Production Technology Topics

摘要

"Production Technology Topics" present an outline of noteworthy achievements in technical development, new equipment, new products, etc. in 2009.rnJFE Steel Corporation developed a technology for injection of hydrogen-based gas fuel in sintering machines, "Super-SINTER? (Secondary-fuel Injection Technology for Energy Reduction)", which makes it possible to greatly reduce CO_2 emissions in the sintering process, and successfully applied this technology to a commercial sinter plant for the first time in the world. This equipment was put into commercial operation in January 2009 at JFE's East Japan Works (Keihin District) and has continued to perform smoothly up to the present.
