Scrap Management & Optimization
Best Practice scrap management
Best-in-Class scrap management allows the Steelmaker to:
Downgrade/reject merchant scrap loads
Reduce scrap yard landfill costs
Minimise scrap stocks
Optimise scrap charges
Consequences of poor scrap management:
=> EAF delays waiting for scrap
=> Incorrect weights charged
=> Low yields
=> Increased slag volumes
=> Missed specifications
=> Increased refractory wear
=> Greater flux, O2, power consumption Financial impact:
1 minutes lost production time approx $3000
10oC Cooling requirement approx $440 per heat
100 ppm [O] at tap approx $51 per heat
Optimum scrap mix is charged each and every time on time – the correct weight, the correct quality, zero delays
Full inspection, including state of the art radiation detection for all purchased scrap
Proactive reporting of scrap deliveries to enable cash recovery associated with OOS loads, rejected loads and
contaminated loads
Real time IT control for internal and purchased scrap with full stock tracking and reporting system
Full traceability and accountability of scrap throughout site so that potential for fraud can be eliminated
