Our experience is that EAF Optimization should be understood as a service, and not as a product. In order to maintain and sustain the EAF performance improvements, AMI offers the EAF OPTaaS™ service to work closely with the customer on an on-going basis not only to maintain, but to improve the operating performance in time.

There are many variables in the EAF operation and in the process itself that need to be taken into consideration in the optimization task, for example:

Additionally, the objective of the client in the optimization task must be defined, whether the furnace should run on higher productivity, or better efficiency, to decrease operation cost. But mainly, we understand that these priorities change over time. When our specialists understand these conditions, they can set the rules for the EAF to run efficiently. Many experiences in optimization fail because the system deteriorates over time as the operational conditions change.

Our EAF OPTaaS™ is a comprehensive service package including the following components:
