13 A1 A. Energy Saving for Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) High temperature continuous scrap preheating EAF Preheating scraps with hightemperature exhaust gas is possible because the preheating shaft and melting chamber are directly and rigidly connected, so the scraps are continually present, from the steel to preheating areas. This enables hightemperature preheating of the scraps, resulting in a significant reduction of power consumption. The melting chamber is sealed off from outside air, to prevent the excess air inlet. It prevents over oxidation of scrap under high temperature preheating.as this equipment keeps always flat bath operation, electrode consumption is significantly improved. Furthermore, the electric facilities necessary to meet power quality regulation can be drastically reduced on it may not even unnecessary depending on required regulation. Dioxins are decomposed through an exhaust gas combustion chamber and rapid quench chamber in the exhaust gas duct system. Not only dioxins but also a volatile material that causes foul odors and white smoke will be decomposed and the dispersal of them are also prevented.the furnace prevents diluting of exhaust gasses. Therefore, the CO within the exhaust gas can be used as fuel, reducing the amount of fuel gas consumed.flat bath operation dramatically reduces noise during operation. The reduction of power consumption also contributes to the reduction of emission of greenhouse gasses during power generation.

34 D5 D. Energy Saving for Reheating Furnace Air conditioning by absorption type refrigerating by using reheating furnace exhaust gas Co Profit This is a waste heat recovery system by using the absorption chiller. If there is a waste heat more than 200 deg.

35 E2 E. Common systems and General Energy Energy monitoring and management systems Daily and monthly reports of energy balance Online monitoring and logging system for energy currents Electric Power Steam Fuel Oxygen This measure includes site energy management systems for optimal energy consumption in the plant. Online monitoring: This is often used for the most important energy flows at the site. The data are stored for a long time so that typical situations may be analyzed. It is very important to monitor for all energy sources on online. It is the main technique used to avoid energy losses. Continuous monitoring systems: Since all energyrelated process parameters are used to optimize process control and to enable instant maintenance, undisrupted production process could be achieved. Reporting and analyzing tools: Reporting tools are often used to check the average energy consumption of each process. In connection with cost controlling, controlling energy is the basis for optimizing energy consumption and cost savings. An energy controlling system enables to compare actual data with historical data (e.g. charts) Co 0.12 GJ/tsteel [*1, 2] Not Announced Profit 4.

36 E3 E. Common systems and General Energy Management of compressed air delivery pressure optimization 'The delivery pressure of compressors is generally 100 kpa or higher. Compressors have been developed for a variety of applications. Table shows the types of compressors available, and their range of applications. Energy saving in compressors requires consideration of the following points. * Selection of the appropriate capacity * Reduction in delivery pressure Since the required motive power increases with increased delivery pressure, delivery pressure should be reduced as much as possible, while at the same time being sufficient for the receiving equipment (Fig. ), however it should be noted that motive power does not decrease with delivery pressure in the case of turbo compressors. * Prevention of leakage * Reduction in temperature of the compressed air * Reduction in intake air resistance Intake air resistance increases with intake filters, silencers, and valves in piping etc, and will increase the required motive power if excessive. Care is required to reduce pressure losses in the intake air system through periodic cleaning of filters to eliminate clogging. * Reduction in piping resistance Co Profit 285 MWh/y Not Announced Not Announced 4.
