Turkey: Take advantage of the business opportunities, with and through Turkey
At the beginning of August, the Turkish steel producer Çolakoğlu Metalurji A.S. gave Siemens VAI Metals Technologies the final acceptance certificate for the modernization of electric arc furnace no. 1 in the Gebze Plant, just four days after the first heat. Being already one of the most productive electric arc furnaces in the world before modernization, its performance has been significantly improved once again. Electrical active power input has been increased by eight percent, while the electrical energy consumption has been reduced by six percent at the same time, without increasing the fossile energy comsumption. This has boosted the overall productivity of the electric arc furnace by twelve percent without any change in the tapping weight.
