Energy efficient design of furnaces for graphitization electrode products PP146
- Country of manufactureUkraine
PURPOSE AND SCOPE
The development is designed for the graphitization of electrode large size forgings of ferrous and non - ferrous metals in steel - smelting electric arc furnaces, aluminum and magnesium electrolysis cells
STATE OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY PROTECTION
Received 3 patents of Ukraine for useful model
MARKET DEMAND
Electrode products graphitization technology of Castner furnaces compared to Acheson furnaces give the opportunity to achieve a significant reduction in unit costs of electricity by 20 - 25% and the duration of the graphitization process that determines their demand in the market.
MAIN ADVANTAGES OF THE DEVELOPMENT
Energy efficient constructions and regulations for the operation of the Castern furnaces for the graphitization of large - sized electrode blanks are developed. They correspond to analogues of the leading carbon and graphite products world manufactures: SGL Carbon, MERSEN, GrafTech, TokaiCarbon. They do not have analogues in Ukraine. They provide for a high quality electrode products while increasing productivity and reducing the specific energy consumption
STATUS OF READINESS OF THE DEVELOPMENT
Research work has been carried out. Work in the form of technical solutions, preliminary designs of software is ready for the implementation in production
