Abstract

The EU-funded PreMa project investigated the potential for a preheating stage to reduce the electrical energy requirement and CO2 emissions produced during the production of high-carbon ferromanganese in a submerged arc furnace. Pilot-scale test work was conducted at Mintek in South Africa to demonstrate the potential effect of preheating on furnace operation. The A 300 kVA AC-furnace facility at Mintek was upgraded extensively for this purpose. The paper reports on the lessons learnt from the pilot-scale test work.
