Re-engineering of a Reheating Furnace in Secondary Steel Sector - A Case Study
Journal Title: JOURNAL OF ADVANCED RESEARCH IN PRODUCTION AND INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
The popular parable energy makes the mare go is set to be extinguished as the energy resources get depleted. There is thus a need to bring austerity in its consumption. The holistic solution is in using proper design of say a reheating furnace – as exemplified in the present case study. The process attributes of reengineering of furnace and the outcomes of case study have been reported in this work. The results show advantage in terms of both productivity and quality of product and the infrastructure. Quantitatively the endeavour helped the entrepreneur to save at least Rs.50.00 lac per annum on his oil bill on an average production of 80 tons/day single-shift basis and taking 300 working days per year. Also it saved at least Rs. 120 lac on account of improved material yield due to reduced scale losses. The consequent increase in profitability displays holistic benefits of the reengineering initiative.
