Converter Technology
(AOD & CLU)
UHT has been involved in Stainless steel production for more than 30 years. Significant contributions have been made over the years from in-house production experiences in development of complete systems for refining of steel in converters, ladle treatment plants and EAF’s.
UHT offers complete converter equipment and process control systems for refining of stainless steel and ferroalloys. The equipment design is based on our vast experience from the steel industry.
The converter technology covers:
- Design and optimization of process
- Plant layout design
- Equipment design and engineering
- Converter shells
- Converter ring with bearing and drive
- Swivel joint for gas supply to submerged tuyeres
- Piping arrangements on the converter
- Tuyeres
- Hydraulic piping
- Hydraulic system
- Off Gas Hood arrangement
- Lance system or top tuyere system
- Gas mixing station (Valve Station)
- MCC with integrated PLC
- Operator station
- Car for ladle and slagpot
- Additive system
- Level 1 Automation System
- UTCAS L2 process control system
- Training
- Erection supervision
- Cold commissioning
- Hot commissioning
- Plant trimming and plant optimisation
A converter plant is designed based on the process concept involving local conditions, planned product range, market conditions etc. UHT has developed an advanced computer tool for process design where any kind of process alternative can be simulated and optimised. Based on the prerequisites the design tool is used to give all necessary data for the plant design.
