Outokumpu Chooses ABB Variable-Speed Drives
The systems will provide fume extraction for the melting shop and for individual units such as the electric arc furnace and the argon oxygen decarburiser. Replacing the existing direct-on-line motors, the variable-speed drive fans will produce significant energy savings and achieve an annual saving of more than 5,000 tonnes of CO2.
The contract includes the supply of four motor bedplates, removal of old equipment, a service contract, project management, integration of control equipment and an extended 36-month warranty. Installation is scheduled for late July and early August 2010.
