Tailor-made energy-saver for India’s Aarti Steels

CISDI has tailor-made an energy-conserving reheating furnace for Aarti Steels.

The furnace, at Aarti’s alloy steel bar rolling line, has been package-supplied.

CISDI has now dried the furnace refractory and the entire bar rolling line was due to undergo hot-testing in mid-October.

CISDI have been responsible for the process from engineering to package supply, commissioning and project management.

The success of this demo project at Aarti Steels has established CISDI’s reheating furnace capabilities in the Indian marketplace. It is expected to make its mark in Turkey and the Middle East soon.

Numerous examples of CISDI’s expert technological advancements have gone into the design for Aarti. Features include:

1) A diesel-heavy oil dual combustion system

The fuel oil main and upstream-burner oil return branch have been combined to ensure oil pressure stability at inlet of the burner.

2) Heat tracing and automatic drainage system

The steam system with heat tracing and the automatic water drainage system facilitate a certain viscosity in the flow of oil, which ensures its combustion.

3) Atomised burning

The burner oil can be atomised, thus creating a stable flame and achieving higher efficiency.
