Badische Stahl-Engineering

#Badische unlocks the future of steelmaking!  We are thrilled to announce that we will open the door for something big - or in this case, closing it!  Stay tuned for the official launch date on 12.12.2024 and experience the future of steelmaking! Whats your take on it: open or closed door policy? #ExcellenceInSteelmaking #EAF  

We are delighted that #Badische is once again participating in the Middle East Fastmarkets Conference in Dubai. Over the next three days, we look forward to sharing our expertise and insights on the latest developments in steelmaking, safety, and sustainability. We are excited to engage with our valued customers and partners and continue fostering strong collaborations within the rapidly growing steel industry in the Middle East. #MEIS2024 #fastmarkets

New EAF for IDC: #Badische has received the final FAC!   In 2021, Izmir Demir Celik / IDC Steel embarked together with Badische Stahl-Engineering on an expansion project aimed at setting a new benchmark for efficient and safe operations with the construction of a new 150 Tonnes #AC #EAF production line for large section profiles.   The furnace has been straigt-forward designed to maximize volume with an optimized and balanced electrical power input using FNM calculations. A homogeneous and powerful chemical energy input was ensured, too. Key safety features include spray-cooled roof and elbow technology in conjunction with an Smart Leakage Detection system.   The new emission control system has been designed to meet IDC's current and future production requirements while fully complying with local environmental regulations.   BSE provided comprehensive basic and detailed engineering for the 150 tonnes EAF, the 150 tonnes #LF and the dust collection system and supplied all important key components such as:   - Furnace gantry, - High current line, - Columns and electrode arms, - Oxygen technology, - Elarc electrode regulation, - Safety tools like the spray-cooled roof and Smart Leakage Detection and - High-pressure HTQ for off-gas treatment all with a high level of automation to meet today's requirements for a safe and near-manless operation.   The new furnace, ladle furnace and dedusting system were commissioned at the end of April 2024 and achieved highly productive operation within eight weeks, meeting the expected performance standards. The final acceptance certificate was issued in September 2024.   This innovative furnace concept will ensure that IDC is equipped for the future world of steel production, with various process tool upgrades already planned for implementation in a second phase to achieve a manless operation around the EAF. We are more than proud of the excellent work done by all the engineers and technicians of IDC and BSE, as well as our suppliers. All the best for a successful and productive future!

Another step forward! 🚀 #flexladleheat #thefutureofsteelmaking #badische

La #Badische au Canada!🍁   It is a great honor to start a new cooperation with our long-standing partners at Ivaco Rolling Mills. The aim is to increase productivity in the first steps by 20%. Our experts from Badische Stahl-Engineering and Badische Stahlwerke GmbH will therefore support the Ivaco team over the next three years.   Last week, the project started with an on-site investigation to assess the potentials of Ivaco's melt shop operation. With the strong support of our Canadian partners, the project now stands on a rock-solid foundation and will certainly take the next steps successfully.   Special thanks for the well-structured and smoothly organized visit to Jaideo Debie, MBA, Samuel Nogueira, Sean Nairn, Scott MacTavish and Don McDougald! #Consulting #Meltshop #Canada #EAF

New team member at #Badische! With his first week finished, we are really happy that Kevin Santos joined our team at #Badische since July 1st.   In the future, he will boost the consulting team's capabilities in cost management, product analysis, and best practices.   Welcome aboard, Kevin!  Here's to a future where innovation thrives and collaboration leads to success.    

We are delighted that Badische Stahl-Engineering has once again received the KUKA System Partner Certificate, confirming our strong and innovative partnership. KUKA is pleased to have a particularly experienced partner at its side who will use the KUKA robot for the BSE-MultiROB at the steel mill furnace, in order to protect human lives. This award supports our commitment to excellence and innovation in automation. We look forward to continuing to shape the future of industrial robotics and safety together with KUKA. #safety #robotic #innovation Ralf Stech

New steps towards #netzero at #Badische!   On July 2nd, a new research project was officially launched by Badische Stahlwerke GmbH, RWTH Aachen University and Badische Stahl-Engineering . The aim: to develop an innovative burner technology that enables the flexible use of #hydrogen and ammonia. Given that natural gas will not be easily substituted in the foreseeable future, this project will enable #Badische to reduce its very low CO2 emissions even further. By doing this, we will get our steel production closer to our ultimate goal of becoming #carbonneutral by 2045.   It is a great honor for us that the Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Klimaschutz, with the coordination of Projektträger Jülich (PtJ), is supporting our project with an additional €2.3 million in funding.   We are looking forward to bring in Dr. Felix Firsbach and Ralf Schweikle among others as key players in this project and advance #Badische technology even more towards #greensteel. #BSE #BadischeStahlwerke

In the past week, Gerdau North America Midlothian and Badische Stahl-Engineering have achieved yet another significant milestone in their collaborative partnership: Over 50 dedicated steelworkers of Gerdau Midlothian successfully concluded a comprehensive seminar series this spring and summer, emphasizing the critical aspects of the operation and maintenance philosophy of #Badische.   This training initiative not only enhances the skill set of all participants but also fortifies the synergy between melt shop operations and maintenance. As we celebrate this accomplishment, we remain committed to continuous improvement and knowledge sharing with our partners in #Texas, ensuring excellence in every facet of melt shop operation for the future.   We would like to express our sincere appreciation to all of the Midlothian participants, our seminar leaders, and of course to all supporters of Badische Stahlwerke GmbH. #Partnership #ContinuousLearning #OperationalExcellence

New strong support for #Badische! Two weeks ago, we welcomed the newest team member of our technical service department, Chiu Kit Lam. Building on his many years of experience in robotics and automation, we are confident that he will have a successful future at Badische Stahl-Engineering . Here's to good teamwork in the future!
