A) Completed projects.
In this field the company has executed the following
projects:
-.-. The I st project entitled"Oxygon Lancing and Oxygen
enrichment in steel melting furnaces"
-- The 2nd project,entitled " Revamping the Pusher-Type
reheating furnace of the steel rolling mill " is the
emphasis of
. thi~ case study.·

·The audit included all the items of heat loss from the furnaco,
in particular,of heat loss from waste gasses,heat loss from the
lining,heat loss due to infiltration and heat loss by radiation
from the furnace openings •
.
The results of the study showed a high rate of fuel consumption
which was estimated at 67Lit./ton of heated billets.
Comparing this figure with the interna~ional records for th~
The analysis showed that the major oart of these losses is due
to; inefficient utilization of the heat in waste gases;
inadequate burning condition3;lack of automatic corrtrol of the
