Steel Use case partners meet in Sidenor facilities

On October 17th and 18th 2022, BFI and MSI had the opportunity to visit Sidenor’s facilities in Basauri (Basque Country), to further discuss the s-X-AIPI project.

More specifically, a complete visit and tour of the plant was carried out (Scrap Yard, EAF, Casting) and the partners analysed the actual modelling tools which will be implemented in the s-X-AIPI Steel Use case.

Sidenor steel use case focuses on the optimised use of scrap (affected by disturbing elements like copper which are includes especially in low-quality external scrap) to produce high-quality steel products, avoid downstream surface quality problems and reduce process energy intensity (mainly in scrap melting Electric Arc Furnace EAF).
