OUR FIELD PROVEN TECHNOLOGY GRANTS ALL BENEFITS ABOVE TO ANY ELECTRIC ARC FURNACE
The Problem
Since the inception of our business, we identified that most Steel Mill plants suffer from the same types of issues.
Constant Maintenance
Due to the harsh conditions in which they operate, Electric Arc Furnaces have always been plagued by chronic maintenance issues. Many of these problems are seen as "normal" when they don't have to be.
The Cost of Downtime
Every time your operation has to stop due to unplanned or planned maintenance, it affects your bottom line and wastes the time and resources of you and everyone on your team.
Excessive Use Resources
This common issue significantly increases your environmental footprint and cost. Just by addressing this, you can have huge savings every year and minimize your emissions.
Frequent Causes of Outages
Our mission is to prevent the three most frequent causes of unplanned outages: Cause 1, Cause 2 and Cause 3.
Our Solutions
Initial Exploration & Consultation
Initial Exploration & Consultation
The first step in our process is to understand your unique set of improvement opportunities and problems to solve. Our friendly specialized team connects with your team and gathers all the information we need to create a custom plan to address them.
Reducing the Use of Resources
Reducing the Use of Resources
Our initial focus is on eliminating insulative and excess water demand issues within the Electric Arc Furnaces and the external parts directly associated with the production process. This step within itself has been proven to reduce the energy and water demand of the furnaces by nearly 50%.
Reducing Operational Downtime
Reducing Operational Downtime
Once we increase the furnace's thermal and chemical resistance in one area, we shift our focus to any other components that could be exposed to harsh operating conditions. By this point, your monthly operational downtime caused by component failures will be significantly reduced to 50% on average.
Calibrating Key Production Indicators
Calibrating Key Production Indicators
Our next focus is to increase production efficiency by tweaking your KPIs. We do this by focusing on aspects that contribute to increased costs, asset utilization, and gap opportunity formulas. Examples of KPIs include electrode consumption, the life cycle of filters, excessive solids generation, water consumption, percentage of recovered zinc, and many more.
Maintenance & Top-Notch Customer Service
Maintenance & Top-Notch Customer Service
Once we have optimized the largest Pareto efficiency factors, we shift our attention towards maintaining advanced levels of production through a direct line of communication with you. In our Client Portal, you can see a list of all the parts supplied by us and the dates, updates, and information associated with them.
The best part?
Renting our technology is completely free!
We are so confident in our products and engineering,
that we only get paid when you save money.
How We Do It
Sage's unique Thermal Shield and Sage Self Foaming Slag
technologies are the secret to your future success, and ours too!
We customize our Thermal Shield technology for each component of your Electric Furnace, creating a protective sleeve that completely isolates the components from the harsh conditions they operate under.
Once our custom-made protective sleeve has been applied to the components, they will remain "as new" until half the life of the Thermal Shield is exhausted. This normally occurs in cycles 100% or longer than the traditional cycles.
A long list of Key Performance Indicators can be immediately improved in the fourth phase where Sage again provides the engineering, customized hardware, spare components, and maintenance. Each KPI is analyzed and its improvement is clearly defined.
The huge cost of acquiring, collecting, treating, circulating, and cooling off great volumes of water, is currently seen as necessary for operation. Typically 2/3 of the water used to cool off panels is unnecessary when using our Thermal Shield technology.
The final step of the plan customizes the use of Sage Self Foaming Slag (SSFS) which dramatically reduces emissions of NOx, CO, and CO2 , as well as the tap to tap, keeping the earth happy and your bottom line improving.
