Abstract
In integrated iron and steel works, fuel gases are produced as byproducts of the coke, iron and steelmaking processes, and can be utilised to fuel reheat furnaces and to generate steam and thus power. British Steel Tubes, while producing some steel in electric arc furnaces, is, in the main, supplied with the raw materials for tubemaking by other steel works. All energy is therefore purchased as fuel oil, natural gas and electrical power. Efficient energy usage is thus essential to the cost effectiveness of the value-adding process of tubemaking. The authors discuss the efficient use of energy for steel-tube reheating at the electric weld stretch reducing plant in the British Steel Tube Works at Corby. >
