leakage detection system to dispel any concerns about EAF safety and user-friendliness some BOF users might still harbour.
The new EAF will be installed in a dedicated new section of the Gwangyang plant and is scheduled to enter production by the end of 2025.
