Metal Granulation

UHT has developed a process – GRANSHOT ^® – for quick solidification of metals in water. The process is used in ferroalloy -, iron - and steel - industries. In the process liquid metal is split up, granulated, into droplets which are rapidly quenched in water. The metal is cast directly from liquid metal to ready-to-use bulk material without any crushing and sieving steps. Granulation is often performed with great metal flows (up to 250 tons/hour per production unit for iron). The granulated product is very suitable for use in many metallurgical/steel making operations.

Converter Technology

UHT offers equipment and process control systems for refining of stainless steel and ferroalloys. Based on in depth metallurgical knowledge complete equipment and process is designed for every special application.

The CLU converter process, which is a further development of the AOD process, is the most flexible process for stainless steel and ferroalloy refining. Through the use of steam as an additional process gas all grades of stainless steel can be produced with low argon consumption, high productivity and low refractory wear.

Process Control

Our modern process control systems, based on advanced metallurgical/process models, are delivered as integral parts of our technology packages or can be implemented separately to improve control of already existing production equipment.

The UHT Converter Automation System - UTCAS is a suit of highly sophisticated computer system modules specially designed and developed for converter refining processes.
