Tenova’s Intelligent EAF technology (iEAF®) provides a multistep roadmap for continuous improvement, cost saving and increased safety. iEAF® combines complete real-time measurements and fundamental process models to provide a robust, stable process control solution and avoid the imprecision and drift associated with incomplete measurements, assumptions & statistical models. iEAF®’s 1st STEP reduces operating costs using NextGen® full spectrum analysis (CO, CO2, O2, H2, H2O & N2) to holistically optimize & dynamically control chemical energy and fume system suction. The 2nd STEP adds off-gas temperature & velocity sensors, fundamental thermodynamic models, a PLC link and a precise real-time mass & energy balance to further reduce costs and increase yield & productivity by dynamic control of both electrical & chemical energy. The industry’s most comprehensive water leak detection using both H2 & H2O vapor analysis can be integrated into either STEP 1 or 2. The iEAF® represents a powerful, stable and robust process control engine for EAF Level 2 automation.
