Energy Steward Project at JINNAN STEEL GROUP
Domestic pioneering energy steward model launch as a green, low-carbon demonstration and resource utilization benchmark.
Plant & Process
JINNAN STEEL GROUP (Shanxi, China) is an integrated steel producer with a complete steel rolling process. The project focuses on the reheating furnace and 5th caster soaking pit.
AI Integration
Full-process thermal management powered by proprietary AI algorithms.
Safe Operation
Long-term steward service ensuring 24/7 reliability and performance monitoring.
Technical Scope
Full-fiber furnace roof retrofit
Total replacement of traditional roof with high-efficiency fiber lining to minimize thermal inertia.
Intelligent reheating control
End-to-end optimization from caster exit to furnace exit, ensuring precise temperature uniformity.
High-Emissivity functional coatings
Applied on critical furnace lining areas to reduce oxidation scale and protect refractory surfaces.
Project Performance Targets
Benchmarks aligned with T80 Extreme Efficiency standards
Per ton of steel, based on T80 extreme efficiency benchmarks for reheating furnaces.
Significant decrease in surface metal loss due to atmosphere control.
Incremental gain in saleable material across the entire reheating process.
Engineered to achieve high-efficiency resource utilization benchmarks.
Note on performance:
The exact performance depends on each plant's baseline and process, but the project is designed and implemented to meet or exceed T80-level performance benchmarks established by the China Iron and Steel Association.
